  • i need a bit of help with my oscam config because i want to swap my client boxes (around the house) from using cccam to oscam

    My current setup is a Ubuntu server running oscam -r9584 with a white card. i share my card around the house using cccam with several boxes running openvix using cccam 2.30.

    i want to swap these boxes cams to oscam. i am not sure how to configure my sever (if anything needs editng), protocols, ports etc, and i am not 100% on the config for oscam on the client boxes (to replace cccam)

    server config

    oscam.conf
    [global]
    logfile = stdout
    nice = -1
    preferlocalcards = 1

    [cache]

    [newcamd]
    port = 10000@0963:000000
    key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxeditiedxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    keepalive = 1
    mgclient = 1

    [cccam]
    port = xxeditedxx
    nodeid = 0A0xxeditedxx011
    version = 2.0.11
    reshare = 0
    reshare_mode = 0
    ignorereshare = 1

    [webif]
    httpport = 9999
    httpuser = xeditx
    httppwd = xeditx
    httprefresh = 15
    #httpallowed = 85.255.235.212,127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0-192.168.254.254
    httpallowed = 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255
    httpdyndns = xxxx edited dns xxxxx

    oscam.user
    [account]
    user = lounge
    pwd = xxxxxxxx
    au = 1
    group = 1


    [account]
    user = bedroom1
    pwd = xxxxx
    group = 1

    oscam.server
    [reader]
    label = skyuk
    protocol = pcsc
    device = 0
    caid = 0963
    detect = cd

    blockemm-u = 0
    blockemm-s = 0
    blockemm-g = 1
    audisbaled = 1

    for my client boxes, how do i set up the oscam.server file to recieve the incoming line from my server?

  • i have run the cccam to oscam convertor and pumped a c: line into it but this hasnt worked when i copy the conversion to oscam.server on my other box.
    i dont actually know if i should be converting a cline, or if i should be taking a different approach.

  • You also need dvbapi enabled in oscam.conf and an account setup for it in oscam.user. I have already done this for you in the attached files.. Just pump the converted c line / [reader] into oscam.server..


    MasterG do you mean those 3 attached oscam files are for my client box?
    does this also mean my server config in post 1 is fine for oscam to oscam?

  • audisbaled : its been a few years since i set up all the config so i cant actually remember why i would activate disable automatic updates.?


    ok, so thanks MasterG i have dropped your oscam files (along with my converted cline in the oscam reader format) onto a client box.


    but when i check its status on my ubuntu server, using the webif i see under USERS, my box is connected by the "cccam" propocol. is this the best protocol to be using? i ask this because the whole point of this excercise for me was to remove the dependancy of cccam from my client boxes. ( i am seeing a few freezes on my white card so it was suggested to update cccam softcam to oscam)
    Is the use of the cccam protocol correct for the oscam softcam on client boxes?

  • Use whatever protocol is handy for you.


    but if i am seeing small freezes on the hour on premium 28e, and to eliminate them i am trying to do away with cccam softcams, (with performance in mind) should i also switch to another protocol and dump cccam or is an alternate protocol like mgcamd not going to offer a significant difference

  • put another way, when using oscam as the client softcam, in terms of which protocol to use for best performance is there much in it between using cccam or mgcamd. ?


    ( i have pretty much got to where i wanted to be in terms of softcam: Ubuntu OSCAM server >> to client OSCAM softcam using cccam protocol, )


    - - - Updated - - -


    I'm seen a few folk with odd hourly freezes that swapping to mgcamd has solved it


    do you mean mgcamd as the client softcam or the protocol (i might be getting confused here)

    • Official Post

    There isn`t much between the protocols as far as i`ve noticed..
    I setup 2 accounts for my own receivers using both CCcam and newcamd protocols..
    I use oscam on my receivers and havn`t noticed any difference in quality between the protocols.. Majority of the time cccam protocol takes priority and is used the most.
    I have noticed CCcam (not cccam protocol in oscam) has started to become more unstable on the latest images..
    So i would suggest using oscam on everything, or use mgcamd on your receivers, not CCcam..

  • thanks for the clarity MasterG. i now have oscam running on my client boxes and i will leave it and see how it performs at the weekend.


    I wonder if its even worth playing with mgcamd, maybe another day. thanks everyone for advice and comments its really helped.
