  • Where does a Newbie go?


    Hi humphrey3000,


    Yes by the sound of it you have did everything correctly and are now ready for the next step.

  • Ubuntu CCcam/Oscam.

    You can add this to oscam.conf, this will setup the log file.


    Code
    # logging
#pidfile = /var/run/oscam.pid
logfile = /var/log/oscam.log
usrfile = /var/log/oscamuser.log
cwlogdir = /var/log/cw.log
maxlogsize = 1000



    You can access the oscam.log by navigating to /var/log or by using the below command in putty.


    Code
    tail -f /var/log/oscam.log


    JSC card gets one update then its activated for the year. Sly gets update every two months and the oscam configs you have will do this. Tring needs an update on the first of every month and oscam does not do this, you need a conax cam or a combination of mgcamd+oscam.

  • Ubuntu CCcam/Oscam.

    Close all the ports you have openned for oscam, you dont need them open if you are passing to CCcam internally.


    Only open the ports if you are sharing oscam on its own.


    Change all the passwords you have set incase someone has already seen this. I will edit them now just incase.

    The sly card is over 12 moths old (second-hand). Is it of any use or is it only fit for the bin now? I've never been able to find this out when browsing other forums. And if it's no good, does this stop me setting up the DM500 as a server?


    If theres no active channels working on it then it wont be worth sharing, it wont stop you setting up a server as there are very friendly people out there who dont mind sharing with you without anything in return. This is how most people get started, it will take you alot longer to find what you are looking for compared to having something that everyone wants.

    Secondly, do you think it would be wise if I start from scratch re: dreambox firmware and add-ons. I don't even remember what version of Open PLi it uses (is there a way of checking?) and I've messed around with it so much that I ought to flash erase and put on the basic software again. If so, could you suggest which image to start with (what are all those PLI betas for anyway? How do you tell what is what?). Also, which version of CCcam emulator should I put on? Which version of Oscam emulator? In fact why do I need two emulators? I'd be interested to find out.


    This image Open PLI Oscam & CCcam 2.1.3 Sly UK Ready has everything you will need. The reason for the two emulators is that CCcam alone isnt that great as a cardreader compared to oscam. Thats why most people who have been used to CCcam use oscam as cardreader and CCcam2.1.3 to control their server. Although oscam combines all protocols so if you learn it theres no need for CCcam at all.

  • Where does a Newbie go?

    Welcome to the forum humphrey, we can use this thread to start building your knowledge on the basics, then unleash yourself on the rest of the forum lol.


    From what you are saying you already have openpli and the necessary emulators installed, this is a good start.


    So lets try to get your DM500 working as a server, at the moment it will work as a client (you dont need to open any ports within your router to acheive this).


    You need to setup a hostname at dyndns.com How to create a dyndns account VIDEO


    There are a few things that need setup in the router, set the dm500 a static ip address and open a port for this ip address so people can access your server online. You should also be able to add your dyndns hostname account details in your router, this informs your clients of any changes the isp has made to your external ip address. Look for your router make & model here Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model - PortForward.com


    Get this part out of the way and you are half way there, here is a good tutorial to get you started.
