English please.

Principaly where the service list is build you should find a way to check for the cached caid list and when it has contence then you could show an icon.

So finally this will not be to bad.

 

In python there are already examples how te reteive this caid cache... (see e.g. pliextrainfo.py)

 

service = self.source.service
info = service and service.info()
available_caids = info.getInfoObject(iServiceInformation.sCAIDs)

 

then

 

is_encrypted = available_caids (or is_encrypted = len (available_caids) > 0

 

I hope to give some direction here.

 

How to add the feature to sevicelist.cpp I suggest there are many examples (see e.g. service type or the picon stuff or the progress bar etc...)

I verified in servicelist.cpp that service_info is already available.

 

Then you just need to ask for the CAID cache.... or possibly also info.getInfo(iServiceInformation.IsCrypted) might work...

I hope this information is helpfull for Huevos... and in addition I hope when we makes a patch for it he also offers a patch for OpenPLi directly

Not sure what you mean. I've always been happy to share any additions I've made, but in this case it's C++ so not something I know how to do.

DMM E2 stores dummy Caid C:0000 on service scan, this is stored if a service is flaged as encrypted in SDT. The correct Caids are stored after zapping on a service.
And you are right dreamboxEDIT is handling this properly since DMM added this 2 years ago on my request.

2 years ago... This means it is in their closed source stuff....

[dhwz]

Yes but shouldn't be a big problem to implement this in Pli too :-)

I see here an opportunity to sort out the free unencrypted channels. May find some interesting free channel, which would otherwise be overlooked but I'm not sure, is it worth the hassle Adding this flag?

for FTA channels

 

01) open channellist

02) green button (satellites)

03) select FTA bouquet

[elsato]

wrong quote in my previous post. Has to be

 

Almost every satellite receiver allows the user to choose between FTA and encrypted channels when doing a scan. And also to display an encryption flag in the channel list.

 

Is there any reason why this hasn't been implemented in Enigma2? And is it possible?

@El Sato

As said above that can't work properly as long as the services are not marked as encrypted on service scan.

Even if they are marked on service scan there are still services which don't have set the encryption flag properly so some channels are still visible as FTA but they are encrypted (e.g. provider CSAT).

[littlesat]

Indeed.... this will never be 100%....

On closed "provider" boxes this can be closed because the provider itself aranges the complete channel list...

That is also why for a e2 box this can never work "perfect"...

 

I gave some guidelines... everyone who want this featue is welcome to try it and give us a patch... Indeed it might be an idea during scanning and a channel is detected as encrypted to add a fake CAID 0000....

Try to scan Eutelsat 36A/36B (36.0)
then you will see miracles

at least DMM image was seen miracles

I don't know what you mean.

 

I scanned Eutelsat 36°E and only FTA channels are shown into FTA bouquet.

 

for example Setanta Euro Asia is crypted and is not shown in FTA bouquet

I can't receive them. Most L and R polarised channels are on Russia beam.

I have only Triax TD 88 dish in NL.

I can't find that file. Is that the correct name?

Edited by Huevos, 30 March 2014 - 22:59.

[littlesat]

Its in cpp not python... In the sources in /lib/services
