Is my server looking in the correct place.

I see in the etc/apt/sources.list (which is new to me) the above url. Could this be my problem, and if so can I edit it to a different url.
I also got the following when trying to install pcscd,
Package 'pcscd' has no installation candidate

Pulling my hair out at this stage.
Any suggestions please.

Thanks for getting back to me.
I will try your suggestions tomorrow and post results here. Will I insert the omnikey, leaving the smargo in also, then run lsusb and see what device it sees. Do I need to put both the bus and devise numbers in the config which is what I have with my smargo setup.

Update,
Tried the above but still no joy. One thing that might be important is, when I originally setup the smargo I got it's ID and added this in the 50-udev-default.rules. Do I need to make any changes here for the omnikey. My understanding was that this was to tie the smargo and the card together ???.

I tried that master G but still no joy.
I had also tried running the commamd lsusb which gave me a bus and device so I tried these eg 005, 003. Also put in protocol = pcsc
Is the group important ?.

Hi All,
Any suggestions on the simplest way to change from using a smargo in oscam to an omnikey. Smargo running but I want to compare it to omnikey.
I had a go at changing the oscam reader configs such as protocol=pcsc, new device bus and devise etc, but will not see card. The server I built using the excellent tutorial on this site which runs fine.
Any guide would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

YES _

I done back to back test and posted results here on the forum somewhere a couple of years ago now.

Omnikey with debian server ecm time down to 89ms local newcamd protocol in CCcam ( using N Line )
Smargo with debian server ecm time always over 100 ms _ i think 120 ?

I think omnikey is a better reader for that job in my experience > i will search posts later see if i can find :bong:

Thanks buddy,
I think I will see where I can buy an omnikey and give it a try. I intend to use it on a debian server 12.04 with oscam / cccam setup.

Quote from canthackit

not used a smargo for donkey's years lol
and never an omnikey.

so i'm not the best person to answer that mate.

regards: canthackit

Thanks anyway. Hopefully some other members will voice their opinion.

Talk later.

Quote from canthackit

try oscam works a lot better.

regards: canthackit

Thanks for that.
That was my plan B. I wanted to make sure that everything was ok with my smargo etc in case I brought the problem over to my oscam setup.
Have you any thoughts on smargo V omnikey for reading the 0963 card.

Hi All,
My current ubuntu server 12.04 is running a 0963 card in a smargo using cccam only. Over the past week or so the ecm times on some channels are in the 130ms region but others are as high as 1.09 s. I don't know if I need to substitute the smargo with a new one etc.
All was working OK for the past 18 months up to this. Any suggestions welcome.

Thieving.
Who are you referring to with this statement.
I have my own card and was told that if I setup 2, 3 or even 4 users it will run my card much better.
That's all.

read above masterG reply abt 2.1.3
if u were using over 2.1.3 your local card move to 10 hope away to your peers. i recommend as u have your own local card then do not use at end 256.

Thanks pari,
Your reply's are helpful and to the point.
Thanks for all your help.

hs5424 use your internet ip or dns for 2nd nline.

use one nline at one box

if you were trying to add nline at ubuntu in CCcam.cfg for one use 127.0.0.1 for 2nd use dns or internet ip.

remove 256 at end of nline

Thanks for that,
Let you know how it goes.

Thanks pari for your advise,
Using my 192.168.x.x worked in my N line. What does removing the 256 at the end of the line do.

Quote from master G

I don`t see the point of having another N line with 256, other than faking you have 2 local cards.. Is this what you are trying to do ?

Yes thats what I am trying

Hi All,
My Oscam / cccam ubuntu server is now running for the past week ok. I am running in oscam 9584 and sharing with cccam. I now want to add an additional user2 which I thought was straight forward. I put an extra N line in my cccam config, using the same port 10000 as user 1 but with a different user name and password. When I browse to oscam/users it appears but is offline. I have checked all my settings and compared them to user 1 which is online and working ok. Any suggestions form anyone please.

Hi MasterG,
I created an account ok with different user and pass. See below.
Put these in my cccam.cfg
N: 127.0.0.1 10000 cccam cccam 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 256
N: 127.0.0.1 10000 cccam2 cccam2 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 256

This is in the oscam user

[account]
user = cccam
pwd = cccam
caid = 0963
au = ***uk
group = 1
ident = 0963:000000

[account]
user = cccam2
pwd = cccam2
caid = 0963
au = ***uk
group = 1
ident = 0963:000000

Hi All,
Got my ubuntu server running with oscam reading my card ok. I link this to cccam which shares to my family members, however one family member runs his card and shares using cccam only. I have noticed that most of the clients seem to want to go to the server that is running cccam only. Is there any way to balance the load on both servers as before I changed to oscam both servers had roughly the same amount of active clients. The clients probably go for the quicker card reader ????.

Thanks in advance.

Update All,
Finally got it working with the help of you guys and by going back to basics with my configs. I am interested to see how it runs in oscam compared to cccam. I have attached my now working configs for you guys to take a look at. There are a lot of settings in oscam when I browse into it. 99% I know nothing about but am willing to learn, considering that I come from a time when I worked on valve (vacuum tube) technology. Let me know what you think. Again thanks to MasterG, davvo, Newbie2015, codar, Helloween, and Mckee25. Hope I have not left anyone out.
Talk later.

Thanks for your reply.
Card has entitlements for next 2 months. Live log still says no matching reader when I select premium channels.

Thanks guys for getting back to me.
I confirmed the bus and id are correctly set using lsusb, however I cannot check things out today as the entitlements on the card ran out last night. Maybe some expired before others which would explain the lack of sports etc, ????. In the mean time I will post my configs for you guys to have a look at and make changes or recommendations . They probably need some tweaking to say the least. I would like to disable emms to the server as I prefer the manual method of refreshing the card.

Quote from master G

Show us the configs used and an oscam log while viewing the sport channels..

CCcam may be reading your card before oscam.. If you have any of these parameters enabled in the CCcam.cfg disable by putting # in front or remove them.

Code

#BOXKEY: /dev/sci0 12 34 56 78
#SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 3750000

Thanks masterG.
I just tried # out the clock freq and the boxkey but no joy. The card will run all channels in cccam but only standard ones in oscam. Willing to try anything at this stage.
P.S. I tried with and without a boxid in the oscam.server.

Hi MasterG,
Hope you can view the attached log. It says no matching reader.

Hi MasterG
Oscam conf attached

Thanks guys,
Update on my problem is that I now have Oscam reading the card but it will not open the sports channels so looks like that I missed something in the server config ???. If I run the card in cccam the sports channels open ok.

Quote from Helloween

You can start with downlading oscam/cccam from the linuxsat support server. After that you have available config for your card on the same server.
To finish your setup just change what you need to change in the etc/tuxbox/config folder.

hope you'll make it
Cheers!
