Where did you get it from? How much?

Did you get a rs232 attachment with it? (little board with 2 9pin adapters either end)

I think you may need to install this?

When you flashed the bootloader did the Duo panel say updating from Usb although it is quick and then remove and reboot?

Is it a clone or Orginal?

James20,

Shouldnt really post here mate as this is just for plugin updates e.t.c!

But in answer to your question have a look here

Steps are the same as flashing an image but it should be all in there for you to follow!

Ps Just drop a quick introduction before anyone pulls you up on it!

If you want to start a thread/ask a question go to the relevent topic area e.g Vu Addons, Bootloaders .e.t.c and post a thread there!

hope this helps anyway!

Beat me Master G :)

Latest ones are in the Openbox Channel list section mate!

They are updated as much as possible

Thank the relevant authors though, i am just letting you know where they are!

Campbell,

Probably should of stated that just to save on confusion lol :)

I wont go over the ins and outs of clones e.t.c as i am yet to find a company in the UK (even Europe) that actually makes and builds these components/boxes themselves from scratch (all in house)

i actually brought a apparent 'Orginal' only to find a Quality Control slip in Chinese so you make your assumptions on that?

In answer to the actual question i supposed you could look at the following

Sub £100

***/Open boxes s11,s12 F3 (F3 looks best as has more components/faster processor on back but is new, S11 is more stable)
You will be limited to GUI on these, EPG and Recording available but dont expect anything fancy although F3 UI looks ok.

Eaglebox - Through our site sponsor SAT-SHOP.CO.UK (Basic box but you are also buying piece of mind as support e.t.c will be there)

Just Over £100 - £150
Then your into

Dreamboxes - Very popular, (i dont have one) but i think in general more can be done/added to these then the cheaper boxes, loads of support

Gigablue - Well supported more funcionality, nice box e.t.c

VU Duo - Not much more you can add on the VU range, (However this is in the list as the Clone Price not the as an Original Supplied by UK e.t.c prob £50-£100 more)

So the question now probably is, what sort of functionality does he want, is he bothered e.t.c?

Have fun choosing

Have you tried both uploading/manage from USB? and/or using the UI in the Menu (I think it will be Cams or Network settings) and creating a c Line that way?

Just a thought?

Alternatively he should be able to input a c line through Network Protocol (think its that) in the Box Menu

You will see Network or Cams across top

Select this and go into Cccam option (may need password 0000)

2 option (Manual and upload from USB) choose Manual

Enter your details here

Host
Port
User
Pass

Save and Activate - Restart box and should be connected!

Hope it helps as an alternative

Only think the Cotton Candy and Ninja Block that will run on an Android platform, the rest BeagleBoard and Panda Board should be ok with Ubuntu, Debain e.t.c (Linux)

Think i read the Intel one may have a tie up with Windows but dont quote me on that!

All good fun anyways!

Yeah i think this will be next big(small) thing!
5 on the horizon

Five alternatives to Raspberry Pi | Linux User

And i know intel are planning something big with this aswell so that could be 6

Banny

Duo's and by all accounts the VU range are excellent bits of kits, and worth every penny (clone or otherwise!) but thats a seperate issue!....Support is excellent for them on here also which is an added advantage!

I havent had the pleasure of using a DM800SE but unless you told me it produces Gold! id be very pushed to change my DUO! unless it was for an Ultimo of course!!

I think the GigaBlues are a cheaper/on par alternative but for me VU DUO all the way!

Have fun choosing!

Yeah should pick it up automatically mate

You could either edit thru server using nano command

nano /var/etc/oscam.server -very basic editor but does the trick,

Or use another Pc(windows) and ftp files across to server!

E.g edit file in say notepad ++ and use winscp to transfer files across
you can use Putty to connect to your server and run commands from there also!

I find this way a lot easier

Try the other way then just so we can see if thats the problem.

In terminal - lsusb

In oscam.server input the device is (device = 001:001)

In Oscam Webif - Shutdown and Restart

Leave a couple of mins and log back in to webif

Veiw log and let me know if it picks it up

Have you tried with the

device = 001:002

Just restart oscam after Not server as the port will change?

Post your Oscam.server file and ill see if it differs from mine

Whoop Whoop! Well Done mate!

Thread Closed

Cool,

Yeah this mat be what your missing, you may need to edit the settings!

Thats all i can think of tbh,

A user had a similar problem and Master G suggested this?
Post Here

Give it and go, if a problem post back tonight!

Laters

Sorry ignore last comment did you use ....... (sorting 2 things out at once) :)

Have you got these lines in your oscam.server - if not exact change them to below (Master G for Thanks if Works)

protocol = pcscdevice = 0

Arrrghhh,

Card in correct way?
Do you get anything in the Oscam Log file?
Did you use device 001:002 or SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0, USB1 e.t.c

Andy,
I had to try because this was doing my head in now!

Just a quick checklist (your on debian now right)
Have you run/installed with no errors?

You have the file opensc.conf in etc/opensc/ folder

The easiest way i found to edit file was open it through winscp and edit the file, you see the whole file then!
Look for or right click and find the three lines (there are all over the file)

Find (login) Find (emulation) find (pcsc)

When you see the lines that look indentical delete the # symbol to make the line readable/live
Remove openct from line reader_drivers = openct, pcsc, ctapi; (ensure this is also unhashed #)

Save the file

Ensure that the correct port is defined in oscam.server

Reboot and it should find it and work?

Is you card reader working? Plug into windows pc and see if it installs drivers and Green light shows up on reader?
