Found the problem.

I also had a problem with time not updating from the sat. My year was 2017.

That made cooltvguide activate some kind of time bomb that causes the plug not to run. So now we know at least that coolmans software has a built in time limit.

Reflashed the image which cured the problem with time not updating from the sat. Then installed coolmans TV guide which now works as expected when system time says year is 2012. Just wondering which year it will stop working?

Thanks for your help!

Solved it by reflashing the image.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, and that is what i did.

Installed 5.6.2 from TSPanel as i said in my original post.

Does not work!!!!!!!!!

I think maybe i was a bit unclear.

Timezone is set correctly. (+1 for Stockholm where i am)

The date is a little bit off, year is 2017 (it's 2012 now, you know). Also time is way off.

Shouldn't time and date update from the feeds?

In BH 1.6.5 i always had the correct date and time.

Have just updated my Duo to Black Hole 1.7.3 and wanted to install latest Cool TV guide.

Found ver 5.6.2 in TSPanel downloads and installed it.

But when I press EPG to activatate the guide I get a message saying a new version is available and that i should download it from cooltvguide.com. And thats it, cooltvguide can't be activated.

Well i thought, entered the URL in IE and hit return. But now IE says it can't find the site.

It actually seems the site doesn't exist! Duuuuh!

How cool is that? Not very in my opinion. :bad_smelly:

So i tried to install ver 5.5.0. Same message. So i tried to install ver 5.0.0 which i have runt for months on BH 1.6.5. Same f...ing message again.

There are a lot of very enthusiastic programmers/hackers in this field with sat boxes. That is great, nothing wrong with enthusiasm. But I only wish there was a bit more professionalism. It would make life for us end users much easier.

So, can anyone please tell me how i can install cool tv guide and avoid getting this stupid message.

I have just updated to Black Hole 1.7.3 and are using Cccam 2.2.1 and have finally been able to get most of it working.

But now the box doesn't update date and time from the satellite.

Any ideas?

Yupp!

Uninstalled oscam and mgcamd and installed Cccam 2.2.1 and almost immediately got picture and sound!

Thanks for all your help guys!

I wish this box and its software was a lot more user friendly. Without your help i would be lost.

I might be back later in another thread with more beginners questions.

Until then, have a really nice weekend all of you who have helped me.

Cant open webif in browser.

My box has IP 10.0.0.6.

The file oscam.conf contains this:
[webif]
httpport = 8080
httpuser = oscam
httppwd = oscam
httprefresh = 10
httpallowed = 10.0.0.6,127.0.0.1,192.168.0.1-192.168.255.255
httphideidleclients = 0
httpreadonly = 0
httpsavefullcfg = 0

So the URL i am trying to open is: http://10.0.0.6:8080/

But it does not work. IE says it cannot display page. I am not surprised!:tire:

This mess is really beginning to get at me.

What would be the simplest and fastest way to get this gunk up and running?

Should i uninstall oscam+mgcamd and instead go for Cccam (which actually worked in BH 1.6.5)? If so, which version of Cccam is compatible with BH 1.7.3?

What i have done is this:
1. Installed TSPanel 4.9.
2. Using TSPanel i installed package Addons>linuxsat_support_Addons>Cams-BH Other>oscam v6611+Mgcamd v138-BH
3. On Black Hole blue panel i selected oscam 6611-mgcamd 1.38 and pressed OK to make these cams the default.
4. Restarted box.
5. In TSPanel process list there are 7 oscam processes and 4 mgcamd processes (strange thing is that these do not show up in BH blue-yellow-blue process list. Bug ?????).
6. From the link provided by Master G above i downloaded "Mgcamd & Oscam config for Canal Digital conax.rar" and transfered the files to the box with filezilla.
7. Transfered bouquetes to the box using dreamboxedit.
8. Restarted the box.

The problem now is that i get no picture or sound.

The names of the current and next program is shown as expected in status bar.

Provider info and station info seems OK to me.

It seems my card is not decoded at all. Any ideas?

Hi MasterG and cazuela!

Thanks to both of you for your quick reply!

The reason i haven't posted anything until now is that i didn't have to. I got everything working almost immediately when i bought the Duo in oct last year, just some minor problems i could easily find answers to. Didn't dare touch the darned thing after that. But now it is time to upgrade, if i can get it to work, that is.

I have a few more questions for you:

Can't i use just oscam? Why do i also need either Cccam 2.1.3 or mgcamd?

Is Cccam 2.1.3 safe (no backdoors and such crap) and will it really install on BH 1.7.3? (I did have problems installing Cccam 2.2.1, remember?)

Following the link you provided cazuela, i found the closest match to be the same as the first link provided by MasterG. But that seems to be for Dutch Canal Digital, will that really work for Nordic CD?
If those settings are actually OK for me, which one of the 4 downloadable files should i use?

If i instead go for the oscam+mgcamd alternative, the link you provided MasterG is to the settings. But where do i find the actual install files for the cams?

Hi guys!

Wow, this is a jungle and I need your help choosing and setting up a softcam for my Vu+ Duo. My card is a payed for Canal Digital Nordic. I dont cardshare and don't want anyone else to be able to use my card via some kind of backdoor. All i want is to be able to use my Duo to watch TV using the CD card i am paying for.

I have just updated from BH 1.6.5 (where i used Cccam 2.2.1) to BH 1.7.3. I tried to install Cccam 2.2.1 but nothing got installed. I don't know what happened but it got me looking for another cam. I have read something about backdoors in CCcam 2.3.0, and i don't want that!

Which softcam should i use that is stable, works without problems and is not too difficult to setup (I am a programmer, but i know almost nothing about Linux)?

Oscam maybe, or some other?

Please tell me where to find the correct install file to download and how to set it up so it works.

Thanks!
