Oscam emu strange powervu behaviour

I have a Venton Unibox HD1 plus decoder with an updated openatv 6.2 image.

I installed the last oscam-emu which has some troubles with AFN channels.

If I'm watching a channel (either FTA or an encrypted channel descrambled correctly with a local card) then I select an AFN channel, the descrambling starts and works correctly. If I change to another AFN channel the video turns black but the audio works correctly. The Oscam log tells me "ECM found" even with blank screen and working audio. Often if I select an FTA channel or another channel handled by a local card then I go back to the AFN channel that before had no video, then it starts to work again.

here is attached a 128 log focused (I hope in the right moment) when I change from a working channel to a powervu AFN channel which blanks video

Could you plug this in at the bottom of your keys file and see what happens?
AFN's been on and channels come in immediately when changed. This is from 99W. Oscam 11523 latest.

I will be able to do that this evening. I'll let you know, thank you.

I appended your keys at the end of file, no way. Same problem...

I'm sorry. I don't know enough about the config files to help you further.
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can assist.
Could you post them here?

your emu reader is missing from your configs above compare it to mine below, i have no such issues with AFN

rockerduck your log in not good. It's very small and does not contain any useful info.

I will need a new log with debug 128. Set initial debug level to 128 and log size to 3000KB. Then restart oscam and do the whatever you need to make the problem appear.

Also, try with extended_cw_api set to 1, instead of 2. I am not sure this do any difference though.

Does your receiver open the powervu channels in 0.8W of 4.8E?

Display More

If I try extended_cw_api=1 I get "ERROR: ioctl(CA_SET_DESCR_MODE): Invalid argument"

I cannot try any channel on 0.8W or 4.8E since my dish is not pointed to those sats.

Here is attached the log with the errors. (I got the video working only a couple of times switching back from other working channels)

afn reader is active... and you have different user , active user is venton but on oscam.conf is user = pippo..

I know, that was an old oscam.conf file, now user is venton everywhere. I configured everything from scratch few days ago.

Quote from medousa89

and with last changes on openatv the path of oscam-emu is /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu

(emu) Key file not found in: /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu

and you use the old path /var/keys

(emu) Reading key file: /var/keys/SoftCam.Key

yes it looks for the keyfile in both paths. it works if found in one of them...

Quote from nautilus7

I don't see anything wrong in the log.

oscam seems to descramble both audio and video every time you tune to an afn channel.

I'll post a video showing the problem as soon as I can...

Quote from nautilus7

A video will not help either...

Can you tell which channel change in your last log triggered the issue?

Can you also try this: Change channels until you get again a blank screen (no video) with AFN.

At that point start a recording for that channel with no video. Does the recorded file play with video on a PC?

In my last log Oscam started with AFN Sport with audio but no video. Then around 18:13:57 I switched to RAI1 HD (local card) and got video and audio. Then Swiched again to AFN (18:14:15) and got video and audio. Then I switched to other afn channels and lose video at some point, I don't remember exactly when.

This evening I will try your advices and then post a log with a comment for every channel changing.
