Terratec H7 aka az6007 with CI

[Roger Mårtensson]

Hello!

Just a reminder that az6007 with CI still isn't working 100% with Kaffeine.
But since I use my device with MythTV that uses the same usage pattern 
as my workaround for Kaffeine it works like a charm.

The pattern are:
* Open up device / Start Kaffeine
* Tune to encrypted channel / Choose channel in Kaffeine
* Close Device / Close Kaffeine
* Open device / Start Kaffeine
* Watch channel

The exact procedure that MythTV uses when tuning to a channel.

Not exactly sure if this is a driver bug or a Kaffeine bug since I'm 
just a user.

The "normal" way that do not work in Kaffeine are:
* Start Kaffeine
* Tune to an encrypted channel
* If that works tune to another encrypted channel which will not work.

Since it is working with my main application I'm satisfied but look at 
this as a formal bug report. If you need any help or testing I'm willing 
to help time permitting. I know that some of you doing the actual work 
doesn't have access to a CAM but if you need debugging information or 
any output just notify me directly.

I'm am running a relativly new media_build. Haven't been able to test 
the latest media_build since it is stopping on a compile error. (As of 
25 of August 2012)

Thanks again for the hard work with the driver (Mauro for the inclusion 
and Jose for the CI. Hopefully I got the names right).

It is much appreciated by me and my better half.

It is likely driver bug.

You could take sniffs from windows and do some hacking. It should not be 
very hard to fix.

I don't see that, but it is not surprise as I use latest Kernel.

Also latest build test logs shows all builds are working

Sorry but that is a no go for me.. It is in production now and my 
boss(AKA Wife) would do some unspeakable to me if I do anything that 
interrupts her favourite shows. Just kidding about the last part but not 
about running on windows. Sorry.

I will do my best if you or anyone else need any debugging done and/or 
testing of patches that I can use when compiling media_build.

I did some more testing today and it seems that my media_build 
environment was in a funky state. Will try to take some time and install 
latest and greatest not that I'm very optimistic. Mauro did some work 
lately on the driver but he said it shouldn't have anything to do about 
this problem and the commit messages seems to be about something 
entirely different.

Since it is setup correctly when opening the device it looks like the 
same stuff has to be done when tuning? Maybe a forced CAM-reset or 
something? Well.. Now I'm just guessing.

Since the driver is the same for DVB-T and DVB-C both types should 
experience the same problem.

Isn't there anyone else on this list with this device with access to a 
CAM/CI that could help? Pretty please? :-)

Thanks again for the response. Sorry I couldn't help with USB snooping .
It is a very good device and I sure would like to get it to work even on 
kaffeine :). It's quite new. Still in production and with working CI. 
That is a rare thing in Linux.
