no entitlement updates

    Hi,


    i've got oscam running now with the config from http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=85046 and i can decrypt Sky1.


    But i've noticed, that my entitlements are still expiring on October 30th even as i see that i receive EMMs/ECMs.


    My main question is now, if they should be updated automatically or does this require manual intervention? I'm asking because i'm not sure about the behavior of saveemm-u/-s, are they just written to the log or are they also written to the smartcard?


    Thisare the current entitlements and i've received the card in that state. There should be also a subscription by now on that card but i don't know if i just missed the signals or if they are not written correctly.



    I also see regular log entries like


    Code
    2015/10/20 16:51:40 XXX c   (reader) SkyUK [videoguard2] Successfully added EMM to /usr/local/etc/SkyUK_shared_emm.log
2015/10/20 16:51:44 XXX c   (reader) SkyUK [videoguard2] Successfully added EMM to /usr/local/etc/SkyUK_unique_emm.log


    But i'm curious as there are no EMMs written on the reader status page: (I just restarted oscam, so the numbers are pretty low, but i haven't seen written EMMs even after several hours)

    Can you please give me a hint on what i'm missing?

    Thanks for the quick reply


    Here are the configs:


    oscam.conf



    oscam.server



    oscam.user


    Code
    [account]
user = skyuk
pwd  = skyuk
group = 1
caid = 0960
ident = 0960:000000
au = SkyUK

    Did you convert the boxkey and add it to oscam.server ?


    Those configs will update entitlements/write EMM`s on their own without any intervention.. Usually you will receive an EMM every other day and your entitlements will stay around 6 weeks ahead of running out..


    If you give sky a call and tell them the box has been turned off for a while and you have no channels, they will send the update/EMM within a few minutes.. Leave it in the official decoder or the server to receive the update/EMM..

    Hi Master G
    I seem to have a similar problem and would very much appreciate your advice. I have a dm800 clone which I have used as a server for the past 2 years, using oscam & CCCam. The box crashed about a month ago and I reflashed it with the same image:- Dream Elite Black Hole V1.0: Enigma Phoenix 2010-06-01 :Image Sat4fun 2013-06-02


    I installed oscam #6059+CCcam213-Sly_Uk-E2-BH from the addons and copied my configs from a notepad version I had saved. Everything worked fine for the past few weeks until this Monday when I was missing a few channels. Obviously I checked the frequencies for change but it was not that. I then noticed my entitlements were down to 14 (I'm sure there were more) and these 14 are due to expire at the end of the month.


    I am not aware I have done anything different from my previous setup so would very much appreciate your input


    These are my configs

    Finally, I note in your response to Debecka above about entering the box key. I know what the box key is as I had previously used when I had standalone CCcam setup but I cannot remember using it in the oscam+cccam setup prior to the recent crash which worked for approx. 2 years. If I do need to enter it perhaps you could advise what the entry format of the key is in oscam.server.


    Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Hi master G,


    thank you very much for clarification! The Boxkey has been there all time and today i've kept the stream active over night, i just checked and the entitlements have been refreshed, so all it took was some patience.


    There are now also some EMMs written to the card, so i just haven't watched enough TV :D


    Thank you for all the documentation work!

    The conversion is described here: http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?p=1183#post1183


    You take the serial number from the receiver menu (not from one of the labels), remove the first and the last digit, convert that number to hex and add it as "boxkey = $number". It should be 8 digits, if it are less, you need to fill up with zeroes in the beginning to get a 8 digit string.


    Edit: Thank you very much to all of you for your work on documentation, configs and help!

    Many thanks debecka, I already had the boxkey written down from a few years back so entered it as described and immediately my entitlements were updated and all channels are now clearing. I still don't remember having the boxkey entered in my previous setup which worked for the past 2 years but that could be a sign that I need to start worrying about my brain not getting the correct updates ;)


    Thanks again
