Look there's no mystery here. I have Oscam-emu (r11353) here decrypting PV and biss fine. The problem is I can't seem to find a newer version that I can ftp into the box and run instead of the older version.

I've read the guides and followed suggestions. The version you posted installed and ran but I believe it is plain Oscam and not Oscam-emu.

I'm convinced now that many posted versions have been renamed along the way and so will just have to try and try until I find a working version for my box/cpu.

No I'm not looking for it to stop working for some bizarre reason. It's working in that it runs. but it won't decrypt.

And as far as I can tell Oscam is NOT Oscam-emu as regular Oscam will not recognize an emu as a reader which is why Oscam "patched" becomes Oscam-emu or one of its various siblings.

EDIT: Ok so I looked back over this thread and all though there are several references to "Oscam-emu" the title doesn't state exactly that so perhaps I'm to blame for some of the miscommunication but really I'm far from "new" to satellite and could do without the attitude.

EDIT2: So I changed the thread title to indicate we are talking about Oscam-emu and not regualar Oscam and in doing so saw that I DID post this thread in the OSEMU/OSCAM-EMU section so take that for what it's worth.

Ok so was away for the weekend got back and had another look at this. If I'm not mistaken this is Oscam and NOT Oscam-emu, is that right ?

That one worked, brother! Reporting in the Oscam webif version 11391. Much obliged !!

I have a working oscam but it's 11353 that's why I'm trying to find a newer working binary. Thanks for your help I will keep trying other binaries until I find one that works.

The name of the new binary is "oscam" and the name of the working binary is "oscam_atv_emu" so in the start script it is "oscam_atv_emu"I just changed the name of the binary from "oscam" to "oscam_atv_emu" so everything matches so this is not the problem.

I put "su root" in front of that command and it came back with "cannot execute binary file" so perhaps it IS incompatible.

So I transferred the file over again but this time went to the webif and opened a terminal and ran /usr/bin/oscam_atv_emu and got this:

sh: /usr/bin/oscam_atv_emu: No such file or directory

This seems to be at the core of why I can't ftp a file over and get it to run. What's up with that ?

Many times if I install an ipk I can't find the resulting installed file, is that normal ? Sometimes an icon is created under plugins, sometimes you have to go Plugins/download but other times it seems the installed name is different and/or I can't find it. Where is a "feed",ipk supposed to go ?

Did not work. "No active cam" message. The one that works is from this feed.

The one I've tried goes by this filename: oscam-svn11391-arm_v7-webif-emu The Note.txt file that is in the rar is different than the one you posted but still written by juli13 not sure how significant that is.

Will ftp this one over and see if it will run.

That still did not work. The file was downloaded from here, compiled by juli13 but I can't find the link.

Where did you obtain your updated binfile from? and what are you using oscam on...ubuntu linux machine or an octagon e2 box..

Might be something simple like the bin requiring simplebuild script commands or as said above wrong file selected.

Bin files were downloaded from here for an Octagon SF4008. Scripts are already installed from previous Oscam, I'm just trying to upgrade the binary.

Quote from jojoz

Did you transfer it with ftp with bin option or auto? You should use transfer type bin not auto.

What ? Where is this setting ??

Ok I see it now under "Transfer type". It was on Auto, will switch it to Binary and see if that changes anything.

Nothing changed. I've read others have the same problem but I guess no one ever found a reason for it.

Will only matter again when I go to upgrade the bin file.

Good idea will try it.

Oh and I'm using an Octagon SF4008.

Here's what I'm doing

Stop currently running oscam-emu

Ftp to usr/bin

Change name of working oscam-emu

Copy new oscam-emu to usr/bin and change name to match

Change file permissions to 755

Reboot box

Go to softcam panel and choose the softcam

Start the cam

"No active cam" message appears

I notice the new oscam-emu I transfer over has different Owner/Group permissions than the old one, not sure if that matters ? The working one is 1000 1000 and the new one is 0 0.

Thought maybe it was because I was using a Ubuntu machine so tried on a Windows machine and it was the same problem.

What can I do to get this to work ?

Surely someone must know if this is possible ?? If I get this figured out I will move on to stream relay but first things first. Thanks for any help.

I've tried about every combination and permutation of oscam-emu and even ncam and can't stream anything to my pc. I know the sf4008 needs stream relay to work on the box itself but shouldn't I be able to stream to my pc ?
