    You don't have to write this to me :) . I have always used the Skylink card "ICE" only in Irdeto mode. Even my colleague from the development team in our company was one of the first to promote and share his configuration on the Czech discussion ab-forum.info with the following entries:

    Code
    force_irdeto     = 1
    needsemmfirst    = 1
    autospeed        = 0
    mhz              = 600
    cardmhz          = 600

    And since then, everyone has just copied this configuration. However, a few years ago, we used this a long time ago.

    can we just de-compile Qviart image and look what is inside oscam patch? :smirk:

    Is not easy.

    De compiled is not right way.

    Not about RSA.

    L2B modified oscam work.

    Not just the Oscam. The universal decoder card reader in the Qviart Lunix 4K device is designed so that it can also work with Irdeto Layer 2b mode. It's not about Oscam, it's about hardware limitations - in the case of other universal card readers. Oscam is only modified to work with dynamic keys for Irdeto Layer 2b mode.


    It's only a matter of time before this feature is added by great non-commercial programmers to Oscam's source code, freely available on the internet.

    There are several problems:

    1. Irdeto Layer 2B depends on the hardware of the universal card readers in the set-top boxes, so unfortunately in standard universal card readers this coding does not work.
    2. Linux set-top box "Qviart Lunix 4K" is said to be able to work with this Irdeto Layer 2b encoding in its universal reader.
    3. You need to solve Oscam (with a dynamic key) to be able to work in Irdeto Layer 2b and if you solve it, it will still not be possible to share the card, for example, within the home - for other softcam clients.

    Forget about the hilarious Skylink. Rotate the antenna from 23.5E to 16.0E and instead of Skylink, use the Antiksat provider. There, Conax encoding is used, which can be shared in Oscam (for example, within your home). Alternatively, you can buy for € 2 (or € 1 I don't know exactly) another copy of the satellite decoder card directly from the provider.

    Yes. That's all.


    If you do not send EMMs for refreshments Entitlements on the satellite card or if you do not require EMM commands, you can also add the following line:

    DISABLE EMM : yes

    (1)

    Start and stop shell-script "init.d" (system-based - without the need for Enigma and its GUI):

    /etc/init.d/softcam.<name>

    -OR-

    /etc/inid.d/softcam

    (it depends on the Enigma distribution, but both of them must work)


    For example, my shell-script is here: https://github.com/s3n0/e2scripts/blob/master/softcam

    (needs to be edited on Cccam, instead of Oscam ... in this shell script, you will find additional info on how to install oscam / cccam manually in Enigma)


    (2)

    Run-Level No. 3 startup symbolic link (system-based - without the need for Enigma and its GUI):

    /etc/init.d/softcam > /etc/rc3.d/S90softcam

    -OR-

    /etc/init.d/softcam.CCcam > /etc/rc3.d/S90softcam.CCcam (as example of the CCcam)

    (for example, using the tool "update-rc.d" - for more info check my shell-script)


    (3)

    Binary (executable) file of the softcam itself (Cccam):

    /usr/bin/CCcam

    (may vary, of course, depending on the IPK installation package)


    (4)

    The main configuration file - for Cccam:

    /etc/CCcam.cfg


    A note - binary file and start / stop script must have the execution rights to run: chmod a+x /usr/bin/CCcam /etc/init.d/softcam*


    Maybe this is my older tutorial for the manual procedure of softcam installation:

    Tutorial : How to install softcam (OSCam/CCCam) manually, if you hate ipk packages

    Unfortunately, I don't know VTi Enigma. In most Enigmas, after installing and restarting the softcam, you still need to activate / enable this installed softcam via the GUI (in some Softcam MENU).

    Hi. How exactly did you install Cccam ? With the help of the IPK package ? And this IPK is designated for your Enigma ? Because the way to run / start softcams (Cccam, Oscam, etc.) can be different on different Enigmas. You should use the IPK just for your Enigma (for VTi). Do not use IPK for another Enigma.

    I absolutely disagree. Every encryption algorithm on the planet Earth is crackable. Everything invented by humanity on the planet Earth and not some unknown civilization from the Universe :). Mankind cannot decipher just an algorithm that man apparently did not create - for example, something like DNA in a human living cell, like code written in a 4-digit system, by some unknown algorithm.


    It's only a matter of time before someone creates a full-fledged Emu (Oscam-Emu) module for Irdeto + also the appropriate hardware to receive the satellite stream. For example, Irdeto is used infrequently, but if Irdeto were used by at least 90% of DVB-S companies / providers, then Irdeto cards would no longer be needed ! A serial number would be enough (the serial number of a user who paid for the entire bundle of channels from the provider). Even a dynamic key is nonsense. He too can be deceived. Simply put, creating a satellite card clone is not problem.


    It's only a matter of time before the code cracks through the card's firmware. It's just a matter of creating an emulator for a specific decryption system. It's a matter of time to create an algorithm that can handle 100% emulation of any Irdeto card or any CAM module. Everything can be emulated, imitated, replaced, ... etc. . At the same time, the more someone tries to encrypt the data, the bigger the target for crackers.


