I can't verify that the new cards work since I have three TBS5880 cards but those work as before, perhaps with even faster channel switching? Thanks for the update!

I only have one problem with the setup. It seems like it's only the first card that's used after a restart of the TV server can use it's CI-port? All cards can receive free channels but only one, the first one used, can decrypt the coded ones. If I restart the TV-server I can change "working" card by manually start a timeshift so I know that all CAM and SmartWi-cards is working.

Step by step guide to add CI support for TBS cards to MediaPortal.
(for people with [at least a little] programming experience)

Step1: Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio (www.microsoft.com/express -> “Express for Windows Desktop”)
Step2: Download MediaPortal SourceCode from GitHub. (https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/tree/Release_1.3.0)
->Click on the button “ZIP” to download the source-code and extract it to your harddisk.
Step3: open the downloaded source code with Visual Studio by opening the file : …\TvEngine\TVLibrary\TvLibrary.sln
Step4: In solution-explorer open “Library”->”TvLibrary”->”Implementations”->”DVB”->”ConditionalAccess”. (If solution explorer is not already open, it can be opened using menu: “View”->Solution Explorer (or keyboard-shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+L))
Step5: Do a right-mouse-click on “ConditionalAccess” in the context-menu select “Add”->”New Folder” and name it “Turbosight”.
Step6: drag&drop the attached file “Turbosight.cs” (inside Visual Studio) on the folder “Turbosight” which you created in Step5.
Step7: replace “Library”->”TvLibrary”->”Implementations”->”DVB”->”ConditionalAccess”->”ConditionalAccess.cs” with the attached file.
Step8: drag&drop the attached file “DvbConditionalAccess.cs” to “Library”->”TvLibrary.Interfaces”.
Step9: replace “Library”->”TvLibrary.Interfaces”->”Implementations”->”Channels”->DVBSChannel.cs with the attached file.
Step10: Compile the project. (eg. By right-mouse-click on “Library” -> “Build”)
Step11: Close Visual Studio, stop TVServer-windows-service and copy “../TvEngine3/TvLibrary/TVLibrary/bin/Debug[or Rlease]/TvLibrary.dll and TvLibrary.Interfaces.dll to your MediaPortal TVServer directory. also copy TBSCiApi.dll from the attached file to the TVServer-directory.

Is it just me or did anyone notice that above solution does not work anymore with the latest origin/master builds?

it is working, my patch is based on the master from some days ago, but maybe it is due to the fact that the cable card branch was merged...
Will check it out next weekend if I should forget about it, remember me

I usually compile latest master with Markus1980Wien's provided source code and instructions. As said, for me this does not work anymore due to compilation errors.

For your information. It compiles fine without Markus1980Wien's solution. But, when use your patch (tbs.rar) on my MP 1.4 (latest master), TVService will not start anymore. Your patch works fine on generic MP 1.4 version.

Thanks for your effort(s)!

that doesn't surprise me^^ If you look at this commit:
https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/commit/713ee742a777b48783672acda2e94f2a279a395f
you see the great work from mm to add cable card support, if you now compile a MP version based on latest master and replace some dlls with the ones from my patch you don't have to be surprised (what I want to say: MP version with cable card support + replacement of dlls which get also changed by the cable card patch => not good)

try the conditionalasccess.cs attached here

Edit:
If you want do it the right way:
check out the MP1.4 src
apply the patch
merger current master There is a conflict which you have to resolve by the using
you have to take all 3 (the one from the old file and the two from the new file)
