  • Loadbalancer in OSCam - Help please

    Hi all,


    I have NO Local cards - just remote Peers. I thought it would be a good idea to use the Loadbalancer so that my OSCam server would not be requesting cards from Every one of my Peers but when I turned it on for Fastest First, the settings I choose in "Number of Best Readers", "Number of Best Readers per caid" and "Number of Fallback Readers" gave crazy Timeouts. The times when up from 0.2 or 0.3 to 7 secs.


    What values would people suggest for these parameters please - or should I just not bother at all with the Loadbalancer ?

  • How to "Oscam check script"

    I was playing around with this idea and a simpler way might simply be to watch your WebInterface. Can I maybe suggest inclusion of the following


    Code
    elif
! curl -s -digest -o -u <user>:<password> "http://192.168.1.2:8888" |grep -c "Access denied." >/dev/null
then
/usr/bin/killall -9 oscam
/var/local/oscam -b &
echo `date "+%d/%m/%y %R Web Interface NOT working, restarting...."` >> /var/log/oscam/oscam_check.log


    There is a way to run the curl properly and get the full webpage but in this instance, it works out simpler by it not working and you will only get an "Access denied." prompt if the WebInterface is still running.

  • oscam cachex3

    Quote from ferdi

    sorry,
    i don't use CSP and cccam,
    however cacheex is not server and even less client
    the concept of cacheex is to exchange the cache between two servers


    But is CSP not required as part of the Cachex3 config ?

  • oscam cachex3

    Quote from ferdi

    wrong,
    raspberry pi run cacheex, it works very well


    Any chance that you could post or PM me an oscam.conf file and also that of .user and .server ?


    In OSCam > Config > Cache do I use a different CSP port to the one I defined in CCCam ? And how is this CSP port referenced ? Is the CSP port used in a C-Line in the way the CCCam port number is used ?

  • oscam cachex3

    I have a Raspberry Pi running OSCam and planned on testing CacheEx on my Amiko Alien2 which is a Reader from my Pi but the Amiko does not see to have support for CacheEx so I assume I need to install a later version of Oscam - it's running OSCAM 1.20-unstable_svn build #7983. Is there a later build I could download or do I just need to do something to turn it ON ?

  • Oscam server setup guide - Raspberry Pi from scratch.

    Hi all,


    I need some assistance please. I have followed the guild I believe exactly and OSCam is up and running. I already have OSCam running on an Amiko Alien2 and so I added a Reader to the Pi for a User I setup from the Amiko and all seems to work OK.


    I have an external c-Line in my Amiko which works fine too but when I changed it and set it up on the Pi, the Status = Error. It correctly read the DNS for for C-Line hostname so I am lost as to why it worked OK on my Amiko but not then on the Pi.


    Any ideas anyone ?

  • Group setting in Readers and Users - Clarification needed please

    Hi all,


    If I was setting up multiple readers for c-Lines and then having a client able to read from any number of these c-Lines, should the Readers be setup as


    oscam.server



    or should it be



    For the clients, I have


    oscam.user

    Code
    [account]
user=username
pwd=password
au=1
group= 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
cccreshare=1


    Is this correct ?


    Thanks in advance

  • Can't get OSCAM working on HDMU Image

    Can anyone help me with this. It's driving me crazy.


    A mate has given me a C-Line and I've entered the details in the oscam.server file. However, all I get is a Black Screen. I have


    a. downloaded the OSCAM8297 Plugin
    b. set plugin to Autostart
    c. checked in OSCAM WebInterface and Status says CONNECTED


    From default installed values, should I amend any other file other than the oscam.server ?


    BTW, after my first attempt at getting nothing, I un-installed OSCAM and re-installed but there are no longer files in /var/keys - so where would they be stored now ? I'm configuring using the WebInterface (http://box_IP:8888)

  • Auto Run the AutoTimer plugin (On the HDMU Image) - is it possible ?

    Hi all,


    I'm runing the excellent HDMU image on my Alien2. Thank god I don't need to see that Spark stuff anymore. I have the AutoTimer plugin instaled but I keep forgetting to go back into the plugin to get it to re-search the EPG.


    I just wonder if it's possible to run it like a Cron job, maybe Daily, for it to keep the Timer list updated permanently, without human intervention ?
