    So you have no problem starting Softcam (Oscam) but setting the time sync ?


    If you own a "Formuler F4 Turbo" device, there was a patch in the form of a new CFE boot-loader for Oscam problems:

    https://www.formuler-support.t…ootloader-von-30-04-2018/


    I know nothing about any other problem with shifting the clock. It's quite possible that you are using the wrong Oscam binary file for your device chipset. Your problem will probably be in the wrong time zone (OpenATV configuration). But if this time zone is correct and if you are sure that Oscam is causing the problem, try another Oscam - another binary file for your device, intended for your chipset.

    What if the "delay" comes from an incorrectly set "lb_weight" in the Oscam configuration? Try to check and change the "lb_weight" settings completely (to test functionality). Also, your "oscam.conf" file is missing an item for setting "lb_mode": http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…Config/oscam.conf#lb_mode The default value is 0, which means - Disabled.


    Which set top box do you own and which card reader exactly? Is there an external power supply on the reader? Try using it (if you find the appropriate power adapter for the card reader).

    I didn't tell you to "seek" or "study" - check only. After reviewing the forum you should write your problem right there. Perhaps someone would advise users who also own SKY DE and follow this forum thread. Some forum users are following this SKY DE thread and maybe you will only get the correct answer.


    If you have a problem other than the German SKY DE, so you probably used an inappropriate TOPIC.

    Hello.


    I have found on the internet that this LAG could cause a USB HUB (or maybe low power in the USB connectors in your device or turning off the USB power to save power / USB sleep).


    Or do not have a properly configured user - the so-called "dvbapi" user in the "oscam.user" file, for the purpose of AutoUpdate - http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki/OSCam/en/AU I don't know your provider, so I don't know if it needs to have EMM packets (AU function) written to the decode card. But it is also possible that EMMs are not needed for CONAX crypto mode. I don't know, sorry.


    Example of the "oscam.user" file - for your Oscam configuration:

    Code
    [account]
    user     = dvbapi
    pwd      = 
    caid     = 0B02
    # au       = 1
    au       = SMARTMOUSE
    group    = 9

    Hello, on my Gigablue Trio 4k gives me this error (impossible to import the name getBoxType) and it will not be provided. How do I solve? Thank you.

    Hello.


    This is the BUG code in the plugin (in some Enigma - such as OpenATV).


    It should be noted that BackupSuite is unfortunately a plugin that is not included in the OE-Alliance Group. So nobody cares about him. Each team of developers of an Enigma customizes this plugin for its own needs and therefore does not always work. Each team copies the code from a different source (like open source) and not from the same source (OE-Alliance Group as example). Therefore, this plugin may not work properly on every device and every Enigma distribution, unfortunately. The resources listed for the BackupSuite plugin anywhere on the Internet usually belong to the OpenPLi Enigma feed.


    This BUG has already been addressed in this discussion forum:

    Backup Suite wil not propelly install on a DM520HD original box.


    This BUG is currently solved in the OpenVision Enigma. However, a new installation package has not been compiled yet.


    It should suffice to download the source code (file plugin.py) and overwrite it as shown on the URL link above. Then restart Enigma (to compile the source code - file .py to .pyo). Delete the source code .py after restarting the Enigma ! Only this one compiled file will remain there (without the .py source code file, for a new update to work on this plugin). Here's how:

    Code
    #### !!! as the first, install the latest version of BackupSuite (26+git478+05184d7), and then ... :
    wget -q --no-check-certificate -O /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/BackupSuite/plugin.py "https://github.com/OpenVisionE2/BackupSuite/raw/master/plugin/plugin.py
    init 4; sleep 5; init 3; sleep 60             # restart the Enigma2 and then waiting 60 sec. until the Enigma boots up completely
    rm -f /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/BackupSuite/plugin.py             # delete the source code file

    Your softcam clients connect logically to your softcam server. The Softcam server must take care of the priority of the card reader itself. This means that the softcam-server will provide softcam clients with the appropriate decoded ECM - according to the priorities set in the softcam server.


    There is no need to configure the Softcam client. With softcam clients, you only request a decoded ECM and that's all your LAN clients need.


