Decrypting in v5?

[Reddwarf]

Is or will decrypting be implemented in v5 without using sat>ip? It was hoplessly complicated to set up in Linux so I won't even attempt in windows since I recon it will be dependent of Cygwin....

On Windows, the same multidec functionality from v4 is still there and should work, though I might need to expose setting to allow you to enable it. It'll be running the exact same code that you've run previously with v4.

On Linux you'd need to use SAT>IP if you want use softcams etc.

Yeah, too complicated and way too shaky in Linux. Ie, v5 on Linux is only for american users.....

So is the windows version ready for testing with softcam decrypting?

As a Canadian running linux I disagree with your statement. Also there are many people happily running PVR software without decryption.

Finally you may want to edit your profile signature since the markup you use isn't supported on this new forum softwre.

There was few users of v4 softcam support. Maybe a couple of dozen tops. Every one else will be just fine on v5 without softcam support. ie, the vast majority of users from United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, and lots of other countries, never needed it in v4, and wont need it in v5.

You may be correct about that, but you are also excluding all future users that need softcam support. BTW, it should not be too complicated to write a wrapper for Acamd.dll and everything should work as usual.

Now what about my question?

I'm not ruling out adding my own Linux implementation in future, but it's not a high priority for me, so it'd come later. It's a lot of work for a small number of users.

As noted, it shouldn't be a big deal to getting Acamd.dll working on Windows, since that code is all the same.

My biggest issue with anything CI or SoftCam related is that I no longer have any way to test it. I have no encrypted signals that can be accessed this way. My cable company used to use Irdeto, and I had smartcard I could use for testing. They moved away from that, and now use an IPTV system.

So is the windows version ready for testing with softcam decrypting?

I just checked the code now. It looks like it needs me to add about a dozen lines of code to hook it up. I'll try to do that in the next few days.

Great, looking forward to do some windows testing. And btw, what I meant was that it shouldn't be too complicated to get Acamd running on Linux using a wrapper...

acamd.dll is a Windows dll. There is no way to use that from Linux.
