  • Hi


    I have a zgemma h52s running oscam Build: r11401. when powervu encrypted channel playing below error appears


    Code
    (dvbapi) ERROR: ioctl(CA_SET_DESCR_MODE): Invalid argument
    (dvbapi) ERROR: ioctl(CA_SET_DESCR): Invalid argument

    any idea why this error appear?


    channel is playing fine




    Regards

  • In oscam.conf [dvbapi] try changing extended_cw_api = to 0 or 1 or 2

    extended_cw_api = 0

    (dvbapi) ERROR: ioctl(CA_SET_DESCR): Invalid argument

    only above line repeating


    extended_cw_api = 1 below lines repeating

  • Hello,

    I have the same error on Vu+ Solo2 and I couldn't found any explanation or solution for it. If I change extended_cw_api to any other value aside from 1 then I have no image. This error only occurs on Discovery package. I guess what is important is that the channels are working even with this error in background.

  • This only applies to PowerVUs + OscamEmu only ! But you can try it ... maybe it will help.


    Disable Stream Relay through the Oscam WebIf:


    Oscam WebIf > Config > Stream Relay >

    Mode 0 - to disable (use the direct DVB-Api decryption)


    ...or directly via the "oscam.conf" file by adding this new entry:

    Code
    [streamrelay]
    stream_relay_enabled = 0


    Select the correct DVB-Api extended CW API:


    Oscam Webif > Config > DVB-Api > API for extended CWs >

    select number 1 - for OE 2.2+ (OpenDreambox, Dream Elite 6.0, Dreambox OS, etc.)

    select number 2 - for OE 2.0 (OpenATV, OpenPLi, OpenHDF, etc.)


    ...or directly via the "oscam.conf" file by adding this new entry:

    Code
    [dvbapi]
    extended_cw_api = 2
