...the module status changed from 3 ("ready") to 2 ("present").
The module status is retrieved from the driver in cDvbCiAdapter::ModuleStatus():
eModuleStatus cDvbCiAdapter::ModuleStatus(int Slot)
{
ca_slot_info_t sinfo;
sinfo.num = Slot;
if (ioctl(fd, CA_GET_SLOT_INFO, &sinfo) != -1) {
if ((sinfo.flags & CA_CI_MODULE_READY) != 0)
return msReady;
else if ((sinfo.flags & CA_CI_MODULE_PRESENT) != 0)
return msPresent;
}
else
esyslog("ERROR: can't get info of CAM slot %d on device %d: %m", Slot,
device->DeviceNumber());
return msNone;
}
So for some reason the sinfo.flags doesn't seem to have the CA_CI_MODULE_READY
flag set any longer.
Please take a look to the test code in attachment, provided by Christoph
Pfister. With it I got the following output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/video/vdr/cam# ./test
0.000008: 3
0.000161: 0
0.014133: 1
1.694142: 3
And explanation:
After a reset CAM is "absent" for a very short time (<14ms == less than
a scheduler tick) and then it takes ~1.7s to become ready again. (The
intervall between reset and status query seems to be a bit bigger in vdr
- so we only see the 3-->1 change == 3-->2 in vdr numbers).
It's an endless loop: cam detection --> cam reset --> cam not
present/ready for a short while --> vdr thinks cam has been physically
removed --> cam detection --> cam reset etc.
Big thanks to Christoph for assistance.
Is it realistic to hope for a workaround/solution for this kind of CAMs
(Technotrend CX at my case)?
