I found it easiest to just use NCam rather than OScam. It's basically the same but easier to configure for PV

Ok can you please send me the ncam link?

Thanks i will let you know when everything works perfect

Me too. No AFN since last evening.
Tried ncam for arm. No webif? Nothing decoded.
Also none of my other pv channels decoded. Tried swapping key files from the prev. version of 11438.
Looked for an oscam emu arm with hash 20-21. No luck
Using vuplus-team.com-oscampowervu-arm_OpenAtv-Rv-11438_all.ipk.
Anyone that can help us?

WebIF is almost exactly the same. You do need to change all the config files from oscam to ncam, so oscam.server becomes ncam.server etc. I'm currently using ncam 7.1 downloaded from Ncam 7.1 compiled and patched by marouan & READ

Can you verify decoding of afn and do backed up and restored softcam.key files work to decode pv channels that did work with without changing the group/vpid format?

Same as panorama. AFN is up, no prime atlantic.
Now showing 2 OSCam<squared>11.438 in my Softcam Panel 2.0
Backed up my keys directory that had working pv channels on other sats. Now none of them work when pasted back in the softcam keys file.
Did not restore the other files in the directory.
Removed my prev. oscam with opkg remove, rebooted, installed the ipk.

I sat on a few of them over the past bit, getting cw's, no decode.
Log parse:

• 2018/11/20 16:01:03 133CD971 p (cccam) cccam_server configuration error!
• 2018/11/20 16:01:07 74E34A14 c (dvbapi) Demuxer 0 no enabled matching ecmpids -> decoding is waiting for matching readers!
• 2018/11/20 16:01:16 133CD971 p (-) -- Skipped 1 duplicated log lines --

Any clues?

I've managed to remove this version of oscam. It was a bust.
opkg remove left traces of the start/stop files......those needed to be removed manually.
Reinstalled the previous oscampowervu-arm_OpenAtv-Rv-11438 and resored my SoftCam.key file.
Previous version wanted to use AFN-emulator to decode channels not AFN, and no decoding occurred.
AFN would except for a few already mentioned.
Channels coming in are using emulator reader.

Much thanks to Jenseneverest for his help.
Patience I guess for the guru's to get hash 20-21 and so on aced for my Zgemma H7 openatv 6.2.

your right, New OSCam svn11.438 Emu -r777

I'd like to try it but it's in tar.gz format.
I need an ipk for my Zgemma H7 arm.

How would oscam be used on a smart tv and routers?
And other devices besides set top boxes? It intrigues me.
Do European market televisions have satellite tuners built in?
Is or can any post processing/decoding be done after hdmi or in a TCP/IP stream?
Good questions?

Hi. Great site. I know it is predominantly European but I'd like to suggest a support forum for those "across the pond".
Many of us have existing C band dishes that are easily brought back to life and with the Linux receivers available out there, it's getting fun again.
I've only been back into this for a few months but the support from members here is simply amazing
Thanks!
What do you think?

I only run one at a time.

You cannot put the necessary cacheex lines, required for afn, into the regular powervu oscam or it won't work. Can only have cacheex in the afn oscam.server file.

...wayyyyy above my head.
as are many things in the configs.

wishing there was a place that explained it all in terms i could understand.

I understand. Make sure you do not put the cacheex lines I described into your current oscam.server or you will not be able to open any powervu channels. Use the instructions later on if/when you decide to watch afn.

Randy, this version works out of box to decode pv. No issues at all.
That was my struggle with the previous versions. Jenseneverest was patient enough to guide me through several things to no avail.
I just needed one channel to come in, 11438 was the ticket.
All that is needed now if to figure out how to read logs and what the settings in all of the keys directory mean.
So far it's just pv I have working. Once I discovered how to format the numerics after P 0000 & P00000000, I was getting more channels even with European keys posted here and there.

The files section in the webif will be extremely confusing for a long time.

Thanks!

