The later always uses priority 0. Usually a channel switch for live TV has priority 0 anyway, so it is not a problem here. However timers usually have a higher priority. Either avoid client side recordings or set the priority of client side timers to 0. + +* There have been reports that channel switching with VDR 1.5.x/1.6.x clients +sometimes fails. Current version includes a workaround which seems to work, but +YMMV ;) + +* Viewing encrypted channels became an issue with VDR's new CAM handling code. +Streamdev doesn't provide a (dummy) CAM, so out of the box, VDR won't ever try +to receive encrypted channels from streamdev. Pick one of the following +solutions to work around the problem: + +1. Force VDR to use streamdev. Open the channels menu on the client (or edit its +channels.conf if you know how to do this) and set the CA field of all channels +that only the server can decrypt to streamdev's device index. Usually streamdev +will get number 9 or 10. Streamdev logs the actual device number when starting +up. So please consider the logs for the correct value. Remember to fill in +hexadecimal values if you are using an editor to modify your channels.conf +(number 10 becomes an "a", number 11 a "b", ...). + +2. Turn encrypted channels into Free-to-Air channels on the client. Again, +either enter the channels menu or edit the client's channels.conf. You will +also have to disable automatic channel updates on the client or (if streamdev +is the only DVB source) disable streamdev's filter streaming feature. Otherwise +VDR will revert the channel into an encrypted one. + +3. Apply the patch "patches/vdr-1.6.0-ignore_missing_cam.diff" to your +client VDR. |
