Hi Christophe,

it is a irdeto cam. I will give 1.2-to-be a try.

Thanks

I have a working smart card inserted into my CAM, it card works in a normal decoder. I stream the content to a other PC where I have VLC running. All VLC receives is nothing, it doesn;t even open a viewing window even though, by using tcpdump, packets are being sent on that port and VLC is receiving something.
