    OSCAM 1.20-unstable_svn build #6012 this is what im running in my debian server
    i have no issues or problems with it but was just wondering weather i should go to the latest version
    or just leave it since its all good

    i would definately say to keep with what you have if it does everything you want. lot of diffrent versions have some problems or the other.

    New versions may include bug fixes, new features, etc, so me being me would regularly update. If you are happy with what you have got and see no reason to update then that is fine. Considering 1.20 builds are considered unstable then you should always expect that along with bug fixes will be new bugs. It is very easy to update, it is pretty much just a case of getting the new binary and overwriting the old.

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....

    a wee update tried to update this and got this .oscam: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'glibc_2.14'not found
    so just went back to the one above and think i will just stay on it lol

    hi all tried again to update my oscam by following this .....


    download new oscam
    stop oscam on your server
    ftp to server and rename current oscam to oscam-old for example, just so you will have a copy of it if you need to revert back
    ftp new oscam to server
    chmod it 755
    restart oscam


    but it comes up no process when i try to restart it does anybody have any ideas as to where i am going wrong cheers tebaa

    Im guessing you are trying to run the wrong oscam binary, what setup are you using ?

    debian server 64 bit
    think it was one of your auto installs i used if i remember ten
    i took the oscam from the latest oscam at top of main page this one here
    oscam-svn8349-x86_64-pc-linux-webif-libusb-ssl-Distribution.tar

    Compile it yourself.


    First things first, create a backup of your current oscam.


    cd /usr/local/bin


    cp oscam /home


    Now your current version is in your home folder...../home Now build oscam with


    cd /usr/src
    svn co h**p://streamboard.de.vu/svn/oscam/trunk oscam-svn (change ** to tt)
    cd oscam-svn
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake -DWEBIF=1 ..
    make
    make install


    Now once all this is done you'll have the oscam binary in your current build directory.


    mv oscam oscam8359 (which is current version as of 5 mins ago.


    now do


    cp oscam8359 /usr/local/bin


    Now delete the entire oscam folder


    cd /usr/src


    rm -rf oscam-svn


    Now change to the latest oscam.


    cd /usr/local/bin


    killall oscam


    now rename your old oscam binary


    mv oscam oscam.old


    Now set up your new oscam binary


    mv oscam8359 oscam


    and finally start oscam


    ./oscam -b


    Done..

    hi all when i input this. svn co h##p://streamboard.de.vu/svn/oscam/trunk oscam-svn (change ** to tt) i get command not found


    can anybody point me in the right direction to solve this cheers tebaa

    Code
    svn co http://www.streamboard.tv/svn/oscam/trunk oscam-svn


    try the above - as far as I know the location of the sources changed


    If the command doesn't work then you probably have missing subversion package.
