Hi.

Each Oscam config is tailor-made, so I can't give you my oscam-configuration.

I can only send you the universal Oscam configuration files, which you can download from me - from this discussion thread / post:

Then you have to add these to your "oscam.server" file, according to the format conversion:

Post

RE: How to setup Oscam.server on H 7 C box

The c-line format is:
C: host port user pass

Example:
C: server.myip.com 12000 foobar a1b2c3

Translated into oscam.server file:
(Code, 8 lines)


Of course you may need more settings in Oscam - such as adding a CAID to "oscam.server" (sometimes it helps - depending on the Oscam server setting). Then it is good to also define the user's dvbapi to the "oscam.user" + "oscam.conf" file if you also use some custom internal satellite cards ... and then you have to set other details - for the built-in card…

Finally, as I already wrote, it depends on many things, and one of them is the fact that if there are the same CAIDs, a deep configuration (more detailed) is needed.

Hi.

It's hard to advise until we see what LiveLog looks like... or what's actually going on there.

What do the other "oscam.*" configuration files look like except for the "oscam.server" file ? Did you change them ? Or do you only use the "oscam.server" file ? :)

Are these different CAIDs or the same ?

It could also be that you have several Oscam configuration files "oscam.conf" (configuration directories), from which Oscam selects the wrong configuration and always stays on the port that contains the next configuration file.

Usually, many service technicians for set-top boxes, set 83 port to softcam, but this is not recommended because these low port values are usually used as system ports. They are usually strictly secured - on many active network elements.

Try to find all "oscam.conf" files in the file-system of the set-top box:

find / -type f -iname "oscam.conf"

If this does not help, try to verify whether Oscam is running at all and what its startup command-line looks like.

It can be verified in several ways, but it depends on the distribution of your Enigma2, which Linux it uses. In some Linuxes, the same commands do not work (it is limited by a different version of the command or even by using BusyBox). So try something like this (copy as CTRL + C / V, the whole script, into the linux-shell and run it):

OSCAM_LOCAL_PATH=$(find /usr/bin -iname 'oscam*' | head -n 1)
OSCAM_BIN_FNAME=${OSCAM_LOCAL_PATH##*/}
if ps --version 2>&1 | grep -q -i "busybox"; then
    OSCAM_CMD=$(ps | grep $OSCAM_BIN_FNAME | grep -v grep | head -n 1 | grep -o '/.*$')
else
    OSCAM_CMD=$(ps -f --no-headers -C $OSCAM_BIN_FNAME | head -n 1 | grep -o '/.*$')
fi
echo "${OSCAM_CMD}"

The "top" command can also help display the Oscam full command-line. However, this "top" command may not work the same on every set-top box (BusyBox VS full Linux command):

top -c

Then find oscam in the list and see what startup parameters it has (configuration directory).

There... in this startup command-line for Oscam, you should see, a modified path to the configuration directory if there is no default path.

As a last thing, it's a good idea to check if the ports on the set-top box are open and if so, for which services:

netstat -tulpn | grep cam

In that case, you should ask on the discussion forum for this SatDreamGR. Unfortunately, personaly, I don't use this Enigma2 distribution, so I cannot advise.

You can try to check the plugin-list in your Enigma2 to see if there is some weather plugin based on OpenWeather resources. Or try it via Linux-shell (via PuTTY app):

opkg update; opkg list | grep openweather

where can be zip code placed?

i putted on location but not work

any help, thanks in advanced!!

This applies to OpenATV or some other Enigma2, in which the openweather service is used and not MSN service.

This country ID is inserted there. Then it will probably be necessary to verify the ID code - as is the case with OpenATV (use the blue button to verify that the ID is valid and only then save the weather settings in OpenATV).

The guide is for the built-in SKIN MetrixHD in OpenATV Enigma2. With the use of the MyMetrixLite configurator (plugin), it is possible to configure this MetrixHD SKIN in OpenATV. There you can then switch MSN to OpenWeather.

Hi.

In OpenATV, just switch the MSN weather service to the OpenWeather service:

- Green button > MyMetrixLite plugin > Weather settings

Then you need to find your country's ID (code) and set it there. So... go to http://www.openweathermap.org and you can find it there- according to the screenshot:

IMG_20190306_025813_OpenWeather_country_ID.jpg

Of course. If the ChocholousekPicons plugin does not consider RADIO picons, i.e. plugin ignores them, so it doesn't even process them - and also... of course... with the method of erasing them on the disk (the RADIO picon files will be ignored, so they will also remain on disk in the set-top box).

You should have written that the old RADIO picons remained on the disc and you don't want it. However, this is not a plugin error, but a user error. Simply put: either you use RADIO+TV or just TV picons.

I already wrote to you twice. This is the third time I write that this function exists there.

It is enough if you choose "synchronization only for TV bouquests". And not for "TV+RADIO bouquets". That's all. Then what exactly you need will be achieved - to ignore RADIO bouquets and therefore RADIO picons.

If you don't know what bouquets are, in Enigma2 they are called so-called "favorite" station lists - i.e. stations recognized in the list only by user (and not the content of stations from a single satellite). That's what the term "userbouquet" means. This is also the name of the files with the following lists:

/etc/enigma2/userbouquet.LISTNAME.tv

/etc/enigma2/userbouquet.LISTNAME.radio

I don't understand you anyway. This option already exists in the plugin for only TV picons (and RADIO picons are ignored). There is an option for TV-picons only and also second option for TV+RADIO picons.

First + second methods, called as "synchronization" methods - means that only those picons are unpacked from the .7z packages that are required. Other picones will not be unpacked and uploaded to the set top box.

