[fixed] cam limit broken in rc6 (2 Viewers)

[riksmith]

To get it clear:

Does the problem seem to be that the channel is incorrectly marked as non-fta?
Or is cam limit not working in general?

hi riksmith

For me the cam limit works until i do a new channel scan.
I will test RC4 tomorrow.

I got the same problem with digitenne(DVB-T) also with fta channels (nederland 1,2,3).

I`m glad to read that it is not my fault that it doesn`t work( it save`s me a lot of hours of and )

Could you please provide TV server logs from a scan? This will help.

I will try to post logs tonight.(gtm +1:00 )

I assume i can use the manual server control option for making an useful log?

I think that the most useful thing would be for you to delete all your channels, scan them, export them to a file and post that file.

If you could then install RC5, RC4 and RC3, and do the same, this would really help (I know this will take a significant amount of time) as we will be able to work out exactly which RC things started to go wrong in.

We do have a fair idea, but need to narrow it down further.

If everyone who is seeing these problems could do the same, we would have a good chance.

If the developers think they need any more information, could they please request it?

Thanks,

Mark

The logging itself is handy too.

I did a clean install of rc4 and did a channel scan. ----> cam limit works !

Then I did a clean install of rc5 and did a channel scan. ----> cam limit doesn't work!

I also imported the channellist from rc4 in rc5, but that doesn't work.

Importing an old channellist in rc5 fix the cam limit, but it's scanned with an other TV card and a I see that freetoair = true with the encypted channels I use.
A time ago where the channels i use all fta because problems at the provider, maybe that's the reason for freetoair = true.

The frequency of the transponder I tested is 12722000 KHz.
Here are the exported channel lists from rc4,rc5 and the old one.

So if this broke in RC5, it is between SVN 25992 and 26036.

If this is correct, then the only SVN modifications to code in TVE3 in this timeframe are 26001, 26011, 26012, 26014, 26022 and 26024. 26011 does some work on channels. In fact, if we assume that the problem is within setupTV, then 26011 is the only candidate.

TVService/CardManagement has not changed since 25961, which is strange, because this is where the previous CAM limit fixes were applied.

It would be good to have additional confirmation that channel scanning/CAM limit in RC4 is fine, but in RC5 it is not.

However, I am slightly concerned that importing the RC4 channel list into RC5 does not work properly, whereas importing an older one does work fine. Did I interpret you correctly in this?

From your RC4 (works) file you have

<channel Name="JIM" GrabEpg="False" IdChannel="1301" IsRadio="False" IsTv="True" LastGrabTime="2000-1-1 0:0:0" SortOrder="922" TimesWatched="0" TotalTimeWatched="2000-1-1 0:0:0" VisibleInGuide="True" FreeToAir="False" DisplayName="JIM">

from your RC5 (doesn't work) you have

<channel Name="JIM" GrabEpg="False" IdChannel="1149" IsRadio="False" IsTv="True" LastGrabTime="2000-1-1 0:0:0" SortOrder="10000" TimesWatched="0" TotalTimeWatched="2000-1-1 0:0:0" VisibleInGuide="True" FreeToAir="False" DisplayName="JIM">

and from your old channel list you have

<channel Name="JIM" GrabEpg="True" IdChannel="1656" IsRadio="False" IsTv="True" LastGrabTime="2010-5-18 16:45:14" SortOrder="1384" TimesWatched="0" TotalTimeWatched="2000-1-1 0:0:0" VisibleInGuide="True" FreeToAir="True" DisplayName="JIM">

so only the old channel list has FreeToAir=true for this channel.

I know this is a pain, but can you verify your testing?

Maybe there are two separate problems - the CAM limit and the freetoair status. I am using this channel since this is one you mentioned earlier. I don't know anything about this channel, so is it actually free to air? If not, was it free to air at the time of your older scan?
