in addition to this, you can get peer updates if you put

F: user pass 2 0 1 { 0:0:2 } for example, instead of
F: user pass 2 0 0 { 0:0:2 }
in the flines you set for your peers.

note the change in red

this can speed things up.

of course before you do step 3, backing up your settings - get your channel lists sorted out as this is what you are backing up! - yes the last step can be done last and is only needed if you want to use softcam keys - which you might not need anyway if you have a share. These are very basic boxes - but at the price they are being sold at now are good value. I bought one for twice the current price and when I sold it I only got the price it is being sold at now!

i have the same in my router digi - infact this is probably a better option (i have done both!) as it prevents conflicts if you have some of your devices on dhcp - It probably won't be too hard for you to check this outside your network - maybe take your receiver to a friends house - and I am sure you can think of other ways - plenty of peeps willing to help. Word of advice if you decide to use the PI as a server permanently, get a decent SD card - I had one melt on me and had to start from scratch as I didn't back up - oh, and back things up too..

yep that seems right - the last one 'to load a softcam by usb' is referring to softcam key files - not softcam as such - the softcams are enabled by installing the patch and enabling super settings, which you have already covered.

Congrats in getting the PI set up - makes a great Oscam server. Not used No-IP - but I use dyndns address, which i can set up on my router - and you need to forward the server port to the internal IP address of your PI - Of course you need to ensure that the IP address on your PI is static - to do this, you can match the PI's mac address to the IP address you want, or - better still, set this on your PI - Edit the file - /etc/network/interfaces - hash out what is already there, and add this (edit this to suit your network)

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback




auto eth0




iface eth0 inet static
       address 192.168.x.x
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       network 192.168.x.0
       broadcast 192.168.x.255
       gateway 192.168.x.1

where I have put the x's - just adjust to your own network

address - the IP of your pi
netmask - usually ok unaltered

the next three - usually ok if kept how it is - but change the x to 0,1, or two depending on your router settings

the above will usually be ok for most setups
reboot PI and your ip should be fixed

to add - as seamouse said - dynamic dns address won't work inside your server - but should work so long as the service is constantly up to date with your dynamic IP

DVBAPI is for if you are using Oscam only on a receiver as apposed to PC server or Oscam/CCcam. If Oscam is for the cardreader only and the server is CCcam, then you need to ensure that the AU is set to either '1' or to the label of your card as set in oscam.server, and CCcam doesn't have EMMs disabled.

Can you confirm if you have tested the line? - if it isn't working it will report as failed. As far as i remember, in the 'super settings' you first need to select the softcam, then enter the server address - then the port, then user, then password - then test the line. (not sure if it is in this order)

i have to put the nline in the cccam.conf?

If you are setting an nline for a friend then they put it in their CCcam.cfg- in your scenario - oscam is a server using newcamd protocol and you have set up your friend's line by configuring newcamd in oscam.conf - setting up a user account in oscam.user, and ensuring that the port is forwarded correctly.

seamouse think you are slightly hijacking the thread - yes you are right but you only use '256' if the share is internal, and you are using no later version than CCcam 2.1.3

Firstly - ensure the port you set in oscam.conf newcamd protocol is unique and is not being used by any other emu or protocol on your server.

Secondly - ensure the nline you give to your peer has the following format

N: hostaddress port username password 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

hostaddress is your dyndns, and port is the one you set up on newcamd settings in oscam.conf and forwarded on your router to the ip of your oscam server.

take it you checked to see what IP address the receiver is assigned to? - after reflashng you may find that this changes. Also - can you confirm whether you tried to install backup settings from your previous install? - Quick search tells me that if you have, then you could have broken the FTP protocol, and you will have to start again.

There are probably several ways to have your tuners set up - the way you watch tv and record tv will dictate what is the best way to configure things, so long as the way it is set works for your setup. I am sure there are arguments against my suggestion, and if your previous setup wasn't the cause of your current issue, then you may still find it works better for you - so long as you understand how the system prioritises tuners....

Is this how you have always had it set up on other images? - and did you have the same issues? - if you have tuner b as a loopthrough then i am assuming you just have 2 feeds, so this behaviour would be expected if you are trying to view something on tuner b that is on a different transponder to what tuner a was last tuned to. The tuners work on a priority basis, A-B-C - so I would suggest setting up first feed on tuner A, second feed on tuner B - and if you are doing a loopthrough then use C for this. It might work better this way. With no experience of this set up I can't confirm this but as I understand, this should work better.

I have considered using the VIX 3042 image, but do not know how to install the pluggins from a USB stick?

news to me - images generally have an addons feed, you can install via ftp or using an addons panel such as tspanel - there is much info on this on the forum

Quote from thejoker

I really like the VIX image. I set a vu solo up for a friend of a friend who took the c line off his box and used it on a couple of his friends boxes. I only set boxes up for friends and people I know but think it would be good if I could block the server line being displayed...

Care to elaborate more on your arrangement? when you say 'the cline' - where does this come from? your server, a peer? - also a cline should not be used in more than one receiver - most servers will block use from multiple IP addresses or duplicate log ons. Also when you 'set up' boxes, from what you say, it is clear you are adding a cline - so how does this arrangement work, and also, if they are people you know, why do you want to hide the server line?

this is basic card sharing - think you need to read a bit more as these questions are answered many times over

start here

http://linuxsat-support.com/os…oscam-quick-tutorial.html

just save your configs, and you can get a debian server up and running in no time...

wasn't getting any issues of this kind on my oscam/debian setup - although it might be an issue with the sly card, as mine were running fine with different cards - although my server is not particularly busy either.

Try using debian maybe....

o yes me on lan, 110ms, gf 98ms her brother 120 ect

what is

18/08/2012 11:48:17 0 acasc: user 'xtrend' exceeds limit

mean? as thats me

Display More

that means you have anticascading set up and a user has exceeded the limit - in other words, they (or you in this instance) have been busier on your server than you are allowing, and this can (depending on how you have it set) mean that you kick them off, send them a fake ECM, or sometimes it is just recorded in the log with no action - which is default i think - which is why you get the report but no concequence. This can be turned on or off as required for each user. I think it might be an idea for you to look at the oscam wiki - will help you get more to grips with it and answer your questions - link to this on the orange bar near the top on this forum.

i have webif

in main page just says the user, the port, ip caid and channel thats it

but if i go to user it says the cw rate ect, maybe im missing a setting

difficult for me to be clearer as I am away from my setup - but you can definitely see the amount of requsets you are giving or getting - there are a lot of stats if you are in the right place.

Quote from seamouse

cheers, i meant where in oscam do i look? ie user one 300 ecms per min etc

is it under user and the ok type?

do you have your webinterface set up? - if you do then you can see requests from peers in the user and reader headings - there is a list of each peer, and it then tells you the amount of requests - think it isnt based on time - just an accumulation, so just restart your server and then check in an hour to get an idea
