Hello,

so, your CAID is 0B01 ? Or where did you get that Oscam config ? Are you sure with the mentioned CAID ?

Does channel decoding work (according to LOG in OscamWebif) ?

You basically just need to get a card ? Do I understand correctly ? So you tried to make it? Set or add a server to the "oscam.conf" file (for example, based on the cccam protocol). You will then add the user to the "oscam.user" file. And you can try to connect from some other set top box as a client (ideally also as an oscam-client).

Hello. Some decode cards may require an initialization string (EMM packets for refreshment or card wake-up) after a long period of inactivity. AutoUpdate (AU) function enabled for at least one user? The AU is used to send EMM packets to activate paid programs to the card. Depending on the firmware and the type of card encryption, this may be required.

Hi.

If you check the LiveLOG record via Oscam-Webif, you will surely find out why it doesn't work. Check the clients as well as the server. Surely there will be a listing why it doesn't work.

BTW, your network connections are OK ? If you also use an external connection behind the router, are the ports allowed and routed on your router ?

OK, but what doesn't work ?

If you are looking for a directory with oscam configuration, you can also find it in OscamWebif as I wrote before:

FILES -> oscam.version -> ConfigDir

If you don't know how to convert C-Lines or M-Lines correctly, here's the right format:

N-Line

C-Line

There are many models of the device "4k". So which one do you own ?

Ultimo 4K / Uno 4K / Uno 4K SE / Solo 4K / Zero 4K

All 4K models from Vu+ brand contains the ARM architecture.

Vu+ Zero box (not a 4K model) should contains the MIPSEL architecture.

So you need oscam binaries for mipsel and also for arm.

Then I recommend using the manual installation procedure.

If you want to use GUI support directly in the BlackHole image menu, it is better to use an IPK package that will prepare everything by itself. I do not know the image of BlackHole and I do not know exactly where it belongs or what method of launching Softcams is used in BlackHole.

Hi.

Please enter the LiveLOG (debug log) records from Oscam-Webif first. Maybe there will be an error recorded. Or please specify exactly what does not work! Because I have no idea what it means "doesn't work".

You can also find the configuration directory in Oscam-Webif:

http://ip_addr_of_your_box:8888

...or try also very often used port 83:

http://ip_addr_of_your_box:83

And then go to:

Files -> oscam.version -> search line "ConfigDir"

If you prefer the command-line (Shell):

wget -O - -q "http://127.0.0.1:8888/files.html?file=oscam.version" | grep "ConfigDir"

...or if you have set a password:

wget -O - -q "http://loginname:password@127.0.0.1:8888/files.html?file=oscam.version" | grep "ConfigDir"

Try it if you also want a manual procedure from here (you'll be sure where the error is if something doesn't work):

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

If you have problems, write again.

However, I think the PureE2 image has a well-functioning softcam. There should be no problems.

OK, then please attach a debug LOG record (LiveLOG) from OscamWebif / CccamWebif when this freezing occurs.

Then somebody might advise if I could not help, because I also don't know everything :).

Download and set Oscam to all boxes :). Here on this forum you will also find feed sources, such as an extension for the box. They automatically download the required version according to the chipset and also according to the Enigma (for OpenATV for example) with automatic startup at boot.

If you want to install it manually, it is also possible. Here is the article:

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

You can download the necessary Oscam binary / executable file from the internet or from this discussion forum. There you will always find the latest already compiled Oscam, for different types of boxes. Download the Oscam binary according to the type of your chipset found. Each box can have a different chipset (mipsel, arm, sh4, ...), so you always have to check the chipset architecture or CPU.

Sorry, but these ideas that Cccam 2.2.1 will work and not Cccam 2.3.2 for example are stupid. Only that you are only a cccam-client .... and the server administrator instructed you to use a specific version of the cccam protocol (usually you can set it up, without changing the softcam).

