Mgcamd / oscam / cccam question

Hi All,
I have moved my post to here as I have had no replies so far, maybe it should have been here in the first place. Hope this is ok.

At the moment I have a server running ubunti 12.04.5 with oscam reading a card and cccam sharing. I have been told because of some issues that it would be better if I used mgcamd as the client softcam. Is there any straight forward changes that I can make to my server setup to achieve this. Maybe its just an addition of a line in my oscam / cccam that is needed.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks MasterG,
So to get started I need to get rid of cccam on my server. Do I just hash out the cccam cfg file lines or uninstall cccam completely. I take it that I need some line that ties mgcamd to oscam like the one that I have presently in my oscam/cccam setup. I will need help with the N / CWS line as its new to me.
Thanks in advance for your help. I am on a new learning curve.

Just wondering if I could leave cccam running but give the client boxes a choice of opening in mgcamd or cccam.

Thanks for getting back to me once again MasterG.
I will give your instructions a go in the next day or two and report back.

Cheers.

Just wondering if I get rid of cccam and follow your instructions is my original server 'Listen Port' now redundant or do I retain it and add another port for newcamd.
Hope this is not too silly a question.

To clarify.
The mgcamd and the newcamd ports will now be the same. I open this port on my router also. The original listen port that I used for my cccam I can retain. I delete the cccam.cfg file from my server.

Thanks bud,
I will give it a go tomorrow evening. Keep you posted.

Hi MasterG,
Almost there. Set as instructed in the above posts and now can view pics in mgcamd and newcamd, however when I try to view in cccam my test receiver ( opticum X7 ) shows that I am connected but I get not pics. Any ideas before I post my configs.

Any ideas anyone please

The x7 is on a different network. My original listen port for cccam I have retained and I made a new port for oscam / mgcamd. This new port I checked with port checker and it came up as OK. The X7 give me a green light for both ports and displays pics from both newcamd and mgcamd but when I change settings on X7 for the cccam I get no pics. I will double check later and note what the X7 says exactly and post here. It might throw some light on the situation. The server at this stage has the original cccam config removed.
Thanks again.

Hi MasterG,
Got sorted out ok. On closer examination I found that for some reason my oscam text files had one or two characters misplaced. I was using a notepad in ubuntu and am getting used to it at the moment. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. It's not the first time.
Keep up the good work.

Is the opticum x7 on the same network as the server or connecting externally ? If internal, are you using the ip address of the server on the c line instead of hostname ? If external, did you go to canyouseeme.org and check the cccam port is open ?

On your server you have cccam configured in oscam.conf:

Code

[cccam]
port = 10002
version = 2.1.3
build = 3165
keepalive=1

And an account setup for the opticum x7:

Code

[account]
description = opticum x7
user  = opticum.user
pwd = opticum.password
group = 1

You now have a c line for the opticum x7.
Connecting internally (192.168.1.87 is the ip address of the server):

Code

C: 192.168.1.87 10002 opticum.user opticum.password

Connecting externally (10002 must be open in the router):

Code

C: my.hostname.org 10002 opticum.user opticum.password

Hi MasterG,
There is one thing puzzling me a bit. On the oscam dashboard the cccam user that I setup in oscam.conf shows up as online and is in green, however after about half a minunite it changes to yellow and says connected. There are also no statistics in the ecm panels. I can open my stb and view channels in oscam, cccam and mgcamd ok. If I web browse into cccam it shows zero active and zero connected clients. My active box in cccam is displayed on the oscam dashboard.

Hi MasterG,
I have all the above configs setup ok and I can see pics in cccam, oscam and mgcamd ok. However in the oscam webif dashboard the the cccam that I configured in oscam.confg is displayed in green for about 20 secs and then turns yellow. Is this normal. I compared it with a friends and his remains green and online 100% of the time.

Hi MasterG
Here is my screen shot. The first two users are what I setup in oscam and tied them to cccam with an N line 127.0.0.1 etc etc, and 192.168.1.201 etc etc ( server ip ). They turn green and say online for about 30 secs after that then go yellow. Both oscam and cccam clients are displayed on the webif as you can see, however when I browse into cccam it displays zero clients connected. My mate says that these users should be green as is the case on his server.483b66136ce3c479a28a8b93.jpg
