[dvblast-devel] Problems with some pro CAMs

[NetOne - Doychin Dokov]

I'm using TT S2-3650 CI on Debian Squeeze, x64, 2.6.35.10, s2-liplianin, 
dvblast latest SVN r178.

There are problems initializing correctly some CAM modules to decrypt 
more than 1 services:
1) AlphaCrypt Pro, v. 3.20
When the module is initialized, it starts functioning correctly, but 
random parts of the stream are not decrypted. This results in random 
hickups, and may occur from once in a couple of hours to at least one in 
5 minutes, depending on encryption and number of channels.
2) Viaccess 1.0 V484
When it is initialized, only the last added CAPMT is functioning 
correctly, so only the service with the highest SID is decrypted.

Both problems have very interesting solution:
1. Comment out all lines in the dvblast config file
2. Do a dvblast reload
3. Uncomment the first service
4. Do a dvblast reload
5. Uncomment the next service
6. Do a reload
...
and so on until all services get uncommented. The result is:
1. AlphaCrypt Pro decrypts 100% of the streams without glitches.
2. Viaccess decodes all channels correctly.

The problem is, the solution works until dvblast resets the CI module 
for some reason ( e.g. transport error), then if you do the 
commenting/uncommenting/reloading stuff again, it starts working correctly.

I've also tried the 1.2 release with the -W option - same problem, same 
solution.

Both modules work fine in a professional headend. When used with 
PowerCAM Pro, dvblast does not expose this problem.

Also, I notice in the latest SVN, there is a CAMPT_WAIT defined, but 
never used. Is this correct? Is it because of the new async io?

Any ideas what i could further try / test to fix / help with this problem?

Kind regards,
Doychin
