[Pending] Support for CI with KNC BDA DVBS2 Tuner (1 Viewer)

[Fragone]

In GlobeTV (the Software delivered by KNCOne), the CAM ist detected and works. In Mediaportal, it doesn't. I searched the source code and found a possible fix for that.

My TVService.log:

As far as i could find out, the problem is here:

ConditionalAccess.cs from line 136 (calls KNCAPI)

 Log.Log.WriteFile("Check for KNC");
 // Lookup device index of current card. only counting KNC cards by device path
 int DeviceIndex = KNCDeviceLookup.GetDeviceIndex(card);
 _knc = new KNCAPI(tunerFilter, (uint)DeviceIndex);
 if (_knc.IsKNC)
 {
 //if (_knc.IsCamReady())
 _ciMenu = _knc; // Register KNC CI Menu capabilities when CAM detected and ready
 Log.Log.WriteFile("KNC card detected");    //// <-- never reached
 return;
 }
 Release.DisposeToNull(ref _knc);

KNCAPI.cs from line 347 (Checks device desc against array ValidTuners)

public KNCAPI(IBaseFilter tunerFilter, uint DeviceIndex)
 {
 ptrPmt = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(1024);
 ptrCallback = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(7 * 4); // 7*Int32
 _ptrDataInstance = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(1024);

 m_tunerFilter = tunerFilter;

 FilterInfo info;
 tunerFilter.QueryFilterInfo(out info);
 foreach (String validTuner in ValidTuners)
 {
 if (info.achName == validTuner)
 {
 m_bIsKNC = true;  //// <-- never reached
 break;
 }
 }
 if (!m_bIsKNC)
 {
 return;
 }

 // iDeviceIndex passed by TvLibrary ! Enumerated by DevicePath
 m_iDeviceIndex = DeviceIndex;
 Log.Log.Debug("KNC: card {0} detected: {1}", m_iDeviceIndex, info.achName);

 OpenCI();
 }

KNCAPI.cs from line 209:

 #region constants

 private string[] ValidTuners = new string[]
 {
 "KNC BDA DVB-S",
 "KNC BDA DVB-S2",
 "KNC BDA DVB-C",
 "KNC BDA DVB-T",
 "Mystique SaTiX DVB-S",
 "Mystique SaTiX DVB-S2",
 "Mystique CaBiX DVB-C2",
 "Mystique TeRiX DVB-T2",
 "Mystique SaTiX-S",
 "Mystique SaTiX-S2",
 "Mystique CaBiX-C2",
 "Mystique TeRiX-T2"
 };

 #endregion

As you can see above, the card identifies itself as "KNC BDA DVBS2" without hyphen. Maybe this could be the problem that the acces to the CAM menu doesn't work - at least i suppose that from the code (I'm not a .NET coder, but other languages).

I would be glad if the ValidTuners array could be enlarged by the "KNC BDA DVBS2" without hyphen.

Thank you!

Here some more information for developpers:

Card: TV-Station DVB-S2 Twin
http://www.knc1.com/d/produkte/digital_dvb_s2_twin.htm

CI-Module: CineView4
http://www.knc1.com/d/produkte/cineview4.htm
The CI Module is directly attached to the card.

The latest KNCBDACTRL.DLL (as delivered by latest KNC One Download)
And the latest driver for the card (if needed).

Hello

Support for the Twin CI slots requires much more than just the name change. The Twin is supported in TVE 3.5 already...
