Problem:
A while ago me (and others) had the problem that sometimes when MP came out of standby it would not be able to show pay TV, ie the CAM was not detected or similar. This was not an issue with the CAM as simpy restarting MP(*NOT* rebooting the HTPC) fixed the problem. This issue seems to have returned. I have included the necessary log files and i give my take on them below:
Before standby the CI+CAM is working, as can be seen in the logs by me succesfully tuning the pay channel 2Film. In the logs i find the following:
After resuming from standby the CAM is not detected as can be seen below, and when i try to tune the pay channel TV3 all i get is a black screen. Switching to the unencrypted channel TV2 works fine.
I then tried closing down MP(not the computer) and restarting it, and now it works again.
Im thinking there might be a timing issue involved here, when resuming the CI on the Twinhan card might need a second or two to (re)-init the CAM and until that time simply says no CAM is inserted.
I hope now that we have a nice log file giving the details we can get to the bottom of this issue. If more tests are needed just give the word
UPDATE: Looking at the code, the above log entries are printed by C:\mpsource\Core\DShowNET\Helper\cards\Twinhan.cs .
It seems that IsCamPresent() when called will only check the CI state if it hasnt been checked before. If the CAM is not ready when MP resumes it is therefore plausible that the CAM is recorded as not being present, and all subsequent calls to IsCamPresent() return false.
