My OSCAM VPS server does not seem to receive and send any ECM

Hello dear friends! I need help, please.

I am experiencing a very weird problem with my OScam VPs server, running build 11537 on Ubuntu 18 x86_64.

The problem seems to affect all lines (cs378x, cs378x cacheex and also cccam raeders and users).

For instance, the CCcam readers show no sign of activity (despite the fact that they are connected and have entitlement cards) and in the readers page they always report as 0 ECM

Still, if I test from my local box a direct c line to my Oscam server, excluding all other readers I get no picture and "not found" in the log.

I think this is odd as, assuming my VPS Oscam has the entitlements to decode a specific CAID and the user is requested that specific channel belonging to the same CAI it should just work...

In the same way, my cacheex cs378x mode 2 peers seem to be exchanging fine (I can see the numbers in cacheex section growing for both push and got) but there is no hit whatsoever :(

This is the configuration I have on my OScam VPS server:

and the user feeding to my local box is set up like this in my Oscam VPS

and last but not least, the Oscam reader from my local box to my Oscam VPS is like this:

[reader]

label = MY_OSCAM_CCCAM

description = My OScam cccam

enable = 0

protocol = cccam

device = host,port

user = blablauser

password = blablapassword

cccversion = 2.3.0

Many thanks for anyone who sheds some light on why my Oscam VPS server does not exchange at all.

Hi.

If you check the LiveLOG record via Oscam-Webif, you will surely find out why it doesn't work. Check the clients as well as the server. Surely there will be a listing why it doesn't work.

BTW, your network connections are OK ? If you also use an external connection behind the router, are the ports allowed and routed on your router ?

Thanks for your answer.

Without me touching anything it's now been a good couple of hours that my VPS OScam has started working, although still in a strange fashion.

My user dedicated to my decoder shows that it consumes more than 1000 ecm in the last 60 seconds. This is impossible as my local box is not shared with any other users that could generate a high number of requests.

With an average of one ECM requested every 10 seconds, it can't be any higher than about 6-10 ECMS per minute, maximum.

From 10 to over 1000 there is obvioulsy something terribly wrong!

It seems like the Oscam VPS stats are totally wrong, and not by little. That's very odd!

The box has a direct connection to the Internet, I also tried making it a DMXZ host to see if I had any firewall issues but it didn't make any difference.
