  • Hi Guys,


    Yesterday I popped on to oscam monitor and my clients were pinging at 3000ms and no channels would work, all I did is restart the service oscam and it started working again.


    By standard all mine run at 204ms, is there any way of improving this? and is there any reason that it went that high, I only have 4 accounts on it. CPU level is running at 0.7% on 1 core.




    SPEC
    Processor: iCore 7
    Memory: 8GB RAM
    OS: Ubuntu
    Software: OScam
    Broadband: VIVID 200mb Virgin Media fibre
    Reader: Smargo V2
    Account: Sky


    I was reading on-line about ecm etc, I have nothing like this set in my config, am I missing something?


    Thanks in advance.

    smargopatch = 1
    showcls = 0
    boxid = 06DC****
    detect = cd

    Is there any more settings i could do with on here or any that needs removing.

    I don`t see any caid for your card. If you have sky (white card) you should have this parameter: caid = 0963


    Remove the mhz & cardmhz parameters, these should be setup on the actual smargo reader itself with the smargo tool..


    All bad requests are extra load on your card, extra load = higher ecm times.. You should look at setting up services for whatever channels you have on your package.

  • Hi Master,


    I've got a OMNIKEY instead of the smargo v2, do you think this is a good move or worse?
    I've not got it installed yet till I finish work but is there anything I need to do to install this correctly?


    Finally, every so many days its like the service is crashed and ECM's show at 3000ms, soon as a service restart is done everything is back online, any recommendations?


    Thanks
