  • Hi there,


    I am looking for some assistance resolving a channel freeze issue that I have running oscam on my Amiko Alien2 receiver


    I have another receiver in the house (Ferguson Ariva running on cccam) and I do not see any picture freeze issue so I know the my home broadband is ok and the C line that I am using is fine also.


    Below are my oscam.server settings with my personal details removed.


    Do these settings look ok or is there a change that might resolve by picture freeze issues ?



    [reader]
    label = cccam-reader
    enable = 1
    protocol = cccam
    device = xxxxxx
    user = xxxxxx
    password = xxxxx
    cccversion = 2.0.11
    cccmaxhops = 3
    group = 1
    inactivitytimeout = 1
    reconnecttimeout = 30
    keepalive = 1


    [reader]
    label = reader_down
    enable = 0
    protocol = internal
    device = /dev/sci0
    detect = cd
    mhz = 500
    group = 4
    emmcache = 1,2,3

  • dont use ccam much in the alien2 but last time i used these setting and worked


    [reader]
    label = remote
    description = CCcam Example
    protocol = cccam
    device = example.server.com,port
    user = username
    password = password
    inactivitytimeout = 30
    reconnecttimeout = 5
    group = 1
    blockemm-unknown = 1
    blockemm-u = 1
    blockemm-s = 1
    blockemm-g = 1
    cccversion = 2.1.4



    not saying its right ,but it worked for me

    Thanks for the suggestion but sections but unfortunately I had the same result of picture freezing for a few seconds every 30-40 secs


    Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Presumably both boxes are connecting to a remote server - one box will kick the other off if you use the same C Line on both at the same time => freezing.
    How is each box connected to the internet (eg. wired or wirelessly)?


    Try running Oscam on the Fergusson and see if that freezes too.

    I have a multiroom C line connection so the freezing would not have been down to the server provider.


    I did some more trawling through the sat forums and I ended up adding a cccam EMU onto the receiver and after loading the C line details and a reboot running cccam it seems to have fixed the issue. I have been watching SSP1 for over 10 mins without a lag.


    I will continue to monitor it but fingers crossed this might just have sorted it

  • I have the same problem on my Amiko A3, only HD channels freeze every 30 sec.
    I have no idea what is the problem? Signal strength is around 89-90, the quality is around 75...
    Thanks in advance!