Every single softcam must work. The differences are only minor. For example, Cccam and Oscam are the same with the difference that Cccam is mainly focused on the issues with the cccam protocol. Oscam is trying to keep all the popular softcam protocols without BUGs. This means that in Cccam there may be a corrected specific missing for just the cccam protocol rather than in Oscam. However, later the bug fix is also applied in Oscam.

Then there is one thing that differentiates softcams - specially developed softcam compilations. For example, if a developer modifies the code for himself, so that, for example, the softcam Cccam will work correctly on a particular case with a particular decoding card problem. Later, the modified code can also be implemented in the main stream of source code development on the Internet - it is only a matter of time (sometimes it takes a week and sometimes even half a year).

My recommendation is Oscam - a multi-protocol softcam. Like Cccam, this Oscam is both server and client in one.

If something is not working then the problem needs to be solved. Find out exactly why it doesn't work. Not that you exchange softcam for some other :-P.

However, it all depends on what encryption is used in your card and it is necessary to identify: CAID, DVB provider, type of card reader (external or internal), Enigma version , ...and so on.

If OSCam or CCCam works, the problem is then in decoding (with paid programs that need to be decoded using the card) or in communicating the card reader with the decoding card. These are the two most common problems.

Hi,

what exactly do you mean by "freeze" ?

Will the process stop running ?

Or will it stop decoding ? Would it be possible to include a debuglog in this case (the so-called "LiveLOG" in the softcam web interface - OSCam-Webif / CCCam-Webif)?

You sure? What you sent above is displayed in the LOG when the satellite card is in the reader, but the ATR string is not read from your card. That is why I thought it might be a similar problem. Oscam must retrieve your card info (ATR string), but it has not read anything. The reader is also functional according to LOG records.

You probably need the keys to a functional Oscam-Emu. It may be necessary to pair new NDS cards with the device. I really do not know. But the card should answer - at least what kind of satellite card (pass the ATR string).

We don't even know which CAID you have in your satellite card. Without these data, communication with the card is not possible. The card must provide it and should be visible in the Oscam LOG.

Try it with "boxid" and "ins7e11" entries, like this:

(unfortunately, I don't know your provider's CAID because you didn't list it and it wasn't read from your satellite card with the help of Oscam)

[reader]
label       = sky_de
protocol    = internal
device      = /dev/sci0
caid        = 09C4
ident       = 09C4:000000
boxid       = 12345678
ins7e11     = 15
detect      = cd
mhz         = 357
cardmhz     = 357
group       = 1
emmcache    = 1,3,2

Hello,

everything depends on which Enigma distribution you use. Is there an original Enigma? And so it depends on what trigger for Softcam (Oscam) is used there.

The easiest way - replace the oscam binary file in your set-top box :

1. check the name of the oscam service (the name of binary file), e.g. using the Shell (command-line):
   top | grep cam
2. shoot down the oscam service:
   killall -9 recognized_oscam_service_name
3. replace the oscam binary with a new file one, downloaded from the internet
   - use the binary file for sh4 chipset and for Enigma which do you use
   - copy and replace file via an FTP connection
   - the binary file should always be placed in the "/usr/bin" folder
   - if the file name is different from the original one, please rename it according to the original file name already in the set-top box
4. as finally, restart the set-top box to restart the new Oscam (since I don't know which type of Oscam trigger is used in your Enigma)

Or you may use the search button also :) : How do i install oscam vix4 image amiko alien 2

You can install an extensions with a new feed sources for your Enigma: Softcam Feeds . Then, as first uninstall your old oscam version and then, as second, install the new one Oscam via the new included feed source, which is usually visible in the Plugin-MENU as the new entry - "Softcams" ... or use the command-line / Shell (opkg update && opkg list | grep oscam, then install what you need with the command: opkg install oscam_package_name).

Your device uses the chipset "sh_4" what is not popular ... unfortunatelly. But oscam binary files exists also for sh4 chipsets.

