Local TV freez with cardsharing

heinz96 · Jul 17th 2011

Hi everybody,

since I use cardsharing (25 Proxies, 24 Clients, 3 Locals) I discovered a lot of freezers while watching encrypted TV.
I also have a lot of internet traffic. I don't have a very fast internet connection and just 10 GB / Month allowed.

Here are my settings:

Questions:

How can I set the Oscam to check 2 readers for the same ECM at the same time and take the fastest?
Are my Loadbalance settings optimal? How can I improve them?
How can I compile Oscam with DVB-API Support (Ubuntu 11.04 amd64) and use for VDR-SC?
How can I reduce internet traffic? I have around 14 MB Up and 14 MB down in one hour just for Cardsharing.

Thank you so much!!!

newtolinux · Jul 17th 2011

then you have a very very big server with such traffic in only 1 hour . only way to reduce your traffic is reduce peers etc

Okay, thanks m8. It's hard to say "no more sharing with you" :-(

What is about reducing hops and/or reshare? Any other suggestions?

newtolinux · Jul 17th 2011

you could try reducing hops to look for only locals from your peers. also restrict reshare on your local cards etc.

Thanks newtolinux,

I changed these parameters from "2" to:

Code

cccmaxhops                    = 1
cccreshare                    = 1

I hope no peer will complain ;-) Thats increased my bandwitch to 14 MB (up+down).

What about my other questions?

How can I set the Oscam to check 2 readers for the same ECM at the same time and take the fastest?
Are my Loadbalance settings optimal? How can I improve them?
How can I compile Oscam with DVB-API Support (Ubuntu 11.04 amd64) and use for VDR-SC?

With your readers in load balance mode you need both cards being read to have identical packages on each .

These are all options for load balance in oscam latest builds : -

lb_mode = mode
load balancing mode:

0 = load balance disabled, ECMs go to all readers (default)
1 = fastest reader first, after 5 ECMs the reader with the fastest
response time will be selected
2 = oldest reader first, reader with the longest no answer
3 = lowest usage level, the usage level will be calculated by the
sum of 5 ECMS response times, the higher a reader is busy, the
higher is usage level

lb_save = 0|counts
save auto load balance statistics:

0 = saving of auto load balance statistics disabled (default)
counts = save auto load balance statistics every counts ECMs
(minimum 100)

To save CPU power a minimum counts of 100 is recommended.

lb_nbest_readers = counts
set count of best readers for load balancing, default:1

lb_nfb_readers = counts
set count of fallback readers for load balancing, default:1

lb_reopen_mode = 0|1
load balancing reopen readers mode:

0 = standard late reopening of blocker readers (default)
1 = fast reopening of blocker readers

lb_nbest_percaid = CAID1:count1[,CAID2:count2]...
set count of best readers per CAIDs for load balancing, default:none

lb_min_ecmcount = counts
minimal ECM count to evaluate load balancing values, default:5

lb_max_ecmcount = counts
maximum ECM count before resetting load balancing values, default:500

lb_reopen_seconds = seconds
time between retrying failed load balanced readers/CAIDs/providers/services,
default:900

lb_retrylimit = milli seconds
retry next load balanced reader only if response time is higher then lb_retrylimit,
default:800

lb_savepath = filename
filenanme for saving load balancing statistics, default:/tmp/.oscam/stat

lb_stat_cleanup = hour
hours after the load balancing statistics will be deleted, default:336

lb_use_locking = 0|1
1 = disable parallel and identical load balancing ECM requests, default:0

lb_retrylimits = CAID1:time1[,CAID2:time2]...
load balancing retry limit time per CAID, default:none

lb_noproviderforcaid = CAID1[,CAID2]...
ignore provider information for CAIDs to reduce load balancing statistic data,
default:none

lb_max_readers = limit
restrict the reader count to limit during load balancing learning:

0 = unlimited (default)
limit = restrict load balancer readers to limit

lb_auto_betatunnel = 0|1
1 = enable automatic Betacrypt tunneling detection for CAIDs 1801, 1833, 1834, and 1835
for load balancing, Betacrypt defintion in oscam.user with betatunnel will be prefered,
default:1

Your settings however look just fine
