I have Afn (9e) and Sis (4,8e) working without problems for a long time on my Dreambox 900 with OpeanAtv 6.4 image.
Today, without having made any changes, I have a problem:

- I start the box in an Afn channel and it works fine. I switch to a Sis channel and this is working too. If I go back to the AFN channel I have a black screen and on Oscam I have:

2023/08/12 15:23:29 34889499 c (ecm) dvbapiau (0E00@000000/0000/006B/99:98DF27DDF3301152F70160E91D03585F): cache3 (6 ms) by AFN (C/1/2/2) - AFN

If I change to a channel with a different encoding and go back to Afn I get the image again but always with the same message in the Oscam live log.

Any solution?

Thanks!!

try change extended_cw_api

The problem seems to be related to that. I have:
extended_cw_api = 1

If I change it (I tried from 0 to 10) the Afn problem is solved but in Sis I get a black screen (without any strange message in the Live Log)

0 - none
1 - OE2.2
2 - OE2.0

after change - init 6 or reboot
I try it again (with reboot this time):
1. it is the one I originally have and it gives me the error I describe in the first post
0 or 2 - Woks ok on Afn but gives me a black screen on Sis

DM does not switch from CSA to DES in OE2.0 (OpenATV)

What is strange for me is i never had this problem until today and i do not change anything on the box!!

What can be the cause for: ERROR: ioctl(CA_SET_DESCR_MODE): Invalid argument?
