CCcam dying ???

I just received your latest news email, and it said something about CCcam being a dying project. Maybe I am a little out of touch with things, but to me that statement sounds like a load of complete bo**ocks. CCcam is the main emulator used in card sharing, and the vast majority of Linuxbox owners use it. I am aware that for some cards you need to use it along with other emulators as it won't read some cards, Sly for instance. But for card sharing CCcam is the emulator of choice.

If 2.1.3 is the last official update, it tells me that someone else has taken over supporting it as I am using 2.2.1

Yes I did see 2.2.3 and I knew about it being a fake also.

OK I will take your word for it but if Oscam is taking over how do you go about changing over yourself, if both you and all the people that you share with are using CCcam? I personally don't know of anyone using Oscam.

So what you are saying is that I can use Oscam instead of CCcam and it will still work, is that right ?

Just had a look at the Oscam section and understand what you are talking about. You still need CCcam for sharing but if you share a Sly card you need Oscam to read it. But as I have an SCT card I don't need Oscam as CCcam reads my card. ...... Thanks guys for helping to clear it up.

But one thing to come out of this is that CCcam is not dying as most people still need it if they want to share. A better way to have put it would have been to say that development has stopped on it, and so other emulators are needed in conjunction with CCcam.

Do I assume from what you are saying that other forms of sharing are being developed and will completely take over from CCcam? For instance Oscam may be developed to a point where you don't need to use it with CCcam. The only other method of sharing that I am aware of is Gbox, but as far I am am aware it is not very popular, I don't know of anyone who uses it. The point being that CCcam is well established and will be very hard to replace. I think the most likely thing to happen is a continuation of what already seems to be happening which seems to be addons for CCcam, such as Oscam. I could be wrong but I still can't see CCcam dying.
