I have uploaded a patch against VDR 1.3.36 to
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.36-multicamtest.diff
which is a first attempt to allow multiple channels to be decrypted at the same time, provided the CAM supports this.
There is currently no test whether this operation is possible or how many channels a given CAM can decrypt simultaneously, so use this with extreme care! This is just for testing!!
With my AlphaCrypt CAM I have successfully tested 3 parallel recordings of encrypted channels on the same transponder.
Now the reason why I am providing this patch is that I'd like to invite you folks to try this out and maybe see what might be wrong here. The problem is that whenever a channel is added or removed from the CA_PMT data, there are distortions in the recordings. ...
Meanwhile I got a message from Mascom (the manufacturer of the AlphaCrypt CAM) and they told me that the current CAM firmware actually has a problem there, and that it will be fixed in a future version.