    Every businessman today assumes even with a certain piracy in his business. I dare to estimate that half of all users of services / products are pirates. On the one hand, piracy is a loss of profit for a company, but on the other hand, piracy is also a great advertisement, thanks to which the popularity of a particular product or service is growing. If piracy were really fought, then 50% of users / pirates would be lost + another 25% of legal users (for example) would be lost due to less popularity. Marketing bosses know this very well. For example, if Microsoft could cut off 100% illegal Windows 10 licenses ... then all companies in the world would start using Linux systems instead. Unfortunately, it is exactly the opposite. The philosophy of Windows 10 deliberately allows the use of even cracked licenses. Otherwise, the popularity of Windows-10 systems would drop by 50% worldwide ! That would be an unimaginable loss for Microsoft. It would lose its popularity and therefore its profits from legal licenses. Thanks to piracy, the Windows system is popular all over the world. Really. Otherwise, Linux would be popular, which is free and which is a better system (in terms of the principle of the kernel or the functions of the operating system). Even computer games are made for free today. The profit is expected from the donate system or from the supplements paid in the game ... or for surcharges if you want to play games online. Simply, piracy is rapidly increasing the popularity of products and services.


    An example is the new WiFi security WPA 3, which is not always widespread among people, but already contains security risks and is already crackable and again requires some patches :). In this way, humanity really never gets anywhere. The world is ruled by money and money. And so it looks even then. The whole philosophy of how the world works is wrong. :) But I will not philosophize here :).


    For example, Google provides a perfect example of a business. It provides an incredible amount of quality services for FREE - such as Email Service, Google Earth project, which I consider the most successful project in the world - an online map on the internet for everyone for FREE !!! or a very popular Android OS for smartphones. Everything is free. And the company makes huge profits (for example, thanks to advertising).


    I believe that if DVB-S broadcasting were completely free, with the possibility of voluntary donation, then the company would make more money.


    It's the same principle as telling people to sit at home because of the growing Covid19 pandemic. If you told people that they had to be forgiving and wearing a veil, they would be forgiving. But if you tell people to wear a veil under threat of violence or punishment, then of course they will ignore this command and rebel against this command. My favorite statement is: "People need to be taught how to think, not what to think." by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. And this is true in all directions. Not just in politics. Not only in ordering and paying for DVB-S services. But everywhere in the world. But enough was philosophizing :). Sorry for FLOOD :). I needed to explain how it works in the world :).

    That is not quite true.


    The basic Irdeto 2 system from Skylink continues.


    The new Irdeto Layer 2b will always be applied only to added / new channels or when moving channels to other satellite transponders ... that is, to any intervention on the satellite transponders. Unfortunately, several channels will be transferred in January 2020. For example, HBO2 and HBO3 channels. Unfortunately, these moved channels will then work in the Irdeto Layer 2b system.


    The basic Irdeto 2 works in UNI readers without any problems and can even be shared via Oscam. However, there may be several problems in this basic version of Irdeto 2. For example, the Skylink provider can remotely send an EMM command for a specific decoder card firmware, for a specific user, to change the Surflock function in the card firmware. This feature then disables the decryption of more than 2-3 channels simultaneously (i.e., retrieving ECM requests from the card more than 2-3 times in 10 seconds, which is the lifetime of the Irdeto-2 decryption key). Therefore, it will not be possible to share the card.


    However, Irdeto Layber 2b makes it impossible to use UNI readers and also makes it impossible to share this decoder card. This is a major problem for Oscam. Although you can use Irdeto Layer 2b in a UNI-reader (Qviart Lunix 4K does not have this hardware limitation), it will not be possible to share this Irdeto Layer 2b in Oscam.


    If you come from Slovakia or the Czech Republic, your solution could be to rotate the antenna from 23.5E (Skylink) position to 16.0E (Antiksat). The Conax system is used there and the card can be shared via Oscam (within your household). Or you can buy a secondary card for 1 EUR per month if I'm not mistaken.


    There is no single data encryption system devised by humans that cannot be broken by humans. It's always just a matter of time and a matter of the effort of people (crackers) to break a specific data encryption. If you wait a few months, Layer 2b may be broken and functional in Oscam. However, ordinary UNI readers are said to have hardware limitations when it comes to using Layer 2b. That's why it's such a big problem. There are many users with Linux receivers who will be forced to buy a hardware CAM module from Skylink, for a CI+ interface => no Oscam, no sharing.


    In addition, DVB-S systems do not send any data to a satellite into space from set-top box. DVB-S systems work in only one direction (from the Earth's orbit, towards the user's antenna). This is a major disadvantage when it comes to breaking encrypted data. The data from the satellite in space, towards the decoder card, is always the same. It doesn't matter if you live in Poland, Hungary, Russia, you just need to have the same decoding card as someone else, with the same decoding algorithm and serial / registration number.

    Hi.


    After installing any softcam in Enigma2, you still need to activate this softcam in the GUI MENU (using RCU). Then your chosen softcam will start automatically. OpenPLi includes its own IPK installers on the feed server, which are designed for this way of running softcams. Starting shell-scripts for softcams in this case, can be found here:

    /etc/init.d/softcam.<softcam-name> {start|stop|restart}

    This method also uses OpenATV and several other Enigma2 distributions.


