The cams are in /usr/bin
To start them manually, you would issue these commands using putty or similar. I am assuming your cam name is mgcamd, please double check
cd /usr/bin
./mgcamd
If they have uploaded the wrong architecture file in the ipk, you will have to source a correct one and install it manually.
Start the Cam by command line and see what it says.
You only need a card server if you have a card in your receiver and serving it to other devices.
With regards to your mgcamd not working, can you upload your mg_cfg that you transferred to /usr/keys You will need to zip the file before uploading it. If you did not transfer one, that is the reason why it is not working.
This thread is about secret feed for openatv. The ipk files on the secret feed are "packaged" for openatv using current coding and the planned withdrawal of others.
Please feel free to have the last word, I won't respond after that as it is better I lose and end the debate so that we can move on to helping people.
This thread is about openatv, so discussing other "distros" is not helpful for majority of users. Most users want is to be able to install cam, start/restart cam. The cams on the current softcam feeds do not have the the .emu files you mentioned.
Constantly referring to the softcam panel is just going to complicate things for majority of users. Best for those who want to help other users, to mention the new method.
Power users like yourself know what to do and won't be asking help.
The new code for cams in OpenATV is here among other places:

I am more interested in helping people solve their problems than code discussions. unless it is for adding/improving image/plugins.
So long as people are stuck with " where is my softcam panel", they will have issues. Forget it, move on to the new control methods and cams that operate using it.
The new control methods work fine. Just a bit cumbersome until you get used to it. Obviously does not work if you use a cam designed for the old method. Once people stop using the old cams, they will drop the old method.
If softcam panel is that important to you, don't use latest ATV images or install anything that updates Enigma2.
With regards to the queries/comments about the EPG-ID (AB 28.2) /Channel ID (ABM), these are values used by providers that use the OPENTV EPG system. Virgin does not use it, hence why they do not have them. Enigma2 is not coded to identify/use those values.
The renames in ABM are hacks that were added to aid identification of ITV regions as well as deal with the complaints of of "My ITV HD is not my local ITV in HD". People not easily accept that they do not have a local ITV HD and a nearby one was being used. The ITV regions all had different names many years ago and they changed to just "ITV". I suppose official receivers will only ever have the one.
Pretty sure only Blackhole use the one on E2openplugins. Apologies in advance if incorrect OpenBlackhole and everyone else, including PLI using the OE_A one.
The location of the file is the issue, there are are two locations.
/aliases
/scripts/alias/
What have you changed in the Py file and why? Migh as well as add it to the plugin properly.
I have just tried cross EPG on a different receiver using pure2, no crash.
Hopefully your crash log will show problem
The log is on your receiver. Only you have access to it. Are you able to upload it to the forum so others can see the problem and hopefully assist?
Isn't it available on their plugin server using the receiver?
Can we add these?

Stage 2: install softcams
Once you install the softcam feed, restart the receiver.
To install softcams:
Menu > Plugins > Green (download plugins) > scroll to softcams and press OK> Select the one you want and complete installation
The satellites.xml file is not used for tuning. It is used for validating positions and scanning. There really is no need for settings to include it.
Just in case you are not aware, you can install xmlupdate (in system plugins), you can then update the xml file that the OE-A images use directly. If that file does not have the satellites, then there is something wrong somewhere as it is built every Saturday from Lyngsat
however /etc/enigma2 doesn't have the file.......
/etc/enigma2 will only have the satellites.xml file if you put one in there. or you use an ipk that is configured to do so. It is a user file, it is not a system file.
I have just flashed pure2 image and allowed it to unpack the defaultsat file, there isn't a satllites.xml file in etc/enigma2
Vhannibal plugin messes around with the satellites.xml file, I cant remember which location though. Are you sure you are not using his plugin/s or settings?
Until Pure2 cherry pick this
https://github.com/openatv/eni…35de9985675247e8816a8a671
You can remove the default sat using this command
init 4 && sleep 10 && rm -f /etc/enigma2/lamedb && rm -f /etc/enigma2/*.tv && rm -f /etc/enigma2/*.radio && rm -f /etc/enigma2/*.del && init 3
Why would an image team add a file to a user location?
The one in /etc/tuxbox is the system version. PurE2 uses the same file as other OEA teams as far as I know.
The one in /etc/enigma2 is the user one. It doesn't get updated by image updates. It takes precedence over the system one.
The difficulty is that nobody knows what you installed. If you had been installed the right one for the image, you would have been able to uninstall it using the option in plugin browser.
Post a link to the exact file you installed.
Secondly, people normally replace/rename the binary. Not alter the camscripts.
OpenATV one here
