Hi nano.

Thanks for that, will do the search tomorrow when I am by the server.

Cheers.

Hi.

I am new to ubuntu/oscam, so please forgive me if this query is something fundamental that I have missed the point on.

I have read and followed some of the excellent tutorials on this forum, and as a result I have a working server up and running that has a slight issue of not clearing some of the HD channels.

My system is 32 Bit with the latest ubuntu and last stable oscam, with an omnikey.

Most of my HD channels are clearing from ***uk, including the movies, but some others aren't, including sport and a few others.

I have replaced my dvbapi, services and srvid config files with new ones taken today from hdsat.pl

It could be that my card/reader is not set correctly, although most HD stuff is working. My clock rate is set to 600MHz and protocol to pcsc, maybe these are wrong for the omnikey? I have set device to 000:000, which may be wrong, but when I set it to what ubuntu was saying, oscam would not connect.

The one thing I have not done is fill in the boxid in the oscam.server file, instead have put 00000000. The reason for this may be a route one mistake. But I can't work out what number on my box or card should go here. Or if it needs any special formatting with spaces etc.

I have tried searches in the forum for this issue, but can't seem to find a similar issue or a hint to follow.

I would really appreciate any help in identifying what may be causing this issue.

Could someone also give me an example of how to format my box or card number for the boxid parameter, and what number I should be using, one off the card or one off the box/receiver.

Also, could someone point me to post that explains what the command lines do in the configuration scripts.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is my oscam.server script.

[reader]
label = blahblahblah
protocol = pcsc
device = 000:000
detect = cd
cardmhz = 600
mhz = 600
boxid = 00000000
blockemm-u = 0
blockemm-s = 0
blockemm-g = 1
blockemm-unknown = 1
emmcache = 1,3,2
group = 1
caid = 0963

Hi Ten Below.

Thank you, that's a real help and will stop me from doing unnecessary testing.

Yes, you are right about the xeon server. The only reason that I used it, was so I had good powerful machine with solid hardware to do my initial testing. I was also using the 64 bit installs first of all, and my netbook only has a 32 bit CPU.

The main problem I have had is that I am new to Linux, and it's taking me time learning what is probably simple routine stuff with the OS and the applications. I now have a good working 32 bit ubuntu/oscam server, except for an issue clearing some HD channels. I will find the appropriate sub forum to post about my HD issue, as I have done a fair bit of searches and followed some guides, but still having an issue.

If anyone reading is interested. Besides the slight HD clearing issue that I am having, which is obviously down to me. You may want to look in to the Dell Mini 9 as a nice compact portable server. My Mini 9 is an Atom CPU running at 1.6GHz, N270 I think. It only has an 8GB SSD and 1GB RAM, but these seem well fast enough to run ubuntu and oscam on 32 bit with an Omnikey, on a local network. You can find these cheap on ebay.

Cheers.

Hi.

I am very new to all this and would appreciate any help with this question.

After following some excellent guides on this forum, thanks to thatfellow. I now have two working systems, a pretty hefty dual xeon running ubuntu/oscam in 64bit and an old atom netbook running ubuntu/oscam 32 bit.

While I understand that there is a massive difference between their abilities to process and serve. Are there any real differences running ubuntu/oscam on the same machine between 32 and 64 bit?

The main reason for asking is that the 32 bit install on my netbook seemed to be a bit smoother.

Thanks for any advice.