For now I can say things are resolved.

Did you fix your afn dilemma? If not, here is how I do it.

1. Make a copy of your oscam. Rename it oscam-afn and ftp it to usr/bin/.

2. Make a copy of your configuration files including the SoftCam.Key, modify them accordingly (only need afn emu keys) and then put them into another folder such as /usr/oscam/afn/ Include the cacheex example below in your oscam.server file:

cacheex = 1

cacheex_maxhop = 1

cacheex_allow_request = 1

3. Get your oscam.emu from /etc/. Rename it to oscam-afn and change the configuration like this:

emuname = oscam-afn 11438

binname = oscam-afn

startcam = /usr/bin/oscam-afn -c /usr/oscam/afn/

stopcam = killall -9 oscam-afn

ftp it back into /etc/

Restart your zgemma. You will now be able to select which oscam you want to run. Run the normal one for everything except afn and run the oscam-afn for afn channels. You can switch back and forth quickly by pressing "menu" - "OK" - "OK" & select which oscam you want to run, then press the GREEN BUTTON to restart oscam. There is also a way to use hotkeys but I find this way easy enough.

I had problems when I ran both of them at the same time!

Hope this helps........

Actually since I have been running 11438 everything is much more stable.
I'll look over your settings and compare mine.
11438 starts automatically and doesn't require a start and restart until it behaves in the panel.
If you could give me a tip as to why I would want to run more than 1 oscam/ncam that would be cool.
I had issues after installing the ipk that transfers plugins to my hdd. I lost all of the files I had pushed over to the root to install ipk's.....
Lost assess to create new directories, and removed it. Too late. things were screwed up.

Yesterday I flashed a newer stable image of openatv 6.2, updated, rebooted, and installed vuplus-team.com-oscampowervu-arm_OpenAtv-R-11438_all.ipk. Copied my keys folder over. Rebooted again.
After the initial start in the panel, it starts perfectly on every boot by itself.
Now the hunt for more working keys for the western sats from 47.5W to 131W continues!

Yawwn. It's early. More coffee...or tea for jensen.
It was a bit confusing for me and reading and searching for every key set I could find was exhausting. In the 2 months or so I've had my old dish set back up from years of setting.
I tried a few builds of Enigma2 for my receiver and settled back to OpenATV 6.2.
I'm using OScamPowervu11438. After trying several lower numbered versions I was surprised to find that it worked glitch free.
It was on a fresh install of openatv and I performed all of the updates before finding an ipk of 11438.

I found other versions were unstable in that I had to 'kick-start' it in the Softcam Panel repeatedly to get it (and keep it) working.
The key file is full of updated keys. AFN on 99W came in first. I was psyched....it simply popped in and worked.
But they are all keys for sats I cant get.

I think enigma 1969 is either very busy, or his language barrier for english is balky. He's the "guru".
Anyway he was the one who mentioned that if he can't see the sat, how can he help troubleshoot.

AFN is working for me. It is apparently is using keys for 9.0E but they work on 99W.
If your pv keys start with P 0000 or P 00000000, you need to fix that right away by inserting the SID in hex there.

If you start getting channels and do your edits from the ocsam webif, as the file gets bigger by oscam adding info automatically....

You'll get to a point where the file will no longer save. So you will have to edit the list using your favorite FTP application.

I'm not so great reading logs yet. And to be honest the ones I posted to get help were looked at and diagnosed in terms that were very confusing to me.
Even after reading the wiki. Because I'm new at this and it's quite detailed for such a small program.

I'd say this is a good place to start if you live this side of cheese and wine and....Guiness (yeahhhhhh)!

One last thing. Don't get a slap on the wrist here. Read the rules.
Your keys that work (or don't) may be like your secret fishing hole. Share them in PM's or here wisely.

