keeping omnikey up to date

**dekelster** · Aug 27th 2012

My cyfra ecm are a little high, around 200ms. Other locals are fine. So trying to reduce this.

Will running the following sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade also update the omnikey drivers if there is an update available?

If not, how do I make sure my omnikey drivers are the latest.
Any other ideas on how to reduce that ecm.

Reader for cyfra:

[reader]
label = CYFRA
protocol = pcsc
device = 0
mhz = 357
cardmhz = 357
emmcache = 1,3,2
group = 2
caid = 0100

Recently added the bits shown in blue, doesn't seem to have made any diff tho.
Thanks

Why do you have

device = 0 and id also add the line

ident = 0100:000068

Not sure how much it will help, but its a starting point

can add the ident but won't improve your ecm times

'device = 0' is because he is using an omnikey and is correct.

bear in mind that some cards have higher ecm times anyway and if working ok then there isn't really a reason to be overly concerned.

Ahh, its probably as I have two Omnikeys attached, to mine, not that they are up to much at the mo.

Using three omnikeys. Didn't realise other cards may have higher ecm times though.

I guess ecm times is one of those things were there are lots of things that could effect them.

Using the latest omnikey drivers could be a factor though. Thats why I was asking how to update them.

Thanks again
