I have a number of different Conax CAM modules from different manufacturers and all of them
disappear from VDR after a couple of days running. Hitting CAM reset on the CI menu will bring it
back "online". Naturally all Conax channel recordings will fail silently as a result of
this until the CAM has been brought back up. Switching to an encrypted channel just gives the
standard "channel not available" message.
This happens (for me) with Satelco DVB-C card with Satelco CI. From what I
understand, this seems to be a common problem though I'm not sure whether it is
limited to Satelco devices only.
Would it be possible to force CAM reset on all CI slots when VDR is trying to
start recording non-FTA channel?
Wouldn't it be better to fix the actual problem and prevent
the CAM from "disappearing"?
Of course as always. But we don't live in a perfect world ;)
I'm not too happy about the idea to start testing different DVB card/CI combos
on my own expense to find one that works. Especially nowadays when finding
non-USB/Linux supported tuners for cable reception is next to impossible.
I wasn't suggesting that you get some new hardware.
What I meant was to fix the driver, which I would assume is
causing the problems.
Of course, there might as well be a problem in VDR's own CAM
handling code. However, I've looked through that several times
and didn't find anything that looks fishy. But if somebody
can point out a bug in there, I'd be happy to accept a fix.
