is AFN works on open blackhole latest image with ncam3.5?

I'm using OpenBH-4.1 right now of course AFN now using CSA HW not DES HW so you don't need the latest drivers to open it even old BLACKHOLE image can open it.i

its worked for me now but audio only iam using ncam 3.5 dont know where the problem

Thanx matu2, those keys working perfectly on my Dreambox MD 900 for the afn--TV-Channels. But what are the keys for radio channels?

it's not hard job all you need it's to get the new SIDs (service ID HEX)

for example radio AFN Atlantic Eagle: SID is 0078

P 00090078 00 0123456789ABCD ;AFN Atlantic Eagle (Radio) 9.0E

P 00090078 01 0123456789ABCD ;AFN Atlantic Eagle (Radio) 9.0E

and add them all to SoftCam.Key

AFN Radio channels are not working for me. AFN TV is OK but same OSCAM settings do not allow radio. Maybe something with the way OSCAM-EMU handles PV Audio PIDs?

BTW I tried when it was DES and Stream Relay and also could not get them to work.

Just for my education, why is the Cache Exchange required with VU+ and DM machines (among others?) Can the EMU be adjusted to eliminate this need to use CacheEx?

I think it could be easily fixed anyways if some developer would like to

Its a simple timing issue.

If you block it from your EMU and get it from a peer its fine.

So the best bet for now is to have a chat with a peer and swap. you give it to them and they give it to you. Its sorted then until a patch is released that will allow the user to add a simple delay.

I think best solution for Now to install both Ncam and Oscam

Ncam to open AFN and put cacheex = 1 in emu reader

Oscam for other PowerVu Channels and BISS and others

This is not necessary.

To overcome the problem of other emu channels not working with cacheex enabled, do the following.

1. Create an oscam.services file with:

Code

[afn]
caid                          = 0E00
provid                        = 000000
srvid                         = 0066,0067,0068,0069,006A,006B,006C,006D

(or add to existing file - making sure "afn" does not already exist...)

2. Create a second emu reader. The oscam.server entries should look something like this simplified example:

Code

[reader]
label                         = oscam_emu
protocol                      = emu
device                        = Emulator
caid                          = 0D00&0F00,090F,0500,1801,0604,0648,0D98,0650,0D95,0E00,1FFF,2600
detect                        = cd
ident                         = 0E00:000000,000002;0D00:000000,000004,000010,000014,000020,0000C0,000000,0000CC;0D02:000000,00008C,0000A0,0000A4,0000A
8;0D03:000000,000004,000008,000024,000028;0D05:000004,000010;090F:000000;0500:030B00,023800,007400,007800;1801:000000;0604:000000;0D98:000000;0650:000
000;0D95:000000
group                         = 1
emmcache                      = 1,5,31,1
emu_auproviders               = 0E00:000000
auprovid                      = 000E00
services                      = !afn

[reader]
label                         = AFN
description                   = AFN-EMU
protocol                      = emu
device                        = Emulator
caid                          = 0E00
detect                        = cd
group                         = 1
emmcache                      = 1,5,31,1
emu_auproviders               = 0E00:000000
auprovid                      = 000E00
cacheex                       = 1
cacheex_maxhop                = 1
cacheex_allow_request         = 1
services                      = afn

The last line for each reader specifies to either use or not use the afn services.

This can also all be done through the webif...

Note: Some boxes/images do not need the cacheex enabled. So this is ONLY for boxes/images which need cacheex enabled in order for the afn channels to clear.

Note 2: This method also works for tvheadend...

Note 3: If you have some other powervu channels which use the same srvid as one of the afn channels, they will probably not work. (thanks to nautilus7 for reminder...)

thanks sir. yes is true if the same srvid is use by two difference channels from difference provider one of the channels will not work, like afn movie and mtn sports 24 both used 006d after I remove this from afn service sports 24 clear, so I don't know what be the solution for this.

Thanks for the info. The CacheEx is the simplest answer for me until a patch is provide by the Devs.

@Devs: Thanks for all the work you are putting into this project, it is very much appreciated.

Did some more testing with the AFN Radio channels (27 channels) and got the following:

1 channel had audio

All other channels there is no audio

First time I tried I got the icon for some of the stations in the middle of the screen but no audio.

Tried it again after a reboot and no more icons coming up at all and still no audio

Noticed that for all AFN channels there is always only 1 audio channel (is this normal?)

If anyone gets this working it would be great for you to share the settings as I am out of ideas.

I'm using OpenBH-4.1 right now of course AFN now using CSA HW not DES HW so you don't need the latest drivers to open it even old BLACKHOLE image can open it.i

its worked for me now but audio only iam using ncam 3.5 dont know where the problem

you have to use fix provided by joeuser for now

Is this fix will work on ncam ?

yes but make sure streamrelay in ncam.conf is disable like this:

[streamrelay]

stream_relay_enabled = 0

and make sure API for extended CWs is OE2.2 also in ncam.conf under [dvbapi] section. like this:

[dvbapi]

enabled = 1

au = 1

pmt_mode = 0

delayer = 60

user = linuxsatsupport

read_sdt = 1

write_sdt_prov = 1

extended_cw_api = 1

boxtype = dreambox

like this mate?

Just a heads up on UA/EMM:

All my AFN channels had stopped working overnight,

OScam-WebIf was indicating:

"rejected group (X ms) (no matching reader)"

From my experience, that message is usually a "Lie"

& is most commonly caused when there has been a Key Change

i.e. the SoftCam.Key file no longer contains the correct key.

It took me a while to figure out what the issue was, in this instance;

An UA/EMM caused Wrong/FAKE Keys to be added to the end of the SoftCam.Key file

P A75F 0057xx0F 2C28xxxxxxF63D was the culprit:

(I'm using "x" to hide some info)

Some entries that were automatically added to end of SoftCam.Key file:

P A75F0066 00 919Axxxxxx9E86 ; added by OSEmu Sat Dec 16 02:41:02 2017 UA: 0057xx0F

P A75F0066 01 8033xxxxxxBEA4 ; added by OSEmu Sat Dec 16 02:41:02 2017 UA: 0057xx0F

Is this deliberate, or just a glitch?

Got channels back again by deleting the relevant lines from end-of-file & re-starting oscam-emu

In the meantime I've excluded that particular UA/EMM (to prevent re-occurrence) as follows:

;P A75F 0057xx0F 2C28xxxxxxF63D

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Note for Newbies

[I'm new to Linux based boxes myself, but did a lot of work in the past with SL-65 STBs]:

"0066" is the ProvID for AFN Prime Atlantic

"A75F" is the GroupID that I use for all of the AFN channels

It can be ANY FOUR HEX digits;

& Must be the same four for all channels in the Group (that use the same key for decryption).

Other Groups must have different GroupIDs.

There are 16 HEX Digits as follows

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F

ALL Letters after F (eg: G or P or X) are Invalid

yes like this don't forget to disable Stream Relay like this

a057b3fa.png

if all this does not works maybe you need to change Max pids for extended CWs from 8 to 64

i have made this on obh image and didnot work audio only no video so change to bh latest image and same problem i use ncam 3.5 may be this the problem cause itsnot official release?

Working for me using Vu Solo2 - Open ATV - Oscam 11392

anyone got success with dm800 n what emu and config . i tried everything on openpli4 with ncam gcam and oscam-emu. if a working config file or a backup of dm800 84d will be highly appreciable.