When I first started here I was asked to post logs and screen shots.
One of the common comments was "If I can't see your satellite it will be hard to help fix your problem"
This is predominately a UK site. So the comment was true. Logs don't always help.
Guy's, you'll have to supply more info here or in PM's or we cant help you.
Simple.

that's what i'm using.
is it running in the softcam panel or webif?
what sat are you aimed at? can you get 99W galaxy 16?

i need help within softcam.key getting video loking up but audio continuing

what version of oscam are you using?

For right now yes. Working on finding a C/ku scalar and ku lnbf that works for sats on this side of the salty drink.
Jenseneverest you've been a great help getting me started.
I've been running ku here for several years but on static dishes.

I'm fairly new also.

What is your setup? What kind of dish?
You can view satellites with binoculars and without more info, you'll probably see as much.
I'm willing to give a few tips learned from a few generous members here.

Nobody really made anything clear to me in a post so I'm willing to give a tip.
My powervu softcam.key file has many channels that do what you're describing.
I just setup my keys in a format from ones posted on the net and figured this out:

; Group 0127W 127W Channels

P 01270007 00 0123456789ABCD ; Channel SID 0x07

P 01270007 01 0123456789ABCD ; Channel SID 0x07

P 01280008 00 0123456789ABCD ; Channel SID 0x08

P 01280008 01 0123456789ABCD ; Channel SID 0x08

Same key used for different channels (tiers as I call them).
Grouped as per satellite.
In an instance where the same key is used for many channels, increment P 0127XXXX by one to read P 0128XXXX and so on.
Channel SID is the last 4 digits (mine are the next channel on the sat).
Make sure that the leading 4 digits aren't used anyplace else in the file.

I'm open for suggestions too, but so far I've managed to get a key to open up to 5 different channels doing this.

If you want to install Kodi 17 - then this is the wrong thread to ask in. This thread is for KodiLite - which is a plugin to play (as well as possible) Kodi addons in enigma2 boxes where proper Kodi is not possible.

KodiLiteInstaller is a very small plugin which allows you to install KodiLite in usb or on external hdd. You then do not need to install KodiLite in flash memory. I hope this is clear. :)

As coder developer you're saying that KodiLite is only capable of plugins developed for full versions Kodi, but are tweaked for KodiLite?
The limitations of the Fire TV /Sticks out there certainly situations where a person can run out of internal storage memory and therefore dev's have made it possible to run apps on external storage.

Such is the status of enigma2 receivers. I wouldn't mind running "KodiHeavy" (17) with a build entirely on an external hdd.
Or at least learning how to make play (as well as possible) Kodi addons in enigma2 boxes on external storage.
Certainly you have ran low on disk space at one time or another and slapped in another hard drive in a pc to transfer files to and regain that space...
Yes? 8o

It is simple with KodiLite. Install using plugin KodiLiteIstaller from here :-Enigma2 Plugin KodiLiteInstaller for USB, External HDD and Normal Installation

Regards.

I wish it was simple. Please clarify.
I lost 1% of my internal storage just now with KodiLight 5.0.
Are you saying I need to install the 2.0 version of KodiLiteInstaller on top of or before KodiLight 5?

Once again, as others may want to do to maximize their internal storage I would like to run Kodi 17 entirely on the hdd and lose as little internal storage as possible.
Once that is achieved I would like to be able to install the attached build. The file and directory structure is a bit different than posted add-ons from this thread.

Thanks for your patience.plugin.program.IndominusWizard-1.1.zip

Lets see where this one goes. Not stagnant I hope.
I would like to install Kodi Krypton on my Zgemma H7. I'm currently using around 50% internal storage.
I have a 1 gig drive installed.

I know that Kodi lite can run from the hdd.
I'm getting ready to try version 5. Other versions were not so good and didn't play nice with the H7.

My Fire TV had a few apps installed to let me move and run apps from an external hdd.
It lets me run a Kodi build and saves the external storage.

Has anyone found a way to move and run, install and run ipk's to an external hdd on Enigma2 boxes?
