Not compiled oscam on a dreambox New. This is where I came from....

1.. have 3 dreamboxes 2 dm800 clones and dm500. Loaded all up with cccam 2.2.1 and using 1 dm800 to share internally with the other two over cccam all working and using internal card reader for my sly card.

2.. Got an old acer revo pc and loaded debian on it and tried to connect my infinity as a card reader but had problems due to usb to serial cable issue. Ordered a smargo reader and was able to connect that using cccam2.2.1 on the debian image. card was seen so I just configured one dm800 to work as the client with thr debian server using cccam 2.2.1 all ok.

3. Now want to put oscam on my debian and use that. At the moment I have reverted back to using the dm800 as the server so the other two boxes can see tv but ulimately want to get my debian sever working and all three boxes using that.

Hope that clears stuff up New. At the time of writing this my card is back in the dm800.

Hi New I am or at least trying to. I have those three oscam files in my usr/local/etc. I thought that you just edited those and then created a N line for cccam. Am I missing summat at rhe moment I am running from my dreambox as stated but want to move to m this server I have set up. or at least am trying to set up. Cheers

Hi again New. Could you have a look at my comments on the oscam files I have put in what I think I need to change for it to work. Obviously I need to
create accounts for each dmbox but have I got it correct cheers and now that I have oscam on my server can I remove cccam or is it not neccesary to do that?? Again thanks for the help.

Hi again New,
At the moment my dreambox is the server and it has 2 clients attached to it via cccam. All that is fine I can see that on the 16001 i/f. I have set up a server with debian and want to move to that. I have successfullt installed a smargo on the server and it sees the card and can clear one of my dreamboxes using cccam.

I have loaded oscam on the server using above process and added three files to it. I know I have to set up the files with my info but I am a bit stuck as to how I start oscam on my server. Or it maybe running but how do I tell. All mI have done so far is compile it using your gr8 tut and created the three files. I will get to grips with the config once I can see it running. Hope this makes sense New. Cheers.

OK I have copied three files over that I found for Sly card on here and put em in the usr/local/etc. I used these files...http://linuxsat-support.com/os…pdating-entitlements.html I think these are the files that go on a dreambox when you run oscam on that?? I am getting a bit confused as to what I need on my server and what I need on the dreambox. My view is (I think) I need oscam running on my server and my cccam2.2.1 confi on my dreambox only needs an N line with the details is. Is that correct. If so I must be nearly there. I have run the install on my server. (this thread) how do I start oscam as I followed the tut to compile it and it has all gone ok. How do I see it like I can on the web if with 2.2.1 cccam

Sorry to sound dumb but am floundering a bit to join up the bits

Cheers Newe,
Am just starting with oscam so bumbling along at mo got me server working fine with cccam but as read this has limited life so need to get up to speed on oscam.

OK all seemed to go fine but dont have the three config files in the usr/local/etc dir. can I get em from somewhere and copy em in?

Hi New thanks for the link. I was pasting the whole line in as per my post. you alternative worked a treat cheers will plod on

Hi guys am trying to follow Newtolynux idiots guide for compiling oscam. All woz going well till I got to this step...

root@steve67474:/usr/src# svn co oscam - Revision 5352: /trunk oscam
svn: invalid option:
Type 'svn help' for usage.
root@steve67474:/usr/src#

I got an invalid option back. Am cutting and pasting so no typos. running debian 6 server. Any help appreciated

Just an Update Guys, BIG thanks to thecableguy who helped me hugely on MSN I would not have the patience he has thats for sure. I tried ubuntu and got nowhere with that so I reloaded Debian and put my newly arrived smargo in and hey presto can see the reader and the card. Just need to config the cccam cfg file now to put my dreamboxes in and all should be up and running. The cableguy recommended I go to oscam. I am trying to get my head around oscam. Do I need oscam on the dreamboxes and is it just like cccam? I believe you just need N lines? I understand cccam with c and f lines is oscam much different? Any tut around for it. Again big thanks to all that helped me get my first server off the ground Whooopeee:47_002:

Hi Gary,
I was weened on the cable scene like you and knew it inside out if you know what I mean. I am on the same learning curve but a bit further up it. The support here is second to none with great tuts. Perservere m8 and I am sure you will get there I can see light at the end of the tunnel now. Thing is with these boxes the more you fook up the more you learn in most cases you can always recover a box and I have the same box as you m8. Messed it up a few times but now am getting to grips with it. If I can help as a newbie I will but loads on here to help you. Sometimes its where to start with all this new terminology. I remember the cable for beginners guide it was the bible. If I can get there m8 I am sure u can. Hope this helps.

Steve

Hi guys had a thought about this prob I have. The tut says to right button click on the desktop vlc icon. This is the shortcut to the program and add the following --intf wxwin --extraintf=http in the target box. I do that. It then says start vlc from main program start menu. This starts ok cause that line is not in there. If you go to properties on the main vlc program not the shortcut the extra info is not there. AH Ha I thought, thats my problem. I add it to the main program but then cant start VLC player. Bit confused here. (easily done)

So tut says properties on desktop shortcut and add line to that but start VLC from main start menu. It starts but that doesn't have the extra line in. Is that right as I still cant get this sucker to work without crashing dreambox. cheers.

Hi guys,

Ok an update. I would say that my cable is the issue now as I remember I had issues with it on windows when I was active on the Cable TV front. It was recommended a PL 2303 was needed for it to work. I thought I would have more luck on the linux front. I have bitten the bullet and gone for a smargo reader off fleabay as it was a good deal. would have used sponsor store if price was comparable but ££ saving and all the research I did says this is a genuine one.

LATEST MODEL - 'Smargo' SmartReader+ external USB cardreader
Genuine Maxdigital Argolis.com product, beware of cheap Chinese copies,

whilst awaiting delivery I will read up the tuts for installing smargo. Hopefully perserverence and a little help from you kind guys will get me there

Hi Guys me again.
After a exhaustive attempt to get my pheonix working via a usb2serial cable I am going to go with a smargo reader. Looking on fleabay they vary in price vastly from about 18 quid to thirty plus. Should I be wary of the cheapie end any advice appreciated. Would rather spend a bit more knowing I have a good un or are they all much the same. cheers

Thanks newtolinux that being the case then a smargo it is unless any1 knows of a working usb2serial converter as it probably will be the cheaper option. Has to deffo work tho otherwise good money after bad. Can I say a big thanks to all that has helped on my problem support here is great plus thaks for your patience.

oops just saw in my config file on boxkey line a "USB" that needs removing will do that now but thats not the reason why its not working

OK guys recap as to what I did
Have an Acer revo with no OS so downloaded the latest Debian image.

1.. installed it using ten belows tut Debian Linux server with CCcam auto install script all went ok (I believe) ended up with cccam 2.1.4

2.. updated the cccam to 2.2.1 using how to update debian/ubuntu to cccam 2.2.0 tut all went ok system shows now 2.2.1

3.. followed master G Tutorial: How to install Infinity USB programmer on a Debian with CCcam all went ok

Right the unknowns are that I am using aHL340 USB to serial cable. My LSusb looks like this

I have tried various other config options suggested but when I look at my local card under CS Studio I get this.....