One way to manually install Oscam according to my own startup bash-script file, you can found here:

Hello.

Probably the satellite card is inserted in the universal reader incorrectly ?

Try to insert the card with the chip down / up and also with the chip in front / back. This may require a restart of the set-top box. Ideally, the satellite card should be inserted with the device turned off ! This avoids possible problems with card-reader damaging on cheaper set-top boxes.

You have to describe the problem in detail.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what a server is, what a client is, and what happened where (what in the case of the client and what in the case of the server you mention).

Sorry, but you have to write what you want first, because I'm not a fortune teller. :-/ Do you want to assign a button on the RCU to a bash script with deleting inactive readers? Do you want to schedule (into CRON daemon for example) as I mentioned above, auto-scan every 3 days of inactive readers and delete them from the oscam.server file? Do you want to do this (delete invalid readers) only at your instruction, manually, once a week for example?

Of course, it would be a good idea to add an Oscam restart to the CRON scheduler. Alternatively, after checking inactive inactive Oscam readers every 3 days, for example, they will also be deleted + Oscam will restart.

There are indeed many possibilities to do this. If I don't know what you intend, I can't even help you.

Hello.

LB weight is difficult to adjust. First you have to make the basic settings in the "oscam.conf" file (global section, all the "lb_......." entries).

http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…g/oscam.conf#Loadbalancer

I recommend also to use (to enable) the lb_save option.

Only then set the LB weight manually in the "oscam.server" file (reader all sections). You should also set the "fallback" condition for jump to another reader.

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

You should also be aware of other settings that are related to or affect the behavior of the LB scale, such as preferlocards:

http://www.streamboard.tv/wiki…cam.conf#preferlocalcards

Or:

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

services

Parameter ist optional

Attention: If loadbalancing is enabled in oscam.conf [global] among lb_mode, then there may be no entries!

Read and don't ask :). If you can't solve a problem for a long time, worry about yourself for a week ... then ask then :).

There are many ways to configure it correctly. You have to choose a way that only suits you.

:)

Hi,

of course ... in Linux you can do everything ... ha ha ... really anything. But after deleting broken readers, you also need to restart Oscam and if you own an Oscam server it can be a problem for connected clients (frequent reboot).

For example, the Bash script could test for three days, the operation of all Oscam readers, and if one is always offline for three days, the entire configuration block will be deleted (can be deleted directly in the "oscam.server" file but also via interface / OscamWebif using the "wget" command, but the latter is more complicated to send "OK" confirmation by POST HTTP, when deleting the reader).

If you are asking for a binary file, surely the best is the latest version of Oscam, according to your device's chipset (arm, mipsel, sh_4).

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

If you can not install Oscam yourself with a binary downloaded from the Internet, then you need an IPK package, but there have been changes recently in OpenATV:

OpenATV SoftCam Feed Discussion Thread

If you're asking for an installation package (IPK), then it's more difficult. If you only want an ipk package, I recommend extending your feed list with a softcam source in OpenATV and installing Oscam through this source (also shown in the Plugins menu). Softcam Resources / Feeds for OpenATV:

Which exactly inactivity do you mean ? Are you picking the right file ? :)

Check where your configuration files are stored to see if the path to them has changed:

Oscam Webif -> Files -> oscam.version -> and there please check the entry named as "ConfigDir"

You can try to produce an Oscam binary for your router/firmware via some Linux-PC. Download the appropriate toolchain (SDK for creating and developing the Oscam). Then you download the latest Oscam source code. And finally you compile the Oscam binary file. However, this is a more complex procedure.

http://www.streamboard.tv/oscam/wiki/BuildingOscam

http://www.streamboard.tv/oscam/wiki/crosscompiling

If you would like to compile sources right under the set top box, so it will fail, because there is really-really chopped Linux.

Toolchains also exist specifically for OpenWrt with mipsel chipsets:
