Of course it is possible... but it would be better to solve the problem of Oscam freezing than to write unnecessary scripts that will cause temporary LAG anyway. It depends on what encoding you are using and what SAT provider you are using.

If you use IRDETO and are in CZ/SK, please write me a message... because unfreezing can be lengthy. I don't even have a basic understanding of other coding systems and I can't help with others.

All those troubleshooting tips are not about causing damage. They were just for troubleshooting purposes. :-P

Hi.

OK, so you are not using a VPN network. But it could also be on the WiFi router... either using a VPN network on the router or a poorly configured router regarding the internet gateway and the like. But I'm just guessing now, I'm not saying that it is.

Have you tried downloading links from your PuTTY terminal via a web browser on your PC ? Did it work ?

As for the WGET command, the Linux system is case sensitive. So you have to use lowercase letters. For example, use this form:

wget -d -O /tmp/test_file.gz URL_LINK
-d for debug

-O to redirect output file

URL_LINK to replace with the URL address to download the file

No sources are working for you, as I see in the linux shell / log. Not just this mynonpublic source with softcams.

So it could be an internet connection error, in your set top box. Are you probably using some VPN and your gateway or DNS settings have changed? Try downloading that http link that you see in the logs, manually, via a web browser on your PC. You can also try downloading with the help of the WGET command, on a Linux set-top box, to see what error it shows. Be sure to check your network settings in your set-top box.

2 things.

yes, I have checked the two points.

Unix (LF) is activated (other files in Notepad++ also work).

permissions are set to 755.

in other words:

is there a way or command i can put in the script to grab the command from this menu “restart” (yellow button)?

as you can see, a small info window appears (Bearbeite) and a loading bar runs through. after that it always works.

Hi.

Sorry if I'm replying to an old post.

You've probably already solved this. But I'll ask anyway... and I'll be happy to help.

Sorry but once again... what is not working ? And what exactly do you want to achieve ? If you don't know English, please use translate.google.com, on the left side select your native language and on the right side English. Then copy the English text (translated text) here into the discussion.

Hi. I don't understand. You can also use the opkg manager, because as far as I know, softcam packages are present in every OpenPLi. However, after installing the softcam (e.g. Oscam), you have to additionally rewrite the default configuration files according to how you need it for your satellite decoding card.

opkg update
opkg list | grep oscam
opkg install <whole-package-name>

So in your case it must have been a different problem. Because OSCAM works OK for me - on curreent OpenATV 7.6 build. Currently only CCCAM 2.3.0 doesn't work for me on OpenATV 7.6. But OSCAM works OK - for now.

If the old CCCAM works again, I will go back to it of course.

That is not possible, because it is closed source code :-). Only the original author of the code (binary softcam file CCCAM 2.3.0) could do that.

LOL ... I don't want 7.5.1 because it's outdated. I want to use the current Enigma :-D.

Because if I use Oscam as a client + Oscam as a card server, then "timeout 5000" problems arise there.

I have tried many things for this problem. Dozens of modifications to the Oscam configuration.

I have tried various communication softcam protocols (cccam, newcamd, camd35, ...).

I have also tried changing various build versions of Oscam on both the client and server sides. Today it is unrealistic, because a private Oscam is needed for Irdeto Layer-2B.

I have really tried a lot... but nothing helped. It only helped when I started using only CCCAM as a softcam client. But still various problems arose, with various versions of CCCAM softcams. CCCAM version 2.3.8 cut the image. CCCAM version 2.3.2 caused a different problem (I don't remember exactly what problem). Only CCCAM 2.3.0 worked perfectly as a client softcam. It's funny, but it's true.

I wanted to write to the creators of Oscam, get a DEBUG, etc. but that's a long, complicated job for months. The creators will request specific DEBUGs, I have to get them and send them. Then the creators will make the fix and give me Oscam back for testing. Then, after testing, I will provide feedback again. And so on. That's very annoying and time-consuming.

OK... but why ?

Does this mean that I'll be switching to OpenPLi after many years ? :)

Hi.

After updating OpenATV 7.6, in 2026-02-06, CCCAM 2.3.0 (old softcam) stopped working as a softcam-client.

