How to get the ECM info and CAIDs for channels with dvbsnoop in Merlin3+gp3.2?

[jalizi]

Hello

How to get the ECM info and CAIDs for channels with dvbsnoop ?

Some are suggested that I should run the following command in telnet. But when I run it nothing happens:

dvbsnoop -n 1 -nph 1 | grep CA_system_ID | awk -F "(" '{print $2}' | awk -F ")" '{print $1}'

Some have suggested the following command:

dvbsnoop -n 1 -nph 1

When I run it, a series of information be appears but ECM info and CAIDs did not appear.

Regards

I mean when the ECM info of a channel with CW (BISS) coding system is changed, how to gain the new ECM ?
The first command works only for pay TV, NOT FOR a channel with CW (BISS) coding system.

No ecm ecm fake cw prc id

No ecm ecm fake cw prc id

I did not understand what you mean. Please explain more.

for example, the ECM info of IRIB Varzesh (26.0°E) changed from 1FFF to 0A28, so for several days I was looking for a new ECM.

when the ECM info of a channel with CW (BISS) coding system is changed, how to gain the new ECM ?

To record the PowerVU EMM/ECM

dvbsnoop -b 0x005a > pv.bin

This will log in binary mode the powervu PID that logs the EMM/ECMS and write it to file pv.bin

Now you will tell him how to stop it,right?

First day you know about dvbsnoop,and you try to help others to use it,but there is one problem : you tell him how to start it but not how to stop it.

You must use a limit in that command or dvbsnoop will run endlessly.
Use time option of numbers of packets you want to log.

For example use
dvbsnoop -n 1000
This option will log 1000 packets,and then dvbsnoop will stop.
Now add it to your command to make sure dvbsnoop stops.
You must also make sure about how many packets are enough for you,1000 maybe too small,or really really big,only you know how much you need to log.

Hey, at least I'm trying to help people.. This post was posted over a year ago, and NO ONE bothers to respond.. At least my post got the answer out there, and you added to it.. Great... You don't need to be smug.

As for exiting... Control-C works just fine to exit the logging. A certain packet size is useless for me, as some would take forever to generate 1000 packets and others will generate it quite quickly. I watch the file size, and when it hit the size i wanted, i hit control-c and exited the dvbsnoop.

Right then to log ecm from putty or telnet terminal using user root and ur pwd

Second, retrieve the PID PMT hex value from Webif or converting the PID PMT from Kingofsat for the given channel. For example, on Hispasat 30° West, for TVE International, it is 0331 (HEX) value in DEC is 817 as show on Webif PID PMT 817 (0331)

dvbsnoop will display list of MPEG-DescriptorTag = Ca_descriptor according to the number of accesses control available (simulcrypt often)

In TVE International case, only one block is displayed as followed

MPEG-DescriptorTag: 9 (0x09) [= CA_descriptor]
descriptor_length: 4 (0x04)
CA_system_ID: 6146 (0x1802) [= Kudelski SA]
reserved: 7 (0x07)
CA_PID: 578 (0x0242)

Third, retrieve the the hex ca_pid value. In that case, 0x0242

Four, type in dvbsnoop -n 1 -ph 2 0x0242 where -n indicates the number of ECMs to be displayed, -ph ecm log format

Example of ECM log

81 30 66 52 21 (PROVID > NOS TV) 00 07
5c (LEN/LL) 00 6a 5a cd a2 f7 45 b5 59 7e 19 ff d6 0c 1f b7 45 54 00 1d 3a c9 b8 cb c6 1e 7b fb fe 46 6f 16 65 bd bc fc f8 6e bf 14 2d b8 34 71 73 aa d0 0c 04 ea f7 37 96 46 f4 e8 99 28 d2 62 8f 5b 49 eb a4 a7 98 bc 05 35 ef f0 b9 94 55 e8 6e 25 1d f0 02 10 6b 48 e7 7e 32 c1 4b 01 ea 13 0b 03 00 00 80

As a reminder, dvbsnoop -help

dvbsnoop - a dvb/mpeg2 stream analyzer tool

This is a modified version of dvbsnoop, see https://github.com/Duckbox-Developers/dvbsnoop for more info.

Usage: dvbsnoop [opts] pid
Options:
-s type: snoop type or mode <type> [-s sec]
stream type: sec, pes, ps or ts
or special scan type:
pidscan = transponder pid scan,
bandwidth = data rate statistics for pid
signal = signal rate statistics
feinfo = frontend information
stream type or pidscan
-demux device: demux device [/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0]

For the EMM log, it is quite the same. Only take the CA_PID value. Here 588 > DEC 024C > HEX
