Newbie questions

  • Hello!

    I have a few general questions.

    I have searched for answers but i don't know how to start or what to choose.

    So i would like from someone with knowledge to let me know!

    The last time i used dvb was a lot of years back with my skystar 1,gbox etc.

    Right now i own a few dvb cards and my goal is to share softcam keys from a server

    to different clients.I don't care about card sharing.

    My first step it to be able to watch channels using a softcam.key.

    I'm going to use a TBS 6903 card.

    a) Do i have to patch the kernel? Do i have to use a specific kernel ?

    b) In order to watch via softcam.key i have heard that oscam is the best solution for server/client architecture.

    c) Do i have to apply any plugins to the players?Xine?Mplayer?Kaffeine?Vdr?

    Any info on vdr for example talks about past kernels and cards.


    Let's say that i have solved this step and i can watch channels via softcam.key.

    In order to share those keys to other pcs with different dvb cards,i must use oscam and configure

    it as a client to my server?And of course i should apply some patch to my players?


    I'm asking for any documentation that could help me achieve my goals.

    Thank you very much!
