Hi
I am trying to to get the status of which is the client current channel shown in the oscam status page. ATM its blank.
I used to use a CCcam server and could get the info using cccaminfo but I cant find how to do this in oscam
All I can see is the srvid which I can then sort out manually

Iame,
It probably easier bud to explain what problems you may be experiencing?
I don't think there is a Hands On Manual that will explain the ins and outs e.t.c bearing in mind its not corporate or money backed so to speak!
If you hover over the headings (idle, Ok e.t.c) you should see a caption of what they mean to answer that specific question!
But i haven't touched mine for months apart from restarting and updating certain files like whitelist for example (normally issues are flagged in forum when they need to be changed lol), i find if its doing what you wish then leave it and enjoy some TV or perhaps setup a few other experiments!
If you are experiencing problems post what they are and we will get you sorted!
I agree with this...
but I also think a main part of the forum is to educate so members can improve and pass on their knowledge to newer members.
If this is not done then the scene will not survive .
I posted a very specific problem concerningan oscam server which I cant sort out and is "in process" ATM but dosent it seem to raise any response in the way of soiving it so I or any other member could
I feel that if more was done to direct or show members how things worked then all would benefit
BTW at the same time I must say that this forum is one of the best and is mostly responsible for me getting my server up and running (Thanx Ten Below) -
Just noticed that a time issue has been noted by grayboy (post #6 in tenbelows poll for best dm500 image sticky
Maybe its a bug in the image . Pity really cos its a great image -
Hi Ok
Time zone is set to GMT which does not have a daylight saving time option
No option to adjust transponder time just receiver time
An there is no internet time
With receiver time set correctly transponder time is 1 hour behind and bouquet times are also showing 1 hour behind although programs run OK
Bouquet is enigma 1 DL from SgtFlipFlop -
Im using a gemini 470 image
The bouquet times are 1 hour out
I can set timezone and have adjusted the receiver time which is different to transponder time but although information gives correct time, the bouquet times are 1 hour out
Is there any way to sort this out? -
so if they are less than 6 weeks it shows its not updating and thats when to check why not
So there isnt a log or monitor to checkit live? -
yes I can do that but how often do they update the card
I just want to check if it is updating OK and not leave it till last minute -
its been running overnight OK no problems
Just a quick question
How do you tell if card is updating and receiving ecms -
hi
yes I thought it may be that just changed it and it looks to be better
Ill leave it for a bit and get back to you
Hopefully its sorted so thanks again -

I have got the mgcamd running OK now but have not set it to update yet

Hi Ten Below thanks for reply
ATM Im using a vu duo with vix 2.4 and cccam 221 connected to an oscam server running debian linux
I want to change the cccam to mgcam cos I read this is best if you want to do card updates (currently updates are turned off with cccam)
Do I need mgcamd to do updates and cccam as it is now and or can it replace cccam
Also not sure on what ecm settings to use, such as whether I need ecm whitelist and which to block -
hi
from what ive read mgcamd is recommended for card updating so trying to change my box over to mgcamd from cccam to update my oscam server.
I dled mgcam and it installed OK now I need to change the newcamd.list and mg_cfg files and a bit stuck
They are supposed to be in /var/keys but I cant seeem to get into that folder using flashxp (keeps redirecting to /usr/keys and the folder is blank)Do I just make new mgcamd files in /usr/keys ?
Also Im a bit confused about port settings
in this example for newcamd.list

I think the 34001 port is for newcamd in oscam.conf but completely lost about what the lan and newcs are for
also what is CWS and is the incoming port needed for a mgcamd client? -
Next command to restart pcsc:
/etc/init.d/pcscd restart[/QUOTE]My problem happens about 1ce a week so I thought I would try
just changed to --error option and tried to run pcscd again using pcscd restart but got unknown option: restart -
Hi
Not sure if this is related to your problem.But have you edited the /etc/init.d/pcscd file so you do not get the never ending log file which causes the the service to crash.
This happens usually after a day or so after the log file increases to massive size.
nano /etc/init.d/pcscd
There look next lines:
# if you need to pass arguments to pcscd you should edit the file
# /etc/default/pcscd and add a line
# DAEMON_ARGS="--your-option"And please change it to:
# if you need to pass arguments to pcscd edit to:
# /etc/default/pcscd and add a line
DAEMON_ARGS="--error"
And hit from the keyboard ctrl+o and enter to save the changes and ctrl+x to exitNext command to restart pcsc:
/etc/init.d/pcscd restartI have a similar problem
Omnikey stops reading the card oscam is OK
I pull it out of the USB and put it back and its OK again
The PCSCD has# if you need to pass arguments to pcscd you should edit the file
# /etc/default/pcscd and add a line
DAEMON_ARGS="-e"Is this the same as "-DAEMON_ARGS="--error"
