[vdr] Re: CI Support layer

[Stefan.Hagendorn@lindy.cc]

What does this mean ... the functions are available in the source code of 
the public available driver .. but the matching changes in the firmware 
are not available to the public ??? 

OK .. if it is still unclear if the cam function will made it to the 
publich, it would be nice just to fix this one nasty bug ... we don't 
really need the fancy cam menu thingie ... but we like to look encrypted 
channels (channels we pay for of course) after a replay session .... 

btw just for those which  are not up to date .. The new Version of 
Multidec ( V8.0 - windows software with source available) features an open 
api for add-on "modules". 2 Modules are available now .. one to log key's 
.. and one which acts as a softcam with integrated card emulator .... 
Imagine the possibilitys....

DON'T ask me anything about this .. I only read about it on several boards 
and webpages .. if you wanne know more search the web ... 

Greetings
Stefan

Hi,

Just to clarify: We're working in this area and we have an internal 
release
with the needed functionality in the driver.  Due to some legal issues we
are not able to make a release to the public now. I even do not know if we
will be able to do so in the future. As a company we are always a 
potential
target for legal contentions and have to act very carefully.

If convergence will exist in the near future, we'll try to make a final
examination of what is possible or not and make an announcement.

Hope this information helps for now.

Bye... Szymon.
