Hi all,

I'm trying to get a budget card with CAM working. The card is reporting in /var/log/messages as having CI (or so I think)

...

But no initialization of my Conax CAM. It works perfectly with my normal FF setup. Is there a way to debug? If I remember Klaus had some debug lines some time ago, but now i can't find it. Vdr version is 1.3.29.

I found 1.1.23 and Klaus notes about removing the comment to get debug output for the descriptors in eit.c. However I couldn't find that line. (and perhaps the interfaces now are obsolete?)

Could you try with cam_debug parameter set to 1 for dvb-core module ?

Cheers

I found Klaus debug lines in pat.c #define DEBUG_CA_DESCRIPTORS 1 and enabled it. /var/log/messages is dead silent regarding CAM: messages :(

Any other ideas?

Does it make any sense?

Your earlier post with patched ci.c gave me another clue:

...

Aug 27 20:38:40 localhost vdr[5853]: probing /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 Aug 27 20:38:40 localhost vdr[5853]: ERROR (dvbdevice.c,107): Operation not permitted

Is the 107 referring to line 107 of dvbdevice.c? CHECK(ioctl(fd_frontend, FE_SET_VOLTAGE, SEC_VOLTAGE_13)); // must explicitly turn on LNB power

Well, it means that VDR has found CA descriptors for some channels.

When you start VDR, do you get a message like

Aug 27 20:04:41 video vdr[10530]: CAM: AlphaCrypt, 01, 4A20, 4A20

or so in the log file? If not, VDR doesn't find the CAM. You could change the lines

static bool DumpTPDUDataTransfer = false; static bool DebugProtocol = false;

from 'false' to 'true' in VDR/ci.c to see whether there is any communication with the CI/CAM going on.

I allready did that, but it's dead silent. The same CAM works perfectly ok with the FF card.

Dominique Dumont said something about a debug parameter for dvb_core. However the syslog reports that

...

Aug 27 12:58:33 localhost kernel: budget_core: Unknown parameter

`cam_debug'

I didn't succeed to find the proper parameter syntax from the kernel source.

Too old kernel, didn't work with 2.6.8 but did with 2.6.12.