Third + fourth methods - without synchronization... means copying all picons... it means that the need for picons according to the used TV (or even RADIO) channels is not taken into account. Then the whole *.7z package with picons is unpacked and copied to the set-top box.

So I still don't know what exactly you need. Sorry.

🤔

Oh...

Do you use the set-top box only for listening to the radio ? Or why do you need it (picons for RADIO bouquets only) ?!

If you don't use any TV-userbouquets, the plugin will logically not even process them.

Or do you use other picons for the TV userbouquets ? And do you want the ChocholousekPicons plugin just for RADIO userbouquets ?

In theory, this option could be added to a plugin... but I don't understand what you need it for. It is an incomprehensible thing.

Hi.

Why wouldn't it be possible ? I don't understand exactly. Its not working ? Or what do you mean ?

just dont need to download picons for radios stations, only for TV.

dont see that option in setup

So again...

Open the "Chocholousek Picons" plugin and then move the cursor to the line "update mode". Press the LEFT / RIGHT arrows on the RCU until you switch the desired mode (update mode without use the RADIO picons).

Minor addition:

- upon termination of support for any of the satellite positions, i.e. if the picon pack no longer exists, the satellite position will be automatically deleted from the user configuration

- the user will be notified by a warning message box

could be possible to download picons just for TV without radio channels?

Thank you

Hi.

Enter the plugin configuration and change the update method (go to this configuration line and press the left/right buttons on the RCU).

Hi seagen

This is not very clear advice ... I think :-/.

The entire Enigma2 platform is designed so that all data are saving (storing) in the internal flash disk only sometimes - occasionally.

Even a lot of data are stored in Enigma2 GUI only when Enigma2 is rebooted or stopped (into standby mode) - such as EPG file or Enigma2 configuration file. These files are of course non-essential. They are not important to the running of the Linux system or to the running of the Enigma2 GUI.

This principle, primarily saves the number of possible rewrites of memory cells, in the flash memory (in the internal flash drive) - in the set-top box.

It is often used for the needs of fast data storage, only the so-called "volatile" RAM-disk (temporary disk created in RAM memory - usually placed under "/tmp" or "/var/volatile" folders). For example, the EPG file is not always saved, but only when the Enigma2 GUI is restarted, and otherwise the EPG file is maintained during the entire system operation, always only in the RAM memory and not on the internal flash drive.

It is true that some processes, such as Oscam or system debugging, sometimes also use the internal flash drive to store data (files), and this, for example, can also cause problems when the user interrupts the saving of data to a file (to the internal flash drive) - however this does not apply under normal circumstances. These are only exceptional cases.

Set-top boxes, mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, or other similar (small / digital / home) devices... are designed so that they do not interfere with a hard shutdown of the power supply (for example, in the event of power outages). Well, Linux set-top boxes with Enigma2 GUI belong to the same category.

Rather the opposite of what you wrote applies here. If the set-top box or the file system is destroyed when the system was just saving data to the internal flash drive - then this is really a rare case and very unlikely.

These devices intended for the Enigma2 GUI do not represent a standardized PC system, but rather a standardized set-top box. So the loss of supply current should not interfere there.

I recognize that this can happen. But really only exceptionally. I dare to estimate that only 1 case out of 1000 hard power offs of the set-top box can damage the file system or even the internal flash drive directly.

Mr KiddaC boss is the best all rounder

Did you confuse the forum discussion thread ? 😊

Of course you won't affect that.

Only if you give the BAN to the user (softcam-client).

But this client will reconnect for any unknown reasons again and again. This is probably by setting in the softcam-client configuration.

You can also reduce the idle-time to disconnect softcam-client from your softcam-server. I mean the idle time for an inactive users.

You used the value 10800 which is stupid because the value represents seconds and 10800 seconds means 3 hours. However, it needs to ensure that the inactive user is kicked out in a few seconds - for example within 60 seconds:

umaxidle = 60

OSCam/en/Config/oscam.user – Streamboard Wiki

Or... the only option... is to set the value ccckeepalive = 0 in the Oscam-client configuration (or in some other softcam-client). But this only applies to the CCCAM communication protocol:

https://wiki.streamboard.tv/wi…m/en/Config/oscam.server# ccckeepalive

It also depends on what communication protocol you use in the softcam ! For each communication protocol or for different types of softcam clients, completely different rule configuration options are applicable.

Uhm... what you are asking is the question of spreading illegal income - sharing illegal decoder cards. You are looking for an illegal source of Softcams servers. However, Oscam or CCcam itself works correctly in your case. I understand it correctly ?

Hi.

You will need to set some sanction for the user or some BAN (for some time) for this user, because he probably has auto-reconnect set up in his softcam-client.

EDIT:

But you have to describe more precisely what you want to achieve. Do you want to grant the user access only for a certain time ?

You can create a user by adding a timeout to his configuration (in the Oscam server) with the date when a particular account expires. However, it is tied to the day. Not for minutes. I mean this:

OSCam/en/Config/oscam.user – Streamboard Wiki

Or you can allocate account usage, only on certain days and at certain times - within "time frames". However, it is a bit more complicated to set up :). I mean this:

Hi Albi.5

Where and what do you mean by Oscam? Do you mean looking for it on the internet? And what exactly are you looking for? And where are you looking for it?

Are you looking for an Oscam installer as an IPK package for an Enigma2 receiver? Or are you looking for the Oscam binary executable for the Enigma2 receiver? Or are you looking for an Oscam for any other platform such as Windows?

Or do you want to find the Oscam binary file in the Linux set-top box file system?

Or do you just want to find some instructions on the internet for installing Oscam in your set-top box?
