    Would greatly appreciate if someone could help me with setting up a oscam server as I’m stock .I have a small share 7 people family and friends only running newcamd with a white card,but lately I’m having to reboot every 90 minutes as everything drops. I’ve reflashed my eagle box 500s changed routers, and every 90 minutes I have to restart my server, same problem. So I’m out of ideas and would like to switch to oscam ,but I don’t understand the config set up thanks.

    Thanks for replying master g seems to make more sense to me now but i won't get to change over until the morning i'll let you know how i get on cheers.

    If i were you i would flash this image, it`s the best available for that receiver => Commando 15.0d for DM500S and DM500C


    Oscam can be downloaded here => Oscam, CCcam & Mgcamd For Commando Neutrino Image Dm500


    Paste the converted N lines into oscam.server file with notepadd++ and save. Or use CCcam2Oscam to create an oscam.server file..


    FTP all 6 oscam config files to /var/tuxbox/config, start oscam, then look at the oscam webinterface in a browser like this http://ip.address.of.dm500:8888


    Copy the live oscam log from startup so we can help figure out whats going wrong buddy..

    It would be easier just using CCCam for such a small share group. It reads the white card without issues provided you enter the correct boxkey which you will already have in your NewCamd config. Its also a lot easier to setup than OSCam.


    The good thing with CCCam is that it updates the card without any issues what so ever.

    I`m assuming he setup friends and family.. Coming from newcs all his peers are using N lines.. If he moves to CCcam he will need to give out C lines.. I think the transition to oscam would be easier if this is the case, so he can continue using the newcamd protocol / N lines, instead of having to setup everybody again..


    After reading your thread again i realized you want to create N lines, not add a remote reader. I gave you the wrong info, sorry about that.


    For example the N lines are like this:

    Code
    N: my.hostname.org [COLOR='#FF0000']10001[/COLOR] [COLOR='#B22222']linuxsat1 support1[/COLOR] [COLOR='#FFA500']01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14[/COLOR]
N: my.hostname.org [COLOR='#FF0000']10001[/COLOR] [COLOR='#B22222']linuxsat2 support2[/COLOR] [COLOR='#FFA500']01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14[/COLOR]
N: my.hostname.org [COLOR='#FF0000']10001[/COLOR] [COLOR='#B22222']linuxsat3 support3[/COLOR] [COLOR='#FFA500']01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14[/COLOR]


    Add this to oscam.conf:

    Code
    [newcamd]
port = [COLOR='#FF0000']10001[/COLOR]@0963:000000
key  = [COLOR='#FFA500']0102030405060708091011121314[/COLOR]
keepalive = 1


    Create a new [account] for each peer in oscam.user:


    I have modified the attached configs to include this..

    once again i must thank you for all your help and i would have not got this far with out it . i spent a lot of hours trying yesterday with no joy .i tried the image you said and a few more i feel i am nearly there but then i knock back at the last jump any way i am going to attach my files and can you tell me is these the only files that should be in the config folder i no that its only a small server but i would love to get it going once again i thank you

    Edited once, last by master G: removing configs ().

    thanks great job working now thanks could not have done this with out your help can i ask you a couple of question
    if i have to add a user or take one away how would i do that as i for got to add my mother and father to it do i go into the ocam use and add it
    does the card update it self like did on the newcs that i was running before
    also try looking at the box thought the Webb interface but it will not come up any ideas
    once again i must thank you very much for what you did

    Already explained how to add a new user / [account] to oscam.user in post #6 buddy.


    Delete the [account] if you want to remove someone from your server..


    Oscam is configured to update the entitlements on your card, no need to change anything..


    Access oscam webinterface in a browser like this http://ip.address.of.dm500:8888

    i like to thank you for all the time and work that you have done its all up and running now with no freezing and breaking up running like a dream your the man all i need now is the card to update and i rest at peace thanks and good luck
