Oscam Enigma2

[stevie1961]

Can anyone post a link to how I can set up Oscam on my Elite please
Is there a precompiled binary that I can use ?

Big thanks to the team, RC3 is the bees knees, Brilliant :respect-040:

[dvb9999]

The same problem would like to install OSAAM a tutorial or online installation. Thank you!

I think you can just put it into a folder and put config in /usr/local/etc.. I think binary is the same...

[sectorNOlimits]

You can download excutable file from official forum site, unpack it on a pc and copy (via ftP) inside /usr/bin, rename just as "oscam" change attribute to 755, copy settings files to /etc/tuxbox/config/

Now you need a mechanism to start the softcam, and I use a service script at runlevel 3, no plugin, no menu...
Copy the attahced file in /etc/init.d and give attribute 755, then in terminal give a link command

ln -s /etc/rc3.d/S90oscam /etc/init.d/oscam

now you can do a:
/etc/inigt.d/oscam start &
and you have oscam running

Use New Menu plugin to control and download softcams.

Hi! Can anybody tell me how generaly oscam works? I was fighting all night until 6am and I could not force it to work. Using oscam do I need CCcam too or oscam only and nothing else? I can see that oscam is connnected to remote server but tv screen is black :( I have installed CCcams versions: 2.1.2 2.1.4 2.2.1 But when I'm trying oscam no one CCcam is running. Do I have to uninstall all CCcam first before I run oscam or maybe I have still errors in config files?

thanks in advance for any sugestions.

[ravemaster]

I´ve installed New Menu Plugin and and from there Oscam and Emu Manager.
I can Start and Stop Oscam from there.

BUT: Where can i find the Config Files for Oscam on my Box.:angelsad2:

regards

[kunter]

Yours configfiles should be in /var/tuxbox/config/

[Smudger]

Manually create the config folder.

[ravemaster]

Hi

Thanks for the Help. Now i need help to config Oscam as a CCClient with a Cline.

Many Thanks

In oscam.server create a reader section based on cccam protocol as you prefer base it on doc file you can find here:

http://streamboard.gmc.to/svn/oscam/...cam.server.txt

a sample:
CCcam reader

[reader]
	   label = mycccamreader
	   protocol = cccam
	   device = 192.168.0.3,3456
	   account = user,password
	   group = 5
	   caid = 0300,0400,0500
	   cccversion = 1.2.3
	   cccbuild = 4567

You also need to enable dvbapi in oscam.conf

[johan]

is it possible to make oscam read Total tv nds3 card in smargo instead of newcs and work with mbox 06 like reader?

The STB is a Premium one if it matters
Well, what I have do so far is:
1. Installed New Menu plugin
2. Using New menu plugin, I have downloaded and installed Emu Manager and Oscam
3. Then I went to /etc/tuxbox/config and have modified/edited oscam.server fail like below:

[reader]
label = Test1
protocol = cccam
device = my.dyndns.org,1234
account = myuser,mypassword
group = 5
caid = 0300,0400,0500
cccversion = 2.1.4
cccbuild = 4567

My changes are in Bold, e.g. what I have modified is based on my C line which is: my.dyndns.org 1234 myuser mypassword
Of course I have modified the real C line, just put it here for better clarity, e.g. what I have put under devices and account lines.
Note: I have no any knowledge in Oscam, so pls excuse me if you see I have done stupid stuff…

4. The files oscam.conf & oscam.user I have left untouched. They are looking like below:

oscam.conf

#[global]
Nice = -1
WaitForCards = 1
ClientTimeout = 30
LogFile = stdout

[account]
user = user1
pwd = pass1

services =
caid = 0604
betatunnel =
ident = 0604:000000
cccmaxhops = 10
keepalive = 1
numusers = 0
penalty = 0

5. Now I have stopped CCCam and started Oscam from Emu Manager menu and ofcourse got nothing :o15:
Well, that all I have done and now I am looking fort your further instructions: What I have to edit and how?
Please guide me and specify exact file and line which to be modified and exactly How/what to put. I would really appreciate detailed instructions as I don’t have any knowledge with Oscam
Re: “also need to enable dvbapi in oscam.conf” – How exactly, pls give me the section/lines I have to add
Yes, I know CCCam works OK, but reason for trying to test Oscam is because I want to check Recording function of the Box
Will use Oscan ONLY as a CCcam client and not for card reader
Thanks is advance
Cheers!

First of all I think is better for you to study each wiki files from official website http://streamboard.gmc.to:8001/, and follow the forum http://oscam.ump2002.net/board/index.php where you can find all what you are asking for.
Bytheway, I don't know if via plugin manager we are sure oscam is running and how. But, this is my file (little bit clear than yours... because you can configure a lot of things but not always you need all of them; check the meaning of each one just to understand what you are doing and understand oscam mechanism).

oscam.conf
[global]
nice = -1
WaitForCards = 1
#logfile = /dev/null
[webif]
httpport = 8081
httpuser=user
httppwd=password
httpallowed = 127.0.0.1,192.168.8.0-192.168.8.255
[dvbapi]
user = azbox
enabled = 1
au = 1

I don't use a connection like C line, so I really don't know the exact form of each files. Try and look to the official forum.

you still need to connect to it using a client like mgcamd.

oscam is like a half way house for other protocols.

Hi,

I'm trying to get oscam running just reading the Azbox internal card reader.

