[SOFTCAM] NCAM 15.7

– Resolve ‘Loadbalancer – fallback adjustment’
* Allow lb_nfb_readers to be set to zero (previously minimum was 1). This means you can configure the system to have no fallback readers if desired.
* If only one reader matches and double_check is enabled (and the CAID matches), the patch forces a fallback check by setting force_reopen = 1.

– Use fixed-width 64-bit integer format macros
* Use fixed-width 64-bit integer format macros
Replaced all hardcoded %lld format specifiers with the portable
inttypes.h macros PRId64 (for printing) and SCNd64 (for scanning).
This ensures correct 64-bit integer handling across 32-bit and
64-bit systems, improves cross-platform compatibility, and avoids
potential issues with long long size differences on various compilers
or architectures.

scheduling to execute NCam web interface URLs automatically without external dependencies. Jobs are defined in task.cfg using simple format.
– streamrelay: improve ecm_mode handling
* add get_ecm_mode() inline function to extract the lower nibble from
last ECM byte for VideoGuard CAIDs

– dvbapi: fix listen_port not showing up in webif config after restart
The configured listen_port value was reset to 0 in dvbapi_detect_api()
for incompatible boxtypes, which caused the webif to show an empty field
after restart even though the value was correctly saved in oscam.conf.
Introduce separate runtime variable dvbapi_listenport_active for the
actual port used by dvbapi logic, preserving cfg.dvbapi_listenport for
config storage and webif display. (Cherry from oscam source)

set-top boxes and media players that use the native amlogic smartcard driver which exposes /dev/smc0. (thx rozpruwacz)
Changes:
– CMakeLists.txt: add amlogic cross-compile target and USE_AMSMC flag
– Makefile: add ifd_amsmc.c to build, help text and example
– config.h: add CARDREADER_INTERNAL_AMSMC preprocessor logic

– fix: security crash guard – Harden DVBAPI filter handling: require a valid curpid before touching ECM fields and abort section-filter setup when the demux PID lookup fails, preventing null-pointer crashes. – WebIF robustness sweep: gate every popen/fopen/access use and preserve pointer assignments so the UI now reports missing scripts/files instead of dereferencing null handles. – Reader safety: add missing allocation checks in Conax/DRE code paths and keep Nagra readers’ csystem_data alive after failed init to avoid double-free crashes. – Crash/diagnostics fixes: protect cs_dumpstack()/detect_valgrind() against failed file opens and clamp the CoolAPI status lookup to stay inside the cnxt_status[] table.

– build: fix is_defined.txt generation for proper webif template filtering
The is_defined.txt file is used by pages_gen to filter templates based on enabled config options. Previously, this file was only created when explicitly calling config.sh with –enable/–disable/–restore, but not during normal builds.
The ‘webif clean’ added in 96debcd7 (‘Fix webif compression parameter’) ensured pages.c was always rebuilt, but also deleted is_defined.txt which broke the filtering mechanism.
Changes:
– Call write_enabled() in make_config_mak() to ensure is_defined.txt is generated on every build
– Remove redundant ‘webif clean’ from Makefile and CMakeLists.txt (write_enabled already deletes pages.c when needed)
– Add config.h dependency to pages.c target to trigger rebuild when config options change
This ensures proper filtering works for:
– Fresh checkouts with default config
– Builds after direct config.h modifications
– Builds after config.sh –enable/–disable changes

– webif: fix PCSC devices not shown on scanusb.html
The write_enabled() function generates is_defined.txt which pages_gen
uses to filter templates based on enabled config options. However, it
only wrote config.h defines and missed USE_FLAG based card readers.
CARDREADER_PCSC is controlled via USE_PCSC flag passed at build time,
not a config.h define. Since it was never written to is_defined.txt,
pages_gen filtered out scanusb_pcscbit.html template, causing PCSC
devices to not appear on scanusb.html.
Fixes regression introduced in 9a5d4d0

– dvbapi: remove obsolete dvbapi config options
Remove deprecated [dvbapi] section options that have been obsolete for over 10 years:
– priority
– ignore
– cw_delay
These options were migrated to oscam.dvbapi file long ago.
Remove dvbapi_caidtab_fn() function and related extern declaration
as they are no longer needed.
Users with ancient configs will now see ‘unknown setting’ warnings,
prompting them to migrate to oscam.dvbapi.

– reader: add maxparallel feature to limit simultaneous services per reader
This feature allows limiting the number of services that can use a reader
simultaneously, essential for card readers with slot restrictions.
=== NEW CONFIGURATION OPTIONS ===
maxparallel (default: 0 = unlimited)
Maximum number of active services per reader. When reached, the reader
is skipped and other readers are tried (fallover).
paralleltimeout (default: 1000 ms)
Buffer added to the measured ECM interval for slot expiration.
A slot expires when no ECM is received within (measured_interval + timeout).
parallelfactor (default: 1.5)
Multiplier for pending slots to support zapping without blackscreen.
Set to 0 to disable pending slots (strict maxparallel enforcement).
=== ARCHITECTURE ===
Dual-slot system with active and pending services:
– Active slots (size: maxparallel)
Confirmed services actively receiving CWs from this reader.
– Pending slots (size: maxparallel * parallelfactor)
Temporary overflow during channel zapping. Pending services are
promoted to active when slots free up (FIFO), or dropped when
active services need the capacity.
Slot reservation timing:
Slots are reserved when a reader DELIVERS a CW, not when the request
is sent. This prevents readers from blocking capacity for services
they don’t end up serving when multiple readers are queried in parallel.
=== BLOCKLIST FOR CLEAN FALLOVER ===
When a pending service is dropped, the client+service combination is
added to a per-reader blocklist. This causes:
– Subsequent ECM requests for blocked combinations to skip this reader
– Clean fallover to other readers without repeated drop cycles
– No log spam from services repeatedly going to pending and getting dropped
Blocklist lifecycle:
– Added: when service is dropped from pending
– Removed: when client zaps to a different service
– Cleared: when an active slot becomes free
=== TYPICAL USE CASE ===
– Reader 1: maxparallel=1 (card allows only 1 service)
– Receiver records Service A on Reader 1, user zaps to Service B
– Service B goes to pending slot (no blackscreen during zap)
– Service A sends ECM -> Service B dropped from pending
– Service B blocklisted on Reader 1 -> falls over to Reader 2
– User stops Service B -> block cleared, Reader 1 available again

– dvbapi: use SERVICE_TYPE_MASK descriptor to fix CW delivery for shared services
When stream_write_cw() successfully delivers a CW to a stream client,
it returns true and prevents the same CW from being written via the
CA device (ioctl/netsend). This exclusive routing causes a CW gap
on demuxers that require CA device delivery until the next cw cycle,
because stream_write_cw() consumes the CW before the stream client
has fully disconnected.
Parse the SERVICE_TYPE_MASK descriptor (0x85) from the CA PMT to
identify whether a demux serves a stream client (type 7/8) or requires
direct CA device or netsend descrambling. For demuxers that require
CA device or netsend delivery, always write the CW via dvbapi_write_cw
regardless of whether stream_write_cw() consumed it. For stream-only
demuxers and clients that don’t send descriptor 0x85, preserve the
original exclusive behavior.