I used it for a long time on Vu+ Solo SE V2 (mipsel chipset). I used the cccam 2.3.0 binary file for a very long time because in the case of Oscam it showed "timeout 5000" errors, always at random times within 1-3 days. So from then on I started using only CCCAM (cccam 2.3.0 binary for mipsel) as a softcam-client, and then everything was fine. Unfortunately, many CCCAM editions (versions) did not work correctly, except for this one ver. 2.3.0. I would like to use the cccam 2.3.0 binary softcam file as a client again.

Debug cccam 2.3.0 shows nothing... it just runs. Camd.socket exists and is present - it is visible as a shortcut in the Linux system.

I feel as if the cccam softcam does not communicate well with camd.socket or as if OpenATV does not receive ECM requests from the satellite reception for the need of their decoding.

OSCam as a softcam paradoxically still works. But I do not want to use OSCam as a client... because I had big problems with it in the past (the decoding card runs in IRDETO mode).

Does anyone know what can be done about it ? Captain maybe ?

Please... and thanks !

Try looking here - http://www.ourdreambox.com/ubb…at&Number=25303#Post25303 , maybe it will help, but I don't know otherwise. I don't use Emu and I don't know much about it. I found the link in this thread: oscam emu vps ubuntu 20.04

Actually, it should depend on the architecture if you want a binary. But if you use a compiler and build Oscam in Ubuntu manually, that's fine too.

Do you need an EMU module / patch ? If not, you can use SimpleBuild: https://git.streamboard.tv/com…/installation/simplebuild (Oscam is now hosted on GitLab).

For Linux OS, it is better to download Oscam from the feed of the relevant Linux OS. Instead, look for another source and procedure. Do not use binaries and installers. So try to find Oscam installation procedures, valid for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat) and it should work.

Hi.

I have unverified information that the Picon.cz website is supposedly being redesigned now (it is hosted by Ellano.sk - thanks to them). However, this is unverified information. Unfortunately, I am not in direct contact with Chocholousek. So I can't say for sure. I have no contact with Chocholousek, since Skype ceased its existence.

In any case, it is quite likely that the redesign of the Picon.cz website has really begun, because its design has started to change.

If so, then occasional outages of the storage server may be possible :).

However, the update after a long time on 4. January 2026 does not yet seem to be 100% reliable.

I already mentioned this in the Chocholousek's picons thread (Picons by Chocholoušek), which is assigned to updates or also to reporting new picons by users.

So... I tried to download it... and it's a FAKE !

More precisely... there are poor quality picons ! Poor quality and confused work. I think, this is not Chocholousek's work !

For example, picons for 23.5E position:

WAU HD

- the logo is now cyan, instead of the original orange color (it is wrong !)

- the cyan logo is old, from year 2021 ! but now a new logo is used - with a round font type + in orange color

- the abbreviation symbol "HD" literally looks like some additional "sticker" inserted in a sloppy way into the graphics !

correct in old 2025 package: 1_0_19_334F_C93_3_EB0000_0_0_0 (WAU HD - correct, 2025).png
wrong in new 2026 update:1_0_19_334F_C93_3_EB0000_0_0_0 (WAU HD - wrong, 2026).png

Nova Cinema HD

- this logo has changed, but it does not correspond at all to the channel logo that the Nova Cinema HD channel broadcasts on the Skylink / M7 provider, at position 23.5E
correct in 2025 old package: 1_0_19_3395_C9D_3_EB0000_0_0_0 (Nova Cinema HD - correct, 2025).png
wrong in new 2026 update: 1_0_19_3395_C9D_3_EB0000_0_0_0 (Nova Cinema HD - wrong, 2026).png

EDIT:

2026-01-07
So... Chocholousek wrote on the Picon.cz discussion that the indexing file was probably corrupted and that the problem would be solved with a new update.

Surely it was Chocholousek ? The update of January 4, 2026 can be seen on the website https://picon.cz/.

But why didn't it appear in any discussion forum (for example: chocholousek ) ?

Couldn't someone else have uploaded it ? Someone who also has access to the storage server ? But I don't know who else.

I don't know CONAX as I wrote, but a friend has a CONAX card that can be shared normally... in Oscam without the need for an EMU patch/mod.

The EMU patch/mod is used for certain types of encoding (for example BISS), but CONAX is not among them. It is actually an emulator of card. So no CONAX card has anything to do with it in that case.
