EIT-scanning fails on encrypted channels

[tommy.alander@…]

Eit doesn't gather any data on encrypted channels. It used to work prior to the 0.25 release.

The scanner tries to tune to the correct channel but logs "PID xxx status: Encrypted"

I can provide more logs if needed.

Do you mean "prior to the 0.24 release" or are you talking about trunk?

Please run your backend with -v eit,extra and attach the log to this ticket.

I'm using 0.24. It used to work in 0.23.1.

My problem is that full epg is only sent on two channels that i'm aware of. Both are encrypted. The other channels only profile two events, current and next. Full epg are at least three days.

After doing some research it looks like the eit scanner is waiting for a signal lock which will never happen. I tried a quick hack and removed these lines:

if ((flags & kDTVSigMon_WaitForCrypt) && !matchingCrypt.IsGood?())

return false;

from dtvsignalmonitor.cpp. Now it is working. I will research more...

In tv_rec.cpp@2086 there is this code:

        if (EITscan)
        {
            sm->GetStreamData()->SetVideoStreamsRequired(0);
            sm->IgnoreEncrypted(true);
        }

It is supposed to make sure the kDTVSigMon_WaitForCrypt flag is not set. This isn't really using the API as intended, but it should work. I think the problem is we're only running that code for MPEG tunes where there is no EIT and not for ATSC and DVB tunes where there is EIT.

Can you try moving that code up to just above:

  sm->SetRotorTarget(1.0f);

a few lines earlier and report back whether that works?

Not exactly, but your suggestion put me on the right track. The problem was that the "if(eitscan)" section was missing in the dvbtuneing part. I added that and now it's working.

Patch attched.

EIT Scanning: Parse for EIT even if the Audio and Video PIDs are encrypted.

Tommy Alander reported (and Daniel K diagnosed) an issue where a bit of code had been overlooked. When EIT scanning MPEG channels, we correctly told the rec code to ignore encryption status when the tune was for EIT scanning. That same block of code was missing from DVB tuning. Add the missing code.

Fixes #9336.
