-- change smartcard ecm retry on 1st fail
-- fix for use with dvb epg in win7
==================================================
A brief explanation of the windows 7 bug and fix is in order. Some dvb apps when used with certain epg plugins cause a delay in the network connection when card sharing first tries to connect. The delay is proportional to the amount of epg data stored by the epg plugin. With a full 9 day guide stored, the delay can be as long as 60 seconds before the network will respond. Its actually a windows bug that appeared between the RC and RTM of win 7. Its not our bug, so we cannot really fix it, but this n3xt version has a workaround that eliminates the delay.
For the curious, when an ssl connection is used (such as newcamd uses to encrypt the card share data), and the ssl layer is first initialized, windows scans all the data in the heap. When the epg puts all the data in the heap, ssl scans all that data before the network connection is allowed to complete. The scan time exceeds the timeout time of the card share server.The solution is to initialize the ssl layer before the epg can read in and process the epg data.
