Oscam with infinity unlimited usb reader

Hi lads,

Got an issue with my new infinity unlimited usb reader on oscam. Setup: Optiplex 3050 mff pc with debian 32bit, Oscam v11724

Cards reads OK but then when I restart the reader on oscam, it doesn't read again and gives me the below error in the log, and the only way to get it working again is to manually unplug the reader and plug back in.

[mouse] ERROR: Phoenix_Init returns error

My config -

[reader]

label = infinity

protocol = mouse

device = /dev/ttyUSB0

caid = 0B02

detect = cd

mhz = 369

cardmhz = 369

group = 1

I've looked all over the web for a solution to no avail. I know its not a faulty reader has I have 2 more of these unlimited readers and all 3 do the same.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Ste

jenseneverest Thank you very much for your reply but no luck unfortunately:( I already had simplebuild on my debian pc, so I build the latest oscam and still behaving the same. Also, restarting oscam doesn't do anything, as i say the only way to get the reader working again is to manually unplug and plug in again.

I thought I'd share the full picture -

------------------------------

When the reader is disabled on oscam Its almost seems like debain is keeping the usb device in use when it's not?!

No good news unfortunately!

'detect = !cd' in config while still using 'device = /dev/ttyUSB0' just gives the following and does not read the card

'2024/08/24 15:39:51 4F4A6301 r (reader) infinity [mouse] Reader initialized (device=/dev/ttyUSB0, detect=!cd, mhz=369, cardmhz=369)'

-----------------------------------------------------------

root@debian:~# ls /dev/serial/*/*

device = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-WB_Electronics_Infinity_USB_Unlimited-if00-port0

/dev/serial/by-path/pci-0000:00:14.0-usb-0:4:1.0-port0

Using 'detect = !cd' & 'device = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-WB_Electronics_Infinity_USB_Unlimited-if00-port0' just gives the same as above, detects reader but does not read card.

I tried all the different options for card detect that oscam lists in the reader config 'cd (default), cts, dsr, ring, none' all without any success:(

Lastly using 'device = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-WB_Electronics_Infinity_USB_Unlimited-if00-port0' and the default 'detect = cd' behaves same as first post

I'm gonna try oscam on a windows pc......wish me luck!

Well...i've had some success finally :)

Working absolutely fine on oscam x86_64-pc-cygwin verison / Win10 OS. No issues reading the card and most importantly, restarting the reader in oscam!

the device wasn't '/dev/ttyUSB0' and not even USB1, 2 or 3. I had a quick search around and found that I needed to use the unlimited reader software found on the manufacturers website, to put the reader in VCP (Virtual COM Port) mode, and then I was able access it on oscam using 'device = dev/ttyS2'.

I've never used oscam in cygwin enviroment before but hopefully it will work and run the card just as well as in linux.

I will post back again once i've tested it out completely and let you know the results.

Sorry for late reply guys. Everythings working fine with the reader on windows so ill just stick with this setup, although ecm times are a little higher than on linux, but i can live with that.

Thanks for your help:)
