Help with my cards required please

    I've been using oscam for some years, so far, and it correctly uses either my tivusat or my SRG card, in their slot.

    In the [global] section of oscam.conf, of course, I have


    preferlocalcards = 2


    to avoid the use of the other readers for those providers.

    Then, the other day, I decided to try the new files from post #23. And, because of oscam.dvbapi, it started using readers for some of the tivusat channels (whilst RSI-SRG were always OK, by the card).

    The behaviour was odd because only some of RAI channels, like RaiNews24 HD or RaiScuola HD (and a few others) used the readers; along with them, Some Mediaset HD ones.

    Deleting some lines from oscam.dvbapi (referred to 09CD) some of those channels were "fixed" (meaning they started using the tivusat card) but some others not. To solve the problem and go back to the perfect situation, I had to delete every lines referred to Sk*Italia.


    This is not satisfactory: why the preferlocalcards = 2 has not the priority over something else in order to force tivusat decoding by the smartcard?


    The complete oscam.conf is:


    [global]

    nice = -10

    waitforcards = 1

    preferlocalcards = 2

    logfile = /var/log/oscam.log

    maxlogsize = 500

    reload_readers = 1


    [cccam]

    port = 12000

    nodeid = 6B516F3010DF147E

    version = 2.3.0

    reshare = 1

    stealth = 1


    [dvbapi]

    enabled = 1

    au = 1

    pmt_mode = 0

    user = dvbapi

    boxtype = dreambox


    Thanks.

    This "preferlocalcards" item has a misleading meaning. This is not a preference for the internal reader. This is how Oscam understands the external reader and whether it will prefer the CacheEx source. Unfortunately, the item "preferlocalcards" has its specific meaning:

    http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…cam.conf#preferlocalcards


    The "preferlocalcards" setting is also related to the "lb_weight" / "lb_mode" settings. More info here:

    http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki/OSCam/en/Loadbalancing

    (Please ignore the term LB_WERT which is a translation error from German. There should be the right term LB_WEIGHT.)


    If you want to prefer an internal reader instead of an external reader, simply use "lb_mode" / "lb_weight". First enable this function, via the "lb_mode" entry in the "oscam.conf" file (http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…Config/oscam.conf#lb_mode), and then you can set the weight divider separately "lb_weight" for each of your readers in the "oscam.server" file (http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…ig/oscam.server#lb_weight).


    I have already written about it here:

    Oscam priority


    An alternative would also be to use channel lists in the "oscam.services" file (http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…/en/Config/oscam.services). You can then assign or disable these services for a specific reader in the "oscam.server" file (http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…fig/oscam.server#services) or for a specific user in the "oscam.user" file. To ignore services, put an exclamation mark "!" in front of the service name.
