Thanks stevejo, your reply is much appreciated.:thumb:

I wondered out of curiosity could the following firewall DOS Defence settings affect the response times from cardsharing servers and thus produce occasional glitches/freezes and if so which ones should I disable (they are all currently enabled to be blocked) ?

DoS defense Setup

Enable DoS Defense
Enable SYN flood defense Threshold packets / sec
Timeout sec
Enable UDP flood defense Threshold packets / sec
Timeout sec
Enable ICMP flood defense Threshold packets / sec
Timeout sec
Enable Port Scan detection Threshold packets / sec
Block IP options Block TCP flag scan
Block Land Block Tear Drop
Block Smurf Block Ping of Death
Block trace route Block ICMP fragment
Block SYN fragment Block Unassigned Numbers
Block Fraggle Attack

Ha ha, got it mckee25 - had to uninstall the 9848 version I had, reboot box, install enigma2-plugin-softcams-oscam-svn10041-emu_openpli_4.0_all.ipk and reboot box final time.

In the webif it shows up as OSCam r10041 but in the OpenPLi Softcam Setup it shows as 'Current cardserver: oscam svn9912'

I have Options in OpenPLi Softcam setup as follows:

Enable Auto-camd - no
Select Softcam - None
Select Card Server - oscam

All channels are clearing ok using local card and remote servers.

Just need to get the better picture quality channels back, I wonder when Oscam will work with the new pairing method LOL, mind you if I did subscribe to those better picture quality channels legit, would they still clear in my enigma2 receiver using oscam 10041 and legit local card ?

Give the attached file a try buddy.

Tried to install this and it installed ok but when opening softcam manager it reports it as a different version to the file (10038), reported as 99xx version

Could someone please provide me with Oscam-10038-svn-emu as an IPK installer file or alternatively provide me with a download link for this.

I will be using it with OpenPLi 3.9.7

Many thanks,

Tim

Sorry to sort of hijack this thread but where can I download Oscam SVN 10015 please ?

Thanks nano, understand now (I think)

Forgive me for beating around the bush again but is it possible to get Oscam to send the requests to the first server and to set a timeout so that if it doesn't respond or the pictures freezes for example, then after that send the requests to the second server, in other words (if I'm making sense and understand) make it wait longer to get a reply before it moves on to the next server.

The reason I am asking is that I was concerned that Oscam may be sending to many requests to the servers and thus be overloading the suppliers servers, but if that is not going to be an issue then I guess I can just leave it, any comments/feedback appreciated :32_002:

I am using a Technomate TM-Nano2 Super loaded with OpenPLi 3.9.7 and Oscam 9848.

I have a local card and 2 N lines loaded in the oscam.server which all work well with one small problem as follows:

On the channels that I do not subscribe to Oscam switches automatically to the N lines, however it will no stay on any one of the N lines for more than 1 minute, it keeps switching to the other N line and then constantly switching between the two N lines, can someone suggest a solution please so that it stays on one of the N lines ?

Hi folks,

Just looking for some view on the above box. Is it a good/capable trouble free box that will do a good job running the VIX image?
Is the Nano 2T super worth the extra £30 for the speed?

I have had a Nano-2T in the past and then moved on to a Vu+ Solo2 and finally on to my current box a Technomate TM-Nano2 Super and I must say this box is much quicker than the 2T was, startup is faster, channel scrolling is faster, overall a more responsive box. One thing that used to crash my 2T was the Cross EPG guide download, but the Super box works smoothly with this no problem. Definitely worth the extra £30 in my eyes !

Just for reference the Vu+ Solo2 was more expensive and all in all is no quicker than the TM-Nano2 Super, so thumbs up from me for a TM-Nano2 Super !

Hope this helps.

That probably answers my thoughts on why the other channels clear ok without glitching, but Setanta Ireland, Setanta 1 and Box Nation keep freezing and with high ECM's.

Another thing, have you tried using the Rytec UK XEPGD repacked, as the EPG guide source instead of the XMLTV version. It downloads much quicker and I found using that version did not crash my Vu+ Solo2 box.

The Rytec XEPGD version is within the Cross EPG section.

Clyde: I also previously had a problem with the Cross EPG import, where it would also crash my Vu+ Solo2. I now still use Cross EPG, however I found a solution in that I now have to set the provider as 'Rytek UK XMLTV (XEPGDB repacked).

Note that the provider is not in the XMLTV list but in the XEPGDB providers list.

I found using this imported the guide much quicker, did not crash my box and updates daily in standby mode successfully.

Remember when you select this provider you must first deselect the original Rytek XMLTV provider in the XMLTV providers list.

After having problems trying to use **Y local card and Newcamd & CCcam lines together in Oscam and after trying many different configurations via internet search engines I have decided to post my working configuration for Oscam for others to use too.

For your information I am using a Technomate TM-Nano 2T with OpenVIX 0.41 with Oscam 1.20+svn9620-r13 and I found the Oscam plugin via the OpenVIX feeds. This configuration will work with a local **Y card and Newcamd and CCcam lines together, meaning that any channels on your card that you do not subscribe to will automatically switch over to your N, CWS or C lines.

In order for you to edit the Oscam configuration files (below) I highly recommend you do search engine search for 'Notepad++' which is free to download, install and use and is a great simple program for editing Oscam config files.

Secondly you will obviously need to have Oscam installed on your Enigma2 satellite receiver and in my case I downloaded it within OpenVIX from the feeds and the version I have for Oscam is 1.20+svn9620-r13

Ok so first please note that after downloading the attached 3 files and then after opening all 3 files in Notepad++ you will see that in some files there are notes in '<>' like this for example <change this note>, for those things you need to amend the items yourself before you save the files to your computer before copying the files to your satellite receiver. One final thing to note is that in the 'oscam.server' file some lines start with a '#' which means that those lines are just text and will not configure anything in oscam so if you use either C lines from your supplier you will need to remove the #'s from the 3rd [reader] section in the oscam.server file. If you use MGCAMD lines from your supplier then you will need to remove the '#'s from the 2nd [reader] section in the oscam.server file and if you use a local card and a C line and a MGCAMD line at the same time then just remove all the '#'s from each line in the oscam.server file.

Once you have edited the attached 'oscam.server' file and then saved it, it will then be ready to ftp across to your satellite receiver. Oscam.server is the only file that needs to be edited, the 'oscam.user' and 'oscam.conf' files should not need editing.

All 3 of the attached files should be copied in to your satellite receiver within the 'config' folder and this 'config' folder can be found in /etc/tuxbox/.

When the files have been copied, just restart oscam and your channels should clear.

Umm, I'm getting ECM time of between 0.125 and 0.500 right now on TCM (channel 341).

Using MGCAMD 1.38 softcam, OpenVIX-41 on a Technomate TM-Nano2 Super on BT Infinity 80MB connection.

Hi and thanks in advance for any help and assistance.

I am trying to use my original $ly card in my receiver, however it does not seem to be working as it just uses my suppliers source line.

My setup is a Technomate TM-Nano2 Super using OpenPLi 3.9.7 20140829 and I am using MGCAMD v1.35a and CWS lines.

Could someone please explain how I should setup mg_cfg and the newcamd.list files so that it reads the card first rather than the servers ?

I already have my boxkey to hand.

Thanks in advance.