    Well, since you have already solved it, then everything is fine :).

    Hello.


    You can connect via Telnet or SSH protocol to the Linux shell (command line) of the set-top box. For this purpose, use the well-known Putty tool for Windows, for example. According to the Enigma2 distribution, if you have not set a password yet, then use a Telnet connection first. Set a password using the passwd command, and then you can use a more secure and enhanced SSH connection.


    It depends on the type of your Enigma2 distribution, because some Enigms use a special softcam (Oscam) launcher and then the softcam will not work if you install it via an IPK package designed for a completely different Enigma. However, the manual installation procedure should work almost always and without errors.


    Note: The screenshot you mentioned probably only contains binary (boot) files, but not installation packages (ipk). These are intended for the manual procedure of installing or updating Oscam.

    You can find out the architecture of your set-top box (mipsel, arm, arm64, aarch64, sh4, ...) via the command in the shell:

    uname -m

    Or you can find out in the technical specification of your set-top box, in the details about the chipset or the CPU.


    You can install Oscam as an automatic IPK / DEB installation package or also by a manual procedure (a more complex procedure, recommended earlier for IT experts, for example according to this short guide: Tutorial : How to install softcam (OSCam/CCCam) manually, if you hate ipk packages ).


    In terms of configuration, it's more complicated. It depends on what encoding your satellite provider uses on the satellite decoder cards. It also depends on whether your satellite card works in the UNI-reader of Linux set-top boxes at all. So it's a very individual and often complicated setup. Above all, you need to state what kind of satellite provider you have. Some satellite cards can even be shared for other softcam clients.


    You can access the Oscam configuration via a web browser when Oscam is installed (http://IP_address_set-top-box:8888) or via an FTP connection - directly to the Oscam configuration files. There are several directories (https://trac.streamboard.tv/os…owser/trunk/oscam.c#L1662) where it scans the configuration of Oscam after its launch. However, the most common directory for Oscam configuration files are the following two directories:

    /etc/tuxbox/config

    ...or...

    /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam

    Hi.


    Which satellite provider ? What encoding does this sat-provider uses ?


    You mentioned a Oscam with the Emu module. So, try the following:


    https://github.com/oscam-emu/o…tched/wiki/PowerVU-config

    https://github.com/oscam-emu/o…api-on-compatible-devices

    Quote

    2. Select the correct extended CW API:

    Code
    Webif -> Config -> DVB-Api -> API for extended CWs
    1 - OE 2.2
    2 - OE 2.0

    - or by editing the oscam.conf file:

    Code
    [dvbapi]
    extended_cw_api = 1

    If you know how to use Shell, you are also experienced enough to manually install a softcam. But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that it works.


    However, IPKs sometimes have a compatibility issue. Unfortunately, many Enigmas use their own "triggers" for softcams and then it doesn't work. Popular Enigms such as OpenPLi and OpenATV already use the same startup method. So Softcam support is built-in. The shell scripts are located with the appropriate name here:

    /etc/init.d/softcam.<softcam-name> 

    Then it is necessary to activate this softcam (installed via IPK or manually) in the GUI MENU (using RCU).

    Mustapha Gee


    IPK packages can be installed in most Enigmas via the GUI (using RCU), but with different procedures.


    You can also use the manual method to install the softcam (Oscam, Cccam, etc.), but you must be an experienced user (Linux).

    Unfortunately, I don't know this SKIN, but I think it's stupid to need two different picon resolutions. Why does SKIN use both resolutions - 400x170 "ZZPicons" and at the same time 220x132 "XPicons" ? I don't like that.


    In my opinion, this can be set somewhere in the CobaltFHD SKIN configuration. Or use only ZZPicons (i.e. 400x170 resolution) and maybe SKIN will automatically adjust them when needed.


    Did you also use the Enigma restart after updating the picons to appear in the SKIN ? Because some PNG images (picons) are cached and remain there as blank images, and some are not cached. I think the picons in the channel list menu are cached, but the picons in the lower InfoBar are not cached because they are always read directly from the internal disk. Or vice versa ... I don't know. So a quick restart of the Enigma - GUI is needed to clear this "cache" with images.


    Is this SKIN really unable to render one resolution, to several other resolutions including pixel-scaling ? The same as the MetrixHD SKIN. Uhm...

    knislinge2000 :


    I do not understand. What's the name of the skin ? This is stupid if skin needs 2 different picon resolutions, located in separate directories. 🤔


    MetrixHD skin and the MyMetrixLite configurator are, of course, built-in components in OpenATV. Therefore, of course, if you use a different skin, different rules apply - depending on which algorithm a particular skin component uses to display PNG images.

    Good evening, I need a file .deb, a file .ipk, cannot be installed.

    Hello. The need for .DEB packages means that you are using a completely different Enigma2 distribution based on a newer E2 core. You probably have some Dreambox device and also different firmware (DreamElite6, DreamOS, Merlin, ...). Unfortunately, this SKIN is not guaranteed to work in your Enigma.