    Of course, if you have other external card readers on any softcam client, then you can make settings according to the client's needs. I don't see any problem in that.

    Sorry, unfortunately I do not use lb_weight. All the URL links you already had above. Just click on them and see how it works. Also see "lb_mode". Perhaps Mode 3 will be more convenient than Mode 1 (in your case).


    I don't even know your problem or your decoder cards. Because you didn't write them down. So that's why I can't help you better.


    If you do not set any weight in the reader, the default is "lb_weight = 100". Depending on where you want to set a higher priority, you must adjust the weight. If you want to increase the priority, you have to count the reader response and calculate the value according to the table to be suitable for other readers. It's complicated. I do not use lb_weight, so I will not give you a precise advice. Unfortunately.


    If you want to use it, you'll have to learn it. There is no free online setting. For a specific situation, it is necessary to use a specific setting.


    You must also consider the "preferlocalcards" item in the "oscam.conf" file. You didn't mention the file "oscam.conf" and I don't know what you got there, so I can't advise you again. Sorry. Mention of the "preferlocalcards" item is in the URL http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki/OSCam/en/Loadbalancing which I mentioned above:

    Quote

    The possible readers are sorted by the computed LB_WERT values (smaller first), and the reader is selected as follows:

    • If "Prefer local cards" is selected, the first lb_nbest number of readers are selected, which are not proxies.
    • If we haven't selected lb_nbest readers yet, the remaining readers are assigned in sequence, until lb_nbest readers are reached.
    • After selecting lb_nbest readers, the fallback readers are assigned (lb_nfb).


    (streamboard.tv is overloaded now and can't be opened, sometimes it happens, so wait a minute if the page doesn't open)

    You must also add one entry to the "oscam.conf" file.

    Please read it above. I've already written everything. Even two times and also with URL links.

    :wink:

    I recommend not to use special characters in the reader label ! For example, change it to "smart_hd_plus". The reader label is used most often and is not suitable if there is an empty space. For example in the "oscam.user" file for "au" entry (example: au = smart_hd_plus, remote_reader_3).


    So you have enabled channel list "services1" for "SMART HD+". But this is the wrong reasoning logic. You enabled channels + also to other channels that are allowed already - i.e. all channels are allowed. So nothing happened. You have to disable this channel list for a secondary reader for which you do not want these channels to be decoded. The entry is as follows: services = !services1 (exclamation mark at the beginning).


    A note - if you do not need to specify CAID and PROVID then you can leave these items empty ... that is:

    Code
    [services1]
    caid     =
    provid   =
    srvid    = 3ABD,0C22,113B,3DCD,3DD7,3DD3,3391,339A,339B,3393,3394,3D66,3D60,3333,3D59,429D,427B,3DD2,10EA,3AB8,377E,3781,0C25,12C6,3DCE,3DD0,10EB,13EF,377F,3AB9,0DB1,3D67,3D5C,4288,3D5F,1CB6,32E0,377D,4293,00023ABD,0C22,113B,3DCD,3DD7,3DD3,3391,339A,339B,3393,3394,3D66,3D60,3333,3D59,429D,427B,3DD2,10EA,3AB8,377E,3781,0C25,12C6,3DCE,3DD0,10EB,13EF,377F,3AB9,0DB1,3D67,3D5C,4288,3D5F,1CB6,32E0,377D,4293,0002

    I have them empty and it works. On the Internet it is said that these items are required (apparently they may remain blank after the "equals" sign, but they must be listed in the "services" section).

    Do you have the correct ServiceID codes and possibly the correct CAIDs (if you use also those CAIDs / but you don't have to) in your "oscam.services" file ? Do you have the correct file format "oscam.services" ?


    If you simply want to increase the "lb_weight" of a reader in "oscam.server", simply add "lb_weight" to the reader. Be sure to enable the function in the file "oscam.conf", item "lb_mode = 1". That would probably be the best solution in your case.


    If you simply want to assign different channel SIDs to specific card readers, then of course it will be better to use "oscam.services".