So far I get "some" response from the card (it sees what card is in the reader) but that is about it...

any help is appreciated.

...because you can configure a lot of things but not always you need all of them; check the meaning of each one just to understand what you are doing and understand oscam mechanism).

Easy to say this. In absolute terms, you are correct. But in practical terms I am afraid you may be misguided a little, if this cam is to "take over", as it were...

Because, that's a lot of hair gone, right there, even if one is already well prepared by previous education/experience in technical/IT sciences...

See this, as there are a huge many of settings to understand and know what they do:

http://streamboard.gmc.to/svn/oscam/trunk/Distribution/doc/txt/oscam.conf.txt

I mean, have a look at this:

The [anticasc] section
enabled = 0|1
1 = enabled anti-cascading, default:0

numusers = quantity
anti-cascading: user per account, 0 = anti-cascading disabled, default:0

sampletime = minutes
duration of sample, default:2

samples = quantity
quantity of samples over limit, default:10

penalty = 0|1|2
level of penalty:

0 = only logging
1 = send fake CWs
2 = disbable user temporary

default:0, penalty can be overwritten per user in oscam.user

aclogfile = filename
file for anti-cascading logging, default:none

fakedelay = milli-seconds
fake delay time, default:1000

denysamples = quantity
How many samples should be penalized?, default:8

Most people do not have these skills/experience/knowledge, so we would need a better, simpler but precise enough guide, without the unnecessary jargon, I think.

I mean no disrespect to the developer's hard work and good will but this stuff is rather complex and needs a rather good and jargon-free explanation, with plenty of examples, if people are to use it, it seems to me...

Please, do not misunderstand me, I do wish to learn but the stuff would need to be accessible to non-technically educated people, as most users are not that well educated in those terms.

Let me give you an example:

http://streamboard.gmc.to/svn/oscam/trunk/Distribution/doc/txt/oscam.ac.txt

oscam.ac(5) oscam.ac(5)

NAME
oscam.ac - anti-cascading table for OSCam

SYNOPSIS
anti-cascading table

DESCRIPTIONS
<CAID>:<provider ID>=<seconds>
define time cycles between CWs changes relating to CAID and provider ID

*=<seconds>
default time cycles between CWs changes required

EXAMPLES
0100:000000=10
*=7

SEE ALSO
list_smargo(1), oscam(1), oscam.cert(5), oscam.conf(5)....etc.

...as it goes on like that for a while... but when you get there it's more of the same...

Thanx to Linch, this is a good example/guide but it needs additional explanations, if we are to understand the inner workings of OScam and then apply the necessary changes, depending on our boxes, smartcards etc.:

last oscam mipsel binary works great so with internal cardreader tested on rti_e2 rc3 this is the configuration for oscam.server

[reader]

enable = 1
Label = freex
protocol = internal
device = /dev/sc0
EMMCache = 1,1,2
Group = 1
CAID = 0500
ident = 0500:041700

Examples like this one are a little too sparse, I think:

http://streamboard.gmc.to/svn/oscam/trunk/Distribution/doc/example/oscam.conf

However, to make it even more difficult, there are gazzilions of tons of versions of OScam, files inside etc. etc.

On top of that, sometimes the latest version is not the right/functioning one... How to know which one is OK for you?

And so on and on and on...

I think the team making it would need to inform us better of what's what...

Pretty please! I would love to use it but... OS anything gets my goat going and in this hobby in particular!

But we need it to become more user-friendly, I think.

Thanx a bunch for your hard work, once again. Just get a "user educator" on board as well, who will be able to guide us well through the maze we are presented with - that is to say, this incredible little big gift, which most of us do not know where to begin understanding, let alone use it confidently and competently enough for our needs...

I'm not so expert on all settings and variant of oscam parameters, but I can say to you all that make an oscam running and get it works on azbox is really simple. I don't use any kind of cam manager or plugin that help me on configure the cam, I only work in a shell. About which kind of binary to use you are right, there are a lot, and not always are good. Remember we have to use the mipsel ones. I've just tested the last one at the moment of my tests, and if it runs well for my goal I stop testing newest or older one. If I meet problems I try an older one. In the official site you can read the timeline where you find all the new implemetation and bug correction. So you can monitor if you need to update it for your specific card(s).

Now, I can give you the simplest way to run oscam in azbox (or any other kind of receiver) connecting it to c-line.
You have just to configure two files with these parameter:

oscam.conf

[global]
nice = -1
WaitForCards = 1
#logfile = /dev/null
[webif]
httpport = 8081
httpuser=user
httppwd=password
httpallowed = 127.0.0.1,192.168.8.0-192.168.8.255
[dvbapi]
user = azbox
enabled = 1
au = 1

oscam.server

[reader]
label = mycccamreader
protocol = cccam
device = <srv-ip>,<port>
account = <user>,<password>
group = 1
cccversion = 2.0.11

run oscam and all go well.

In this way you accept all caids from server, and maybe for some priority reasons some provider doesn't work. In that case you have to add more settings....

About on how to setup an oscam run as a service I posted it in my previous post.

About the use of an internal reader, I didn't tested yet.

Last words: I'm experiencing recording issue SD,HD using that kind of cam. But I'm not sure it is always the cam give me problems, also in FTA channels I've troubles. E2 is in RC and we all are making tests..... maybe new driver are more stable and reliable.
