[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 836417, member: 82144"] [b]Re: AW: Re: Digital Devices: cascaded CAM support[/b] Hi HTPC_2010 I'm sorry for the delay - I have not had time to create a new version until now. :sorry: Please find a new version for MP 1.2.2 attached. This version is quite different to the previous version and I need your help to test. First, these are the installation instructions. 1. Stop TV Server and close MP and TV Server configuration. 2. Take a backup of the TVLibrary.dll and TvLibrary.Interfaces.dll in your TV Server install folder (default folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server). 3. Download and extract the attached DLLs into your TV Server install folder. 4. Copy the TvLibrary.Interfaces.dll into your MediaPortal install folder. The changes are: 1. Browsing of the CAM menu should be possible for all CAMs. If you have multiple CI slots configured for a tuner and you try to enter the CAM menu then the first menu will ask you to "select a CAM". After selecting the CAM you should be able to browse the menu for that CAM. 2. Messages from all CAMs are shown. Previously we only checked for messages from the first CAM. Now we check all CAMs. 3. CAM messages are turned off for 10 seconds after asking the CAM to decrypt a channel This change only has an effect if you have multiple CI slots linked to the tuner. The goal is to try to avoid showing the incorrect "can't decrypt channel" messages. It is not a perfect solution but at the moment there is still no way to know which CAM(s) can and can't decrypt each channel so we still send decrypt requests to all CI slots. I have also thought more about providing the CAM limit setting for each CAM but it is not possible yet. It is only possible when there is a way to know which CAM is used to decrypt each channel. To be honest I don't see it as a big problem. Each tuner can only decrypt one channel so there is only a chance of problems if a CAM is linked to more tuners than the number of channels that it can decrypt simultaneously. Example: if the CAM can only decrypt 1 channel and you link it to 2 tuners then there could be a problem. The best solution is to buy a CAM that can decrypt as many channels as the number of tuners you are going to link it to.
