[vdr] Re: [vdr][Fixed] Re: Watching encrypted channels

[Boris Lenzinger <boris.lenzinger@castify.net>]

Hi,

Finally I found the fix thanks to the CaCaps indication and to Google.
There is a patch that need to applied to vdr.
It is listed in a previous mail of the ml: 
http://linvdr.org/mailinglists/vdr/2003/12/msg00143.html
After applying the patch and recompile vdr, I can now watch the 
encrypted channels for which I have subscription.

syntax in the setup.conf is
CaCaps = 1 14001

(the syntax CaCaps = 14001 was triggering an error in my install).

Thanks again for the help.

Boris
