Start/restart ccam

h8t · Mar 15th 2025

That wasn't meant to be an attack! i just don't understand it.

Quote from Lululla

your question was about ccam, then you are confusing me with oscam.

i never said anything about cccam, i always mentioned oscamicamnew...

Quote from Lululla

The most correct thing to do and I repeated it 5 times is to reinstall the cams.

i reinstalled the cam after all.

Quote from Lululla

I hope someone else smarter than me can.

Please... my friend... don't say that.

I think we are talking at cross purposes.

Quote from Panda555

I don't understand why you want to make a script to restart oscam.

I just want to long press red and the cam will restart.

Quote from Panda555

The script is already in softcam.oscamicamnew (etc/init.d) and there with the yellow button you restart oscam in Softcam settings.

As I have shown it in the screenshot above (yellow button)?

Does that mean i don't need my own script?

Quote from Panda555

Is your problem with the image freezing, so you restart oscam every time?

Right.

that's also a language barrier problem.

I'll try to explain it again:

The SZP works quite well.

sometimes the picture hangs and when I restart it via the OpenATV menu with yellow, it works great again.

I wanted to put this on the hotkey so that I don't always have to go through the whole menu. That's all

**Panda555** · Mar 15th 2025

You can solve this with Hotkey Settings. I pressed example the yellow button > Setup > Softcam Setup > Save . Now when I press the yellow button, Softcam Settings opens and I do a Restart oscam.

h8t · Mar 15th 2025

ok, I understand what you mean.

I do the same with a script.

I press long red (I set it that way) and then it happens like in post #1 - the script does not work.

I don't know if you can, I'll leave you some commands to launch in telnet

check if the file exists

ls -l /etc/init.d/softcam

check if cccam is running

ps aux | grep -i cccam

search for the executive track

which cccam

My Output is:

Quote

root@ustym4kpro:~# find / -type f -iname "cccam" 2>/dev/null
/usr/bin/cccam

or with this command for find it

find / -type f -iname "cccam" 2>/dev/null

you can also put the output here.

the question arises spontaneously

Did you make the script? With which program?

Try to give this command from telnet and then run it

sed -i 's/\r$//' /usr/script/*.sh

chmod +x /usr/script/*.sh

h8t · Mar 16th 2025

I have executed the commands. you can see the output in the screenshot.

which cccam

Quote from Lululla

find / -type f -iname "cccam" 2>/dev/null

did not bring any results

Yes. I copied the structure from another script and the command also works in the FCA.sh script.

I use Notepad++ for this.

sed -i 's/\r$//' /usr/script/*.sh
chmod +x /usr/script/*.sh

I have done it.

something has also changed, but the screen just stays still and the display doesn't go away...

THX!

**Lululla** · Mar 16th 2025

you don't have cccam bin ..

you confused ccam with oscam..

and you gave me a headache for this

if you had explained better and read my reply to your first post carefully..

Post

RE: Start/restart ccam

depends on what's in the .sh file it probably performs an operation on a non-existent file

if you solved it I'll close this useless topic.

**KiddaC** · Mar 17th 2025

2 things.

script files need unix endings. So make sure in your text editor you change the line endings.
i.e in notepad++
its edit > EOL Conversion > Unix(LF)

Have you changed the *.sh file permissions.
You need change the script permission to allow execution. i.e 755

Those 2 things I always forget.

Quote from KiddaC

yes, I have checked the two points.

Unix (LF) is activated (other files in Notepad++ also work).

permissions are set to 755.

in other words:

is there a way or command i can put in the script to grab the command from this menu “restart” (yellow button)?

Aufnahme2.jpg

as you can see, a small info window appears (Bearbeite) and a loading bar runs through. after that it always works.

**Lululla** · Mar 18th 2025

the Restart command is nothing more than the sum of 2 commands

Bash

#!/bin/sh
case "\$1" in
start)
    ulimit -s 1024
    ${CAMSTART}
    ;;
stop)
    ${CAMSTOP}
    ;;
restart|reload)
    \$0 stop
    sleep 1
    \$0 start
    ;;
version)
    echo "${PV}"
    ;;
info)
    echo "${CAMNAME} ${PV}"
    ;;
*)
    echo "Usage: \$0 start|stop|restart"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac
exit 0
EOF

so I don't understand where you want to get if it's already like this, even if you change the cam management plugin at the next update everything would go back to how it was before

For me, I think this discussion is not useful

i don't know how to explain it better, my english is not good.

I'll try to explain it again:

the SZP works quite well for me. when I watch HD+ (german provider), it is very stable.

but when i switch to sky, it often happens that the picture freezes after a few seconds.

if i then restart the cam via the menu from #29, the picture resets (goes black) and comes back after a few seconds (when a server has been reached again) and then it runs through.

i would like to have this on a hotkey so that i don't always have to go through the whole menu.

if that doesn't work, i'll just have to do it the way i've been doing it all the time, which shouldn't be a problem.

what i have noticed, however, is that the script i wrote works with HD+ but not with sky.

that is, with HD+ the picture stops for a moment (but doesn't go black) and then comes back. with sky it just stops, nothing else happens.

when i insert your command above into the script, nothing happens. only the content is displayed...

i'm sorry, i don't mean to be a pain. i don't understand much about this and thought it would be done very quickly. i didn't think it would be such a problem.

i can understand that you lose your nerve when i don't understand what you're writing, it's not intentional.

Is there a way so the script will detect automatically when oscam is freezed/not running? maybe via log reader?

**Panda555** · Mar 21st 2025

I don't see any reason to restart oscam or any special script when the picture freezes. Oscam runs all the time and the problem is not with it, but with the servers you are using.Look in oscam.log which server is causing the freeze, and temporarily disable it.

Frozen option In openvix

Menu > Setup > Softcam Management > Softcam Manager >

- then press Menu button for frozen softcam settings

Hi.

Sorry if I'm replying to an old post.

You've probably already solved this. But I'll ask anyway... and I'll be happy to help.

Sorry but once again... what is not working ? And what exactly do you want to achieve ? If you don't know English, please use translate.google.com, on the left side select your native language and on the right side English. Then copy the English text (translated text) here into the discussion.

Hey man, not really i havent found a solution yet. The thing is, oscam constantly freezes after a while of being idle/or normally watching some channels it suddendly stops decoding/freezes. Is there any way to make a script that will prevent the oscam from freezing the image like that? Because everytime we have to open menu and go trhough the whole menu, and manually click the yellow button which is kinda a long process now i have hundreds of people and have to explain to all of them is really pain in the ass tho. its also irritating when you watch some movie and suddendly it stops tho especially watching sport.

**s3n0** · Apr 4th 2026

Of course it is possible... but it would be better to solve the problem of Oscam freezing than to write unnecessary scripts that will cause temporary LAG anyway. It depends on what encoding you are using and what SAT provider you are using.

If you use IRDETO and are in CZ/SK, please write me a message... because unfreezing can be lengthy. I don't even have a basic understanding of other coding systems and I can't help with others.
