Oscam Files

Hi,

I have a Xtrend 8000 running Openvix and currently using mgcamd which works OK but I have to restart the cam in softcam manager every time I put my box into standby mode which is obviously not good.

I am told oscam may be a better way to go but need a little assistance on setting this up.

I have downloaded a version of Oscam directly from the plugins menu in Openvix.

Could someone please advise what files I need and where they should go?

Am I right in saying I need to have the 3 files listed below saved into etc>tuxbox>config? Do I also need to save the oscam.dvbapi file in this location?

oscam.user
oscam.conf
oscam.server

Also, where do i get these files? I know how to get the oscam.server file but not sure on the others.

Are there any pre-formatted oscam downloads available for Openvix with all the files already there or do i need to download these individually from somewhere?

When I downloaded oscam for my Wetek all the files were already there I just needed to change the oscam.server file.

Brilliant mate thanks, exactly the info i was after.

One question, have you given me two options above?

Option 1 - Install ipk file and add [reader] to oscam.server
Option 2 - Download .rar file and add oscam.conf and oscam.user into /etc/tuxbox/config folder and also save oscam.server file into same folder

Or do I need to do both?

Appreciate that mate

I've downloaded the ipk file and transferred this and my oscam.server file into /etc/tuxbox/config folder but not having any joy... Any suggestions please?

I tried the second option and got that working but it was freezing every few minutes so wanted to try the ipk file to see if that better.

sorry to interfere but with mgcam on panel softcam u have option autocam enable it and try to put stanby shud ok

I've tried that mate it doesn't work. I still have to restart mgcamd after leaving the box on standby for a while.

Strangely enough it doesn't happen all of the time only sometimes.

I was using CCcam before mgcamd and that never had to be restarted.

That screenshot doesn`t tell us anything, you need to show us an oscam log when the channels freeze..

The problem I am having at the moment is actually getting oscam to work using the ipk file method.

I have downloaded the ipk file and ftp this to tuxbox>config and also copied my oscam.server file into tuxbox>config but nothing happens when I start oscam in the softcam menu. I restarted the box and GUI a number of times and stopped and started oscam but picture remains black.

I was able to get oscam working by trying the other method you sent me by saving the oscam.user and oscam.conf files into tuxbox>config and also my oscam.server file but I was getting huge amounts of freezing so I wanted to try the ipk file method to see was this any better.

I was sure I did everything right but there maybe something obvious I am doing wrong?

The ipk goes in /tmp not /etc/tuxbox/config

Send ipk to tmp > blue button > vix > install local extension > /tmp > follow on screen instructions.

[How To] Install an ipk file on any enigma2 receiver

Apologies I did not explain correctly... I have done this with the ipk file, i.e. Send ipk to tmp > blue button > vix > install local extension > /tmp > follow on screen instructions.

All of the oscam. files then appeared in /etc/tuxbox/config after I ftp'd my oscam.server file from my laptop to into /etc/tuxbox/config.

However, when I started oscam in softcam menu nothing happened..?

have u check attribut have to be755

No I did not, how do i check that?

Quote from master G

You don`t need to check attributes if you used the ipk.. Look at the oscam web interface to see if the server is connected properly, show us a log from there after the channel freezes. Without the log its a guessing game buddy..

I would have thought the oscam.server file is fine because it worked when I got oscam working using "option 2" I have mentioned above.

Am I right to have all of the files listed below in /etc/tuxbox/config?

oscam.conf
oscam.dvbapi
oscam.provid
oscam.server
oscam.services
oscam.srvid
oscam.user

The reason I asked is becuase when I got oscam working with “option 2” the only files in /etc/tuxbox/config were the two files you shared with me (below) plus my oscam.server file, i.e.

oscam.conf
oscam.user

After deleting oscam and starting fresh with the ipk file method and still wont work for me. As far as I can see ive done everything right.

What I did this time was:

1. Send ipk to tmp > blue button > vix > install local extension > /tmp > ipk file

2. Accessed oscam through IP Address:8888

3. Changed oscam.server to my settings

4. Restarted oscam

Still nothing...?

Any suggestions please?

Would you have an alternative ipk file I could try?

Any ideas lads?
