In OSCam, the oscam.dvbapi file is used to manage and control the behavior of OSCam with DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) devices. It primarily facilitates the mapping and handling of CAIDs (Conditional Access Identifiers), services, and priorities for decoding encrypted TV channels.

Here’s an overview of what oscam.dvbapi does:

Key Functions of oscam.dvbapi:

1. CAID Management:
   • It determines which Conditional Access Systems (CAS) should be used for specific channels or transponders.
   • For example, specifying CAIDs ensures OSCam tries to decode channels using a compatible encryption system.
2. Service Mapping:
   • Maps specific services (channels) to a particular CAID or reader, helping OSCam prioritize the correct card or source for decoding.
3. Priority Settings:
   • Allows setting priorities for CAIDs, readers, and services. For example:
     • Prioritize one CAID over another.
     • Specify fallback options if the preferred method is unavailable.
4. Exclude or Ignore Services:
   • You can exclude specific services, channels, or CAIDs from being processed or attempted for decryption.
5. Filtering:
   • Filters the channels and transponders OSCam should handle, helping to improve efficiency by skipping unnecessary services.
6. Multi-Reader Setup:
   • Helps in configurations where multiple readers (e.g., multiple smartcards or servers) are available. It ensures the most efficient reader is chosen for decoding a specific channel.