    However, "lb_weight" is linked to some other features in Oscam, and more care should be taken when using "lb_weight". Advanced info for "lb_weight" can be found here:

    http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki/OSCam/en/Loadbalancing


    Show your oscam cfg files, if you can. Of course, do not forget to overwrite login credentials + hostnames / IP addresses with some characters ("x" or "*").

    Hello.


    It depends on which build of the Enigma you use - so in which mode the chipset will work. Dreambox One includes a new generation of ARM chipsets - AmLogic S922X. It consists of two CPUs Cortex A73 and Cortex A53. Of course, both belong to the ARM chipset architecture.


    However, it depends on which firmware you use. Cortex A53 can work in two modes and this is the new AArch64 / ARM-v8 and compatible AArch32 / ARM-v7.

    https://developer.arm.com/ip-p…ssors/cortex-a/cortex-a53


    I don't know the Cortex A73 processor very well. However, it is very similar to the A53 and is probably used in pairs in a single chipset along with the A53.

    https://developer.arm.com/ip-p…ssors/cortex-a/cortex-a73


    Most likely, if you install a third-party Enigma, you'll need an Oscam compiled for ARM chipset and of course for firmware with Enigma environment. As I mentioned above, it depends on the installed Enigma distribution. Some Enigmas already have a softcam feed (in the GUI-MENU under PLUGINS) and can automatically identify the chipset and then download the appropriate Softcam - by chipset type. If not, it can be installed in some Enigma distributions as an additional source with Softcam plugins. I recommend using my tutorial, which also includes identifying the chipset and downloading the correct Oscam bin file:

    oscam download + install

    Hello.


    You must use the so-called "lb_weight" - card priority based on the card response speed and will be adjusted by setting your "lb_weight" value from the table (see URL link).

    http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…ig/oscam.server#lb_weight

    To enable the "lb_weight" feature you must to use the "oscam.conf" file:

    http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…Config/oscam.conf#lb_mode


    You can also set which satellite channels will be used on a specific reader. Add the predefined user variabales from your "oscam.services" files to the reader as dedicated services or as denied services (with an exclamation mark before the variable name).

    http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…/en/Config/oscam.services

    http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…fig/oscam.server#services

    It is possible also use filter of this channels on some users:

    http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…onfig/oscam.user#services

    No, you should send your "oscam.conf" file (remove all passwords, logins, IPs / hosts) and other users will consider what could be the cause if users do not connect easily :).


    If you have a problem connecting clients, then there may be a mistake elsewhere.


    What exactly do you need exactly and where is the problem exactly? First of all, check out Oscam LOG (via OscamWebif -> LiveLog). It may be obvious from this LOG why the connection problem arises.


    It could also be an incompatibility of the Cccam protocol between the server and the client. Or have you tested both Newcamd and Cccam?


    How many clients do you connect to your softcam server?

    It also depends on the decoding card :) - how fast does the built-in chipset and what firmware this decoder card contains.


    Perhaps the type of coding also depends, since some types of coding simply do not allow to decode multiple channels at the same time on the same card. ECM and EMM cache serve for this purpose. However, some coding systems are also secured against this type of abuse.


    Oscam should handle many connections. If not, you should be able to edit the source code for multiple connections at the same time. But as I wrote ... the problem will be the algorithm on the decoder card, not the Oscam server algorithm.


    Many decoder cards (their firmware) are limited in this respect. The maximum number of desclambers is limited. Cache-ex (ECM cache) OSCAM Cache-EX Tutorial v2.0 is then used for this purpose. In this case, the number of users connected to the same channel appears to be unlimited. But again, it depends on the type of card encoding.


    It's very complicated.


    I can't write any more about this because I don't deal with the DVB card coding system. I know just a little IRDETO system and no other systems.


    I know it can be limited (also good as a prevention against SurfLock) in oscam.server file:

    (Attention - each decoder card may require different values to limit the ECM flood.)

    Code
    ratelimitecm                  = 4
    ratelimittime                 = 9000
    ecmunique                     = 1
    srvidholdtime                 = 2000
    cooldown                      = 30,600

    However, the maximum number of descrablmers I do not know where Oscam detects (perhaps according to the type of card system detected?).
