the way it works under windows (multidec plugin) is not possible at the level of vdr, it requres special support by the driver. (in multidec, driver and vdr-like app is the same program, no driver/user level separated - but windows is not OS, there is possible to do such messy things) the softcam dll creates raw DVB card commands, and sends it to the card, through multidec (it does only passthrough). the way it works is simple, it needs the code stream as input, and it gives card commands as output. so it is possible to use under linux (either having the source of the dll (afaik it's closed) or using some dll loader from wine/mplayer) in _theory_. in practise, it requires driver tweaking and some other hacking, and to know the exact format of in/out parameters of the dll. anyway i agree with everyone here, this is not the right list (better: this is VERY BAD list) for this topic. we shouldn't show any relation between illegal things and linux dvb support. ok? btw don't give up. i know someone who knows someone whose grandmam is working on such "feature" :) so be patient and keep your eyes on the "bad forums". and stop such postings here!
