In Topic: Audio dropouts and weird dmesg messages

6 September 2024 - 12:58

I had to reorganize things a bit because (the only one) SPDIF input in my AVR was already occupied by optical connection to TV set (I use TV as a player for some streaming services) so I had to switch to eARC between TV and AVR first.

Then I connected Vu+ SPDIF output to AVR's SPDIF input (video over HDMI, audio via optical SPDIF) and the issue went away - theese messages are still there but no audio dropouts.

 

If HDMI connection (port in Vu+ or cable) was at fault then I would also have some distoritions/interruptions in video, not just audio. So not sure what to think about it.

That's an idea, I'll try to pass audio from Vu+ to AVR via optical Toslink connection and see if it changes anything.

I meant - OSCAM is doing something to the smartcard which triggers these messages.

That leads to the question - what is "DFP" driver/module that reports these unknown commands.

Hi,

 

Sorry about forgetting to mention about it.

This is "generic" CI smartcard/accesscard, not CI+ and not paired with my Conax CI/CAM module.

 

But in Vu+ I'm using smart card alone, without CI module, inserted directly into smartcard reader of Vu+ + OSCAM.

This gives me stellar capabilities with FBC tuner - recording multiple channels in parallel (while watching something else), streaming TV channels to my tablet etc.

(I'm lucky because I'm an old customer and later on my cable operator switched to CI+ modules and access smart cards paired with CAM modules but luckily they are not forcibly replacing legacy CI CAM modules with CI+ ones).

 

To use it in TV obviously I would have to insert smartcard into CI/CAM module first.

 

I am aboslutely not convinced that these short (like a second-long) droputs are caused by these messages but I noticed some correlatiion between these messages and these droputs so they brought my attention.

 

In such case, can this be that these "unknown cmd" come from OSCAM ? (since I'm not using CI module at all)

What is "DFP" ?
