  • Hi all,


    I have spent too much time with my system making it work. I finaly though i got the whole thing running.
    Since my Smargo was able to decode signals from TvHeadend.


    The problem.
    After about 1 day of working with decoding signals the reader stops working and all i see is:

    2017/02/19 12:15:52 07C21C8E r (reader) CanalDigital [smargo] card initializing error


    I decided to swap to a different Smargo reader (i bought two). Then it started working again like by magic.
    Then after 1 more day this smargo reader stopped working aswell.


    Its going to be expencive if i have to keep a stock of 30 smargo readers for a month :).
    So does anyone have a suggestion why my smargo reader seems to stop working?


    Cheers

    Ok think i found the error.


    Apparently i had two instances of OsCam running one old version and a new one.
    I killed the old process then i was able to contact the reader propperly again.


    I also found that the docoder card i have is not working anymore sooms there is an issue with EMMs and the updates.
    In TVHeadend i have tuners running SAT>IP and CA module connected to OSCAM. I swapped to a new decoder card so its working for now.


    Im just affraid i will not get updates. I use NEWCAMD protocall.
    Also updatecard = true
    and one MUX = true.


    anything im missing ?
