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

cat /proc/cpuinfo

..or..

uname -m

Hello. I do not know which Enigma you are using, but in the Plugin-MENU, each Enigma2 should also include a Set Password plugin (system-plugins). So try to find this plugin in Enigma2 Plugin-MENU and install it. Use it to clear the password.

Or try the official plugin from the OpenPLi-7 feed server:

(copy it with a PC to a USB stick, then insert the USB stick into the receiver and install it via the GUI MENU in Enigma)

enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-setpasswd_6.3+git6799+bf513b0-r0.ipk

Normally, the password can be changed in the Shell (terminal) with the command: passwd

Please read the post #5: ChocholousekPicons updater (Enigma2 plugin)

Unfortunately, it all depends on what resolution picon you set.

:)

Hi @EML . Thanks for the report. If possible, please try the following commands in the terminal:

ping -c 1 -w 1 www.google.com
echo $?

ping -c 1 -w 1 www.google.com > /dev/null 2>&1
echo $?

ping --help

Nowhere else will be the problem. I use this primitive method to detect the internet - through system, without using a Python socket module, so the error must be in the problem ping "command". Thanks.

EDIT:

SatDreamGr uses the same command to test connectivity, but without the -w 1 argument. It is quite possible that the ping command in the SatDreamGr firmware does not know this argument (it only knows -c 1).

https://github.com/satdreamgr/…gr/Hardware/plugin.py#L87

I do not recommend using the "nodeid = " configuration parameter. Many users from the discussion forum copy and use it everywhere in all their configs. Then collision situations arise (users copy it everywhere). Use a nodeid only if instructed by the administrator of the softcam server (who will give you this node).

Thanks korn !

This is a more appropriate question for chocholousek :). I'm just a plugin developer, but Chocholoušek is a designer (author) of picon-packages.

However, it depends on the set resolution picon! Unfortunately, not all picon styles exist for all resolutions or vice versa - not all resolutions exist for every picon style (background). All picon styles are available only in picon resolution 220x132 (which can be considered the most used).

Grazie,molto bella e intuitiva, ma non scarica nulla, non li trova.

Thanks, very beautiful and intuitive, but it doesn't download anything, it doesn't find them.

The answer to your question:

You need to select the satellites you use on your device for which you want to download picons.

To open the satellite selection menu, move the cursor to "Satellites" and press OK on the RCU.

I also helped people through TeamViewer many times. If you want larsmads1 feel free to write me a PM.

Quote from larsmads1

what is the shell?

In means a command-line (Shell) in Linux. It can also be understood as a terminal connection to linux - for example via Putty. For example, you can connect via Telnet protocol or SSH protocol, or even through a serial port.

Everyone explains this in their own way, so it is probably unnecessary to explain all the details. You can find more information about "Linux Shell" on the Internet.

its a bit Stranges cos i use the same Oscam binary and i have no problems whit that i use a Huawei B525S router and my internet working whit problems

i first noticed it when i thought the net was down in the house and i used my mobile broadband router from telia (Huawei E5186S) after about 24 hours it had used all my data which was about 30gb

If you turn off the set-top box or pull out the LAN cable, overloading your LAN will be resolved ?

Are you sure this network overload is causing Oscam ? Try stopping Oscam and see if the LAN overloading has really been resolved.

icecool_denmark :

Yes, but you can have different network hardware in set-top box (NIC), different speed from internet provider, different firmware in set-top box (Enigma), otherwise configured router, maybe you use different protocol in softcam ... all this can to make the difference that in your case it doesn't overwhelm the Internet.

It is possible to diagnose a network congestion problem by X - ways. In the case of a high-quality router, or at least using the appropriate firmware (such as "dd-wrt" firmware - if the router's hardware allows it), you can even view real-time data flow on each network interface of the "gateway" (router). There it is possible to monitor in real time the actual data flow to / from WAN or within LAN, or even between individual machines in the LAN network. It is also possible to diagnose on the operating system in the PC, depending on the installed version of Windows or add-ons (application firewall, antivirus system, etc.). For Linux PCs, it is also easy - just search Google for how to do it, according to your Linux distribution, or find which network monitoring tool to use in Linux.

///////// EDIT :

larsmads1 :

Where exactly are you newbie ? You mean setting up Oscam or installing it ?

