AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling

Added by Manuel Menz about 8 years ago

Hi,

i have a problem with my AlphaCrypt Hardware CI Modul. TvHeadend recognizes the Modul but it did not descrambling encrypted channels.

Have i do some settings before i can decrypt channels with the Hardware CI?

Hi again,
there seems to be a bug with hardware CAM in the current tvheadend version, maybe it also affects you. I experienced the issue that the CAM worked perfectly when using vlc as client for the full mpeg ts. Whenever using HTSP or any transcoding profile it wouldn't work. After spending hours on that I've found a hint in one of the bugtracking discussions. I've created a fake CA in the "CA tab" > Add CAPMT > standard settings. TVH will complain that it can't connect, but since that the hardware CAMs work perfectly. Give it a try!
Regards,
Michael

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Manuel Menz about 8 years ago

Hi Michael,

thanks for the hint.
I will give it a try and give feedback whether it works.

The fake CA have to be enabled, right?

Regards
Manuel

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Manuel Menz about 8 years ago

Hi Michael,

i've downloaded the latest Tvheadend version yesterday. Now the CAM works with and without the fake CA in my Setup.

Manuel

Hi Manuel,
thanks for letting me know, I'll check that out too.

How do you get TVH working with AlphaCrypt Hardware CI?
On which device do you have TVH and AC running?

Thanks in advance

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Manuel Menz about 8 years ago

Hi over,

i have a TBS 5990 USB DVB-S Adapter with the official driver from TBS (https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki).
My Tvheadend Version is 4.1-2286~gb15b02c.

You have to compile with --enable-liben50221 support (i think this is default).
Then just plug the CAM in and enable it in Tvheadend.

Regards
Manuel

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by over drive about 8 years ago

Thanks for the fast response.
Can you encrypt more then one channel at time?

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Manuel Menz about 8 years ago

I don't know i did not tested this.
I can test this next week and give feedback.

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Manuel Menz about 8 years ago

I've tested descrambling two channels at same time and it works with my AlphaCrypt Module.

Regards
Manuel

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by over drive almost 8 years ago

Hello and thank you for the testing.

Where the channels on different transponders?
Can you test 3 Channel with everyone on an other transponder?

regards
OVER

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Manuel Menz almost 8 years ago

Hi,

no, i can not test this because at the moment i have only one dvb-s cable to the tvheadend box.

Regards
Manuel

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Christian Brauwers almost 8 years ago

i also tested this, without luck.

same settings, fresh compiled version.
with fake and without ... Alphacrypt is recognized but nothing decoded

whats going wrong?

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Eddsch K almost 8 years ago

same Problem here:

what i've done:

+ try diffent versions - i've tried to use TvH 4.0.9 and 4.1-2268 and the newest git, but it does not work:
+ try to use a "Fake CA"
+ reboot
+ newest driver from Digital Devices
+ play with CI settings

Here the log, same Problem, as user Niklas Koehler

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Christian Brauwers almost 8 years ago

I have the Max S8 and Octopus Duo Ci.

I don't really understand with the adapaters_alloc = 3 i have adapter0 and adapter1 under /dev/dvb ...

shouldn't it be only one?

i compiled yesterday latest version ... can see the AC under the CAs ... but decrypting isn't working ...

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Eddsch K almost 8 years ago

i think two devices under /dev/dvb are right in your case

read here for configs:

echo 'options ddbridge fmode=x' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ddbridge.conf

fmode=0
4-Tuner
fmode=1
Quad-LNB 
fmode=2
Quattro-LNB
fmode=3
Unicable oder JESS LNB

i have 3 devices - DD Cines S2 V6 (dual tuner) and CineFlexCI

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Christian Brauwers almost 8 years ago

Yes, fmode=1 is set in my options ...

The Server runs perfectly for months now ... i just wanna try to include my Abocard into it.
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS ... and all the redirect commands didn't work for me. no rights to do that (with sudo too) ...

really don't know what to do anymore

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Eddsch K almost 8 years ago

got it working, see here:
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Digital_Devices_DuoFlex_C%26T#Adding_CI

in my case it was echo "00 02" > /sys/class/ddbridge/ddbridge0/redirect

but i've a big Problem: afer switching around a bit i've got a green image with interferences

also i need luck to get it working for 4-5 channels, after switching it does not descramble - or it does not descramble form beginning - it is random

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Christian Brauwers almost 8 years ago

he always told me i have no rights to do that command

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Eddsch K almost 8 years ago

you must stop any service that uses /dev/dvb

like:
service tvheadend stop

echo "X0 X2" > /sys/class/ddbridge/ddbridge0/redirect
Y Z

X: adapter number like ca0 --> X=0
Y: usually zero --> Y=0
Z: TAB interface 1 -> TAB3 ---> Z=2

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Christian Brauwers almost 8 years ago

everything stopped (i can modprobe -r the ddbridge) so i can be sure nothing access /dev/dvb

echo "00 02" > /sys/class/ddbridge/ddbridge0/redirect
-bash: /sys/class/ddbridge/ddbridge0/redirect: Keine Berechtigung (the last is german stands for not allowed)

i really don't know what i'm doing wrong

Do it as root ("su" (if non-deb/ubuntu) or "sudo -s").

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Christian Brauwers almost 8 years ago

ahhh damn, i always put the sudo on the wrong position ...

can somebody explain me the thing with the TABs?

RE: AlphaCrypt Hardware CI did not descrambling - Added by Christian Brauwers almost 8 years ago

i believe i had to redirect

"10 02"

From adapter 1 frontend 0 to adapter0 ca0 which is TAB3 and this where 2(+1) right?

so i think echo this into redirect isn't working ... (ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS)

(1-25/42)
