cccam - just the basic's - please....

if you are using your vu as your master box . i.e master cccam server then this box would contain the f line you have setup for your dreambox .

In your dreambox you would have only a c line which would point to the local ip address of your vu with port your are using for cccam server and then user details.

for example in your dreambox

C: 192.168.1.2 12000 test test

thats it !!!!!

&

in your vu u must create a f line like this

F: test test

Hi Comysofa,
like you I am a newbie but have got past your hurdle. I am using three dreamboxes and I used a great tut that puts it in laymans terms. Cant remember where it was now but I have it as a word doc. I will paste it in here... Its long but is a really good un....Oh I assume u r only internal sharing ie using ur own sly card. Below is the relevant bit u need this talks about dreambox but it covers the c and f lines quite good. u also need ur boxkey. I assume u have that bit sorted................

if your using your own *** card and want to enter in your *** box boxkey in to cccam follow the instructions above to open cccam.cfg and scroll down to line 317 , the first thing as always is to delete the # symbol , now you will see BOXKEY:/dev/sci0 11 22 33 44 (where you see the boxkey example 11 22 33 44 edit this and enter your boxkey , as above click on file and click on exit and save and reboot your dreambox . now you can view all of your paid for channels including all sports and movies channels . i can only fit in so much in one post and so this tutorial will be over 3 to 4 posts . so in my next post i will talk about how to share your paid for *** card to a second box in your own home (this is called internal sharing )and how to share your paid for card with family or friends in their homes (this is called external sharing ) i will talk also about c lines and f lines ,and i hope at the end you will successfully card sharing . remember that on the whole the information in this tutorial can be used on nearly all models of dreambox not just a dm500s .

ok cardsharing in your own home (internal card sharing ) first you need to follow all the instructions in post 1 above to get your second box flashed setup and connected to your router ,now you have box 1 with your paid for *** card in it (this is called the server ) and you have box 2 in another room (this is called the client) you will need to put your server box c line in to cccam.cfg in the client box . how do i know what my c line is you ask ? , a c line is a line of information and the information in it consists of the server box ip address ,the default port which is 12000 , and a user name and password (of your choosing) example if your server box ip is 192.168.0.100 and you want to share your card to box 2 in your bedroom your c line would look like this C:192.168.0.100 12000 share1 bedroom ,your server box ip starts the line ,the default port for cs is 12000 and share1 is the user name and bedroom is the password ,again you can choose any user name and password . to find out what your server box ip address is press menu on your remote ,press 6 (setup) and open expert settings ,then open communication setup and you will find the ip of your box . so box 2 is setup and connected to your router and ready to go so open cccam.cfg and type in your c line as i explained in the last paragraph in post 1 ,then save and exit and reboot your box ,now your client box is ready to go but it still wont recieve the *** channels from the server box ,this is because the server box must have an f line . an f line for internal sharing only needs to be simple ,it only needs to contain the same user name and password that you used in the c line ,example F: share1 bedroom thats all you need , so in the server box open cccam.cfg as i explained above and scroll down to line number 24 and delete the # symbol as always and type F: and the user name and password you have chosen , dont forget the user name and password in the f line must be the same as those in the c line . save and exit and reboot your box ,you should now be successfully sharing your card to box 2 ,of course you can add box3 and 4 if you like just follow all of the instructions above .

PS dont use port 12000 (default) use summat like 16680 or make up ur own
