Oscam stops processing requests - CCCAM is culprit

[Ian Hutty]

Revision

r11380

Issue Description

Oscam r11380, 11379,11378 (and possibly many before) stops processing requests by clients when connecting using cccam protocol.

When the issue occurs

When the system is fully configured, working, and no changes are made, the fault appears within around 72 hours of running. It is fair to say the fault does NOT appear within the first 24 hours of continued operation.

Please not that normal client use is switching from FTA channels and back. Therefore this issue may start during idle periods.

How the issue is reproducable

I downloaded the svn source for both r1179 & r1180, compiled and copied known working config files to start Oscam working.

All working ok at this point.

Within 72 hours the cccam component stops servicing requests from clients. Nothing is logged to show this is the case despite turning up the logging levels.

To verify that the fault is with CCCAM within OSCAM, i confgured my client to use a different protocol (having not reboot oscam or restarted it). I configured my client start using newcamd. Once I did that everything works as it should. Switching back to cccam results in requests to Oscam not being serviced.
