  • Problems tuning wild feeds

    Hi everyone.

    I'm really interested in feedhunting as a hobby so I saved some money to buy the equipment needed. I bought the following stuff:

    -Offset antenna for ku band 83 cm (2 feet 8.67 inches)

    -Universal LNB: Televes 747530, 0,3 dB (Noise Figure) and 60 dB gain

    -Receiver: Edision Os Mio + 4K.


    I've pointed the antenna to Eutelsat 10A. Although I live in Europe in my city the signal that I receive is not the strongest possible, but it's also not weak.

    I'm pointing with an arrow where I live and the footprint of this satellite:

    I have been able to tune the few channels available on Eutelsat 10A. However I haven't been able to tune the wildfeeds. I have been looking for recent active wildfeeds on different websites, and whenever I look for them the receiver can't find anything, as if there was no feed at all, however I know there is one because of the websites, such as:

    Live feeds : active frequencies - Satelliweb


    My receiver language is in spanish, but I will attach screenshots taken in openwebif:

    This is the tuning settings. I have set the LNB as universal. Voltage Mode is "Polarization" and Tone Mode as "Band" I don't understand the meaning of those two.

    This is the signal finder option. As you can see the SNR and AGC are pretty good. One weird thing is that I'm able to pick signal from Astra 19.2 E with the same dish. I think is really weird, because Eutelsat 10A and Astra 19.2 E are very far from each other. Does anyone know why this happens?

    This is the Blind scan menu. This is how I've been trying to look for specific wildfeeds. In this case I was trying to look for an active feed with 11690 Frequency and Horizontal.

    I have also used Manual Search and the Signal finder to look for these feeds, (using the correct Symbol Rate) but never had luck.

    When I try to do blind scan this message appears: "No transponders have been found with these search parameters"

    I don't know if it's important to mention this, but when I tune some channels the SNR is high, but some channels the SNR is 0%, such as the one above. I don't know the reason why this happens.

    And in a few channels this message appears: "Open PiP first". But there are many other channels that I can watch without any problem.


    I'm thinking about some possible reasons why I can't get any of these feeds:


    -The equipment that I have might be a little too short for what I want to achieve, a better LNB and/or a bigger Dish might solve this

    -The tuner in the Edision OS Mio + 4K might not be the best. Might need a Tbs6903 Pro or something like that (although I've heard that some people have been able to tune feeds with this receiver)

    -I might be doing something wrong with the decoder settings and/or search modes (I really don't know if this is how I must try to tune a wildfeed)

    -Another reason, still unknown for me.


    I haven't been able to find videos or more information on Internet. So that's why I'm asking if anyone has had a problem like me and how it was solved.

    Or if you have an idea or might be thinking about a possible solution I would really appreciate your help!

    Any comment might help me, I'm completely new in this and any opinion will be very good for me :smiling face:


    An additional thing: I have ordered a very good High Gain LNB (Best Germany High Gain with 70 db Gain). I will install it soon.


    Thank you very much for reading!


    :hello 1:

  • Can't access to OSCam Webinterface

    I tried installing but I got this message on Telnet:

    -bash: cd: too many arguments


    I tried downloading one of the first versions of Biscoto in ipk and installing it with the following code:

    opkg install /tmp/*.ipk


    And it did appear on my Plugin menu, but I had the same problem: when I select it the software crashes.


    I'm starting to think I might not have previously erased in a proper way the old oscam I had.

    On the softcam configuration I have two options

    -oscam-emu (which appeared when I recently downloaded oscam with your help)

    -Oscam (this option appeared when I first downloaded the oscam that wasn't meant for my decoder)


    In the route /etc/tuxbox/config I have a folder called oscam-emu

    But in both routes (/etc/tuxbox/config and /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu) I have common files such as oscam.conf oscam.server, oscam.user, oscam.ccache, etc..


    Also, when I try to get in Softcam Configuration menu (with oscam-emu selected) I can't see the clients, proxys, etc. they show the following text:

    Error: [Errno 111]Connection refused

    And the Oscam Webinterface does show this problem as well, on the Reader section it says "Reader device error"


    I'm sorry because I'm not a programmer and I might be asking a very silly question, but is it possible that I have two versions of oscams installed simultaneously?


    Do you think I should restore the software and download Softcam again?

  • Can't access to OSCam Webinterface

    Wow! I did what you said and now I can finally access to Oscam Webinterface!!


    Although when I click on blue button I still don't have the OscamPanel on the options. When on Softcam on the black bar above it reads: "Sart/Stop/Select your CAM. You need to install an emu before"


    Also, I'm not sure what to write on "device" in oscam.server since I need to change this for host and port, but I don't really know what is the meaning of that:

    Code
    [reader]
label                         = label1
protocol                      = cccam
device                        = host,puerto
user                          = usuario
password                      = password
enable                        = 0


    I'll get rid of Addkey now :winking face:

  • Can't access to OSCam Webinterface

    Hi georgeflu,

    Thank you very much for your help!

    The image is arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-gcc


    This is part of the crash log:

    Is the oscam-emu the one I first installed? I mean this file: enigma2-plugin-softcams-oscam_11.695-emu-r798_all.ipk

  • Can't access to OSCam Webinterface

    Hi, I'm new to the world of Linux and programming in general. I'd like to correctly install OSCam to my Os Mio + 4K device.

    Since I'm new to this I tried to install the OSCam watching Youtube videos.

    So far I've place a file called: enigma2-plugin-softcams-oscam_11.695-emu-r798_all.ipk to my tmp folder and then I ran the following code via Telnet: opkg install /tmp/*.ipk

    Then I changed three files on /etc/tuxbox/config

    -oscam.conf

    -oscam.server

    -oscame.user


    I'm gonna paste the codes I'm using:


    oscam.conf


    oscam.server


    oscam.user

    Code
    [account]
user                          = dvbapi
group                         = 1
au                            = 1


    Then I updated OSCam by downloading the latest oscam-emu for OS Mio + 4K available on: https://drive.google.com/drive…EFOnaOY853Lcqgl1JWXnDqtZb

    I did that by going to /usr/bin/ and replacing the oscam file with the one I downloaded (and renamed it to just "oscam").

    Then via TELNET I ran the following code: /usr/bin/oscam &


    Now when I go to OpenWebif there is OSCam WebInterface option on the Extras box located in the left side. However when I click it I can't access the interface, because a new blank page pops up with a message that says:

    "This site cannot be accessed. The web page at http://192.168.1.84:6666/ may be temporarily down or may have moved permanently to a new web address.

    ERR_UNSAFE_PORT"


    On my receiver when I click the blue button there appears a menu which didn't appear before. The second option on the menu is Softcam, but when I'm there I only have two options:

    -Softcam Configuration (Control your Softcam)

    -Softcams Download (Download and Install CAM)


    It is weird because I've watched some videos and people with a Softcam installed have a "Softcam Panel" option there as well. But I don't have it, which makes me think I didn't install Softcam correctly.


    I only want to have OSCam to be able to use the AddKey plugin, because I want to manually insert the keys of specific channels to be able to watch them. So I did download the AddKey plugin but when I select the "Add Key Manually" option the software crashes.


    If there's someone who understands this problem and tell me what's going on I would really appreciate it, since I've only learned about this reading some threads and watching some videos, but it's my first time with programming.


    Thank you very much in advance!!
