Not an issue, just fyi / possible improvent: icam with Oscam extended cw api #148

Not an issue, but just wanted to let you know something regarding icam:

When activating extended cw api option in recent oscam version (you need to build with EXTENDED_CW_API option and then also in dvbapi section), a new decrypt method was added (CW_ALGO_CSA_ALT) This will be active in stead of CW_ALGO_CSA if icam is needed (atm only for German Sky, as I was not able to test for other providers) and could be used for selecting correct algo.

See oscam commit https://git.streamboard.tv/common/oscam/-/commit/c80c8a3ab03dfa2d6210b55c574e5a0bb8e38d75

Would not really change anything, is just about filosophy if you want to keep all ecm stuff in oscam or prefer to manage yourself (not sure e.g. if you also only support German icam).

Was tested btw to be ok with patched dvbapinet / ffdecsa for use in combination with dvbviewer on Windows (Sky Germany only).

Maybe I even check if for fun I can get this to run with this, never tried vdr, I might give it a shot.

First I will profit from this project to check if I can get libdvbcsa to work with dvbapinet. EDIT getting libdvbcsa built for Windows will aready be fun :(

And thanks for all the geat work!
