There's nothing wrong with using something other than the DVBAPI, but why would you when you can?

oscam.conf:

[dvbapi]
enabled                       = 1
au                            = 1
pmt_mode                      = 4
request_mode                  = 1
listen_port                   = 9001
delayer                       = 60
user                          = dvbapi
read_sdt                      = 2
write_sdt_prov                = 1
extended_cw_api               = 1
boxtype                       = pc

oscam.user:

[account]
user                          = dvbapi
au                            = emulator,sky_uk #edit as needed
group                         = 1,2,3,4,5,64 #edit as needed

Thanks for this.

Just noticed a Russian IP (178.66.131.135) trying to connect to my server with Arabic usernames (ﴧpos).

The IP is already reported as a nuisance IP online, so must just sweep public IP's looking to find stuff.

You don't want any CCcam accounts on the TVH side.

Just enable DVBAPI and point it at your OSCam.

Is anyone with an Allente card interested in exchanging lines? I have a Sky UK card, PM me if interested.

I understand they are still working, as people are still selling lines online.

But the gtmedia forum seems to have removed mars firmware.

So is mars not officially supported by gtmedia any more?

Sorry Chris but I don't know that answer as all the boxes I have are viark and qviart.

No worries.

I was just curious, not looking to buy or anything, just seeing what's changed since I last looked.

I just took a look on another site i'm on and this software GTcombo_Mars_V3.3.7_25112024.zip was available so it looks like they are still supporting the boxes.

Yes, I have seen firmwares posted on other forums by random users, but I was talking about the official gtmedia forum.

I'm sure they used to be posted on there, and now I see no mention… unless I'm blind?

I saw something online about the mars team splitting up or something like that?

You will get the free channels on 28.2e as you know, but you will not get any of the paid channels via any free c lines downloaders for that satellite. The sd version are available but they are from commercial servers and we cannot discuss this on the forum or point you in the correct direction. The Hd versions of the channels are available but you would need to take a look at the viark satellite boxes or gtmedia boxes.

Are the gtmedia boxes still working?

I looked at their forum the other day and all references to mars firmware were removed.

They appear to have been removed: https://www.flysat.com/en/satellite/telstar-12-vantage

This will get TVH and OSCam connected:

group                         = 1,2,3,4,5,64

add to oscam.conf:

[dvbapi]
enabled                       = 1
au                            = 1

extended_cw_api               = 1
boxtype                       = pc

clines go in oscam.server formatted like this:

[reader]
label                         = <NAME>
protocol                      = cccam
device                        = <HOST>,<PORT>
user                          = <USER>
password                      = <PASSWORD>
inactivitytimeout             = 30
group                         = 1
ccckeepalive                  = 1
audisabled                    = 1

Also bear in mind that the colour code just shows the best beam.

Don't expect to get a Middle East beam just because the sat shows green (because you are in the centre of the European beam, for example).

I get 53 E to 30 W no problem on my 80 cm.

But I don't expect to get anything that I am outside the footprint of.

I believe technically there is stuff I should be able to get even further east, but there's a house in the way (I think).

EDIT:

Go here and have a look: https://www.lyngsat.com/europe.html

It changes based on your location.

Here's what I see:

Green should be no issue, yellow might need a larger dish and orange means you need a massive dish and luck, basically.

Based on the intended footprints, I doubt you'll get anything other than the European beam.

Maybe someone that's actually tried it can give a definitive answer.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

You need to make sure the user is sending AU too.

You can enable globally (but the docs say this is bad?) or you can list the readers.

I'm no expert and I have no idea what the OP is after.

There were reports that people with 2.5+ m dishes were able to get signal on the MENA beams.

I don't think there's anything else above the horizon that there's any real chance of getting.

Certainly no major packages I can think of.

Maybe c-band is worth looking in to?

Lots of PV on the American Atlantic sats, and some have a footprint over the UK.

I can't imagine there's anything you will get with the extra 20 cm?

Check footprints: https://www.lyngsat.com/europe.html

If you are nowhere near then you are going to need a much, much bigger dish… and luck!

That's the one I was talking about.

I guess it depends on where you live and what you want to receive.

I have heard great things about those Italian dishes (forgot the brand) and the channel master dishes.

Personally, I just have a basic Technomate dish… receives everything I'd expect it to.

Not that I'm ungrateful, but posting patches here isn't really what I am after.

I want somewhere like GitHub where my automatic builder can grab it from.

It tries to build OSCam-EMU every time OSCam is updated, daily.

Is updating the patch an automated git action, or are you having to actually know what you are doing and modify the patch manually?

EDIT: To be clear, the version of OSCam-EMU I have now is working perfectly (Version: 2.24.11-11846-802 Git: ae6e55a9).

I just like to maintain an up-to-date image for the wider sat community.

Yes, that's where I got the patch from.

It looks they used to fetch the patch from the closed repo, but now they are maintaining it locally.