Changing the binary is very very very simple:

1. Find which binary file is in the set top box, ideally via the Shell: find /usr/bin -name "*cam*"
2. Download the Oscam binary file for your chipset architecture (arm7, mipsel, sh4, aarch64 / arm8) - i.e. designed for your set-top box
3. Stop the Oscam: killall -9 <oscam_service_name> (usually the service name is the same as the binary filename from the "/usr/bin" folder)
4. Upload and rewrite the new binary file instead of the original one
5. Set the file attributes to 755 - via total commander in FTP or Shell, for example: chmod 755 /usr/bin/oscam
6. Reboot - for example, using the Shell: reboot

I recommend everyone a manual way to install Oscam: Tutorial : How to install softcam (OSCam/CCCam) manually, if you hate ipk packages

However, you may lose some graphical interface features (if Enigma supports Softcams in the GUI - such as the SoftcamPanel plugin).

Quote from larsmads1

Got it working but now is the issue that the box makes the internet in the house very slow unstable and it is using more than 50% of the capasity

Try another Oscam binary. I've heard that there are also binaries from unknown sources that share your decode card to all people in the world and you don't even know about it (and you don't see it in oscam-LOG).

If it is not a piracy, the communication softcam protocol (cccam / newcamd) or its configuration may be a problem. You can also try to set or limit other versions of the protocol (cccam / newcamd).

In this case, you probably have an inappropriate script. Where does your Oscam come from ? From some softcam feed ? Or is it a manual installation procedure for Oscam ?

What code does your softcam script contain ? Probably there is a mistake. Restarting the softcam must work !

To use this manual installation procedure: Tutorial : How to install softcam (OSCam/CCCam) manually, if you hate ipk packages

Or simply overwrite your current softcam script, my script (after downloading it as described in the manual installation procedure), and then customize the script to suit your needs (for example, the argument "-c" to determine the path to the Oscam configuration directory).

Chocholousek picons - plugin for updating Chocholousek's picons in Enigma2 (all EU satellites)

The original intent for developing this plugin was to save free space on the device's internal disk. The plugin downloads a series of file archives (7-zip) with picons, for user-selected satellite positions. From the archives, the plugin unpacks only the necessary picons to the internal disk (depending on the service reference codes found in the "userboquet" files).

In the new version of the plugin you can choose the method of updating the picons:

• Copy all picons: Delete all current picons as first
• Copy all picons: Incremental update (copy only new picons or picons with different file size)
• Sync with TV channel lists (userbouquet files)
• Sync with TV+RADIO channel lists (userbouquet files)

If the 7-zip archiver is not found on the system, it will be attempted to install it in two steps:

1. with package manager (i.e. attempt to install 7-zip from your Enigma feed server)
2. or attempt to download a standalone 7za binary file from internet

Functionality is guaranteed and tested on Enigmas based on the following OE cores:

• OpenATV, OpenPLi, OpenBH, BH, VTi, PurE2 and some others - based on OE Alliance 4.x or OE 2.0
• OpenDreambox, Merlin, DreamElite - based on OE 2.5 and higher

Unfortunately, not all picon styles exist for all resolutions or vice versa - not all resolutions exist for every picon style (background). All picon styles are available only in picon resolution 220x132 (which can be considered the most used).

Please test the plugin and report bugs.

Thanks.

If you do not mind restarting the Oscam server by your connected clients who are connected to you, then use a simple Oscam restart. This is the simplest and most reliable. Find out which softcam script controls your Oscam and use this script.

Theoretically, you can find auto-start scripts for softcams as follows:

find /etc/init.d -name "*cam*"

Then, for example, restart the oscam using the script:

/etc/init.d/softcam restart

... or ...

/etc/init.d/softcam.oscam restart

If that doesn't work, you can also try calling the script directly through Bash / Sh (Shell):

sh /etc/init.d/softcam restart

I have this entry in my crontab:

# refresh entitlements via Oscam-Webif
0 6 */10 * *      /usr/bin/wget -q -O - "http://yourlogin:yourpassword@127.0.0.1:8888/readers.html?action=reread&label=reader_sci0"

Everything works as it should. No freezing. No problems.

Which set-top box do you own ? Which Enigma do you have installed ?

I don't know what it means to you "reload readers / one reader". You have to write for what purpose you want to do a "reload". It is possible that this can be solved by a completely different method.

Otherwise, I guess.

Do an automatic restart of the whole Oscam. Or I really don't know what you need. Do you want to edit the oscam.server file for your Oscam, and then you want to apply the changes just by restarting a specific Oscam reader ? If so, wouldn't it be easier to restart the entire Oscam completely ? However, this depends on how many users are connected to the Oscam server. It is also important for what purpose, how often, why, you are changing the contents of "oscam.server". However, this time just guess what you probably want to achieve :). I still don't know what you need, sorry.

omg i thought it was a forum when people help each other whit out stupid comments nobody have ask you about to comments maybe i have try to work it out

I have read this entire thread completely and I have not found a single stupidity. But you see them in every other POST. I'm right ? :)

Use attachments, it is plug and play for CD Nordic.

How do i get the old c lines to work with oscam?
