  • Ncam Emu compiled and patched by RAED

    Hello fairbird

    I have a lot of questions regarding ncam. I've been reading the code on github to search some answers but I'm not finding them.


    -ncam is a fork of oscam-emu. What are the main changes? Does it have all upstream patches?

    -do you need 2 emulator readers (one local and one internet)?

    -is constant.cw reader needed while already using the emulator with softcam.key?

    -is the autoroll.key file ever used? If it is, is it used by emulator? Where are the logs of it being accessed?

    -is the ncam.cookies file necessary? I don't see documentation about it

    -how to use ncam.fs? there's no documentation about it


    -------------------------------

    Please also provide better settings files. example:

    Code
    disablecrccws_only_for          = 1708:000000;1811:003311,003315;09C4:000000;0500:030B00,042820;0604:000000;1819:00006D;0100:00006D;1810:000000;1884:000000;0E00:000000
disablecrccws                 = 1

    If you include "disablecrccws=1", the "disablecrcws_only_for" line is useless.

    Make sure that the included setting files are as minimal as possible

    The ncam.dvbapi file has a lot on invalid entries. Example: MEO is not "P: 0100" for a lot of years now.

    The ncam.services file should be empty and only filled by users that need to use it

    The ncam.provid has missing providers (meo is once again an example)

    The constant.cw file has an invalid key (last line)


    Try to reduce the settings file to only ncam.conf with only the webif configuration and nothing more. Less is better.

    If possible, increase the documentation available for ncam, in good english. A software is only as good as its documentation.

    Thank you for your work

  • Oscam a lot of freezes.

    disablecrccw = 1 disables crc check for every caid

    disablecrccw_only_for = xxxx disables crc check just for caid xxxx


    you use one or another. not both.

    to avoid unwanted freezes, don't use disablecrccw = 1 because your decoder might receive fake or corrupted ecms with it enabled.

  • oscam freezes but ecm is good

    You've received an invalid ECM but oscam doesn't know about it. That's quite common because more and more people are faking cards, sending invalid ecms and destroy sharing.

    You can enable ECM doublecheck or CW cycle check for the caid's that fail the most

  • SKY DE

    If sky de isn't decoding, freezes or only opens some channels, you don't have enough shares. That's it

  • openpli 10.3- sim2.1 - ssl84d - dm800se - 2022.08.24

    Thank you for the update. I made a clean install with the latest version and it works smoothly with some caveats

    - samba requires a full phyton3 installation. There's not enough space for that

    - opkg update folowed by opkg upgrade works but gives errors (bus error).

    - ram usage is a bit higher compared to pli4. make sure that you have a swap file somewhere just in case

    - if you only use this device to watch satellite tv, you can remove all plugins and most extensions for better performance and free space (ex serviceapp servicemp3)


    Do you have the sources for this rom? Don't get me wrong, any unofficial rom might have unintended modifications
