We are looking for people owning a CI module, and people using a softcam with a local smartcard (should be everyone!) to test the offline decoding capability of all OpenPLi supported hardware.

To test, do the following:

1. Stop the softcam, and remove all CI modules from the box
2. Make a short test recording from an encoded channel that uses a smartcard, using a timer, with Recording type "don't descramble, record ECM"
3. When done, do the same, but then from an encoded channel that uses the CI module
4. In case you have a smartcard that works in both a CI and with a softcam, one recording is enough.

Now play back the recording(s), to make sure your screen stays black.

1. Start your softcam again, make sure the smartcard is operational, and play the first recording back again.
2. If you now have an image, your box supports offline decoding via the softcam.
3. Stop the softcam again, insert the CI module with the smartcard, and play back the second recording.
4. If you now have an image, your box supports offline decoding via de CI.
