Thanks I will intriduce myself when I have found the problem.
I'm trying to gets think working for 3 days and nights now, but im deperate I have no ideas. Yesterday I sat and tried until 3 in the morning.
And yes I have read the oscam wiki, and all the other postings and sites. But I do not know what iám doing wrong. ANd to be honnest, the oscam wiki is not a big help.

Please anyone an idea?

Hi Keytreb,

You don't have a 'BOXID' this is ID of the box you are 'OSCam-ing' to and it is required although the Wiki doesn't say this. What version of OSCam are you using and what location are you coping the file to?

I have the following setting in mine,

label=
enable=1
protocol=cccam
device=<IP Address or URL>,<Port>
user=<username>
password=<password>
cccversion=2.1.4
group=1
inactivitytimeout=1
reconnecttimeout=30
lb_weight=100
cccmaxhops=10
ccckeepalive=1
cccwantemu=0
boxid=<ID of Box>

I have nothing more... Another thing you might want to check is your Router's firewall - you will be able to see the traffic coming to and from you STB, if there is nothing then you know it is a problem with the STB config. If you are receiving traffic and it is going to the correct address then you know your STB is working fine.

What could be the boxid, is it an number, where could I found it?

I don't know exactly where you can get this information from - but it should be the MAC address of the box which is serving you your Oscam service

I put the oscam.server in var/keys

You need to put the Oscam.server file in /var/tuxbox/config - once you've done this restart the OSCam plugin

FTP Login - that is to be used in FileZilla to remotely access your box.

In my image, nebula e2 from the pkteam there is no /tuxbox/

I think you talk about the spark image

if there are not /tuxbox/config directories just create them.
the problem is that some oscam builds are looking for the config files in var/keys and some others in var/tuxbox/config, to be sure just copy the same files to both directories.

but my advice is, don`t waste your time with any e2 image, THIS RECEIVER WILL NEVER WORK WELL WITH E2, simply because only kids are playing around trying to produce e2 images, so stick with the solid Spark.

Hello satsok,
I have on my Amiko Alien 2 the PKTeam Hyperion V3 running and it works as a charm. So I am not agree with THIS RECEIVER WILL NEVER WORK WELL WITH E2. Sorry for that.

Yours,

So you obviously do not own one of these yourself satsok, or else maybe you couldn't manage to load E2 onto it yourself but then you slag off others. Spark is garbage when compared to Enigma2 Images, two of which, Hyperion and AR-P are both very good and stable.

To be fair to Satsok his comments are almost a year old and E2 on the Alien 2 was poor and buggy at that stage .
It is very stable now though ,Hyperion 3 is excellent.

A year ago, Spark was complete garbage too. It was very close to being thrown out the front window and being named as a culprit in divorce proceedings !!
