Anyone else using Oscam on vix?

Hi all,

I've been using mgcamd on my box for a while. But I noticed that it was slowing the GUI down, every menu, channel changes lagging a lot. As soon as I disable mgcamd, the box would speed up. This was on a fresh image install (vix 4.x).

So I thought I'd try using Oscam 1.2svn11211. But this seems to cause glitching almost every minute. I know its a local setting as mgcamd was working fine with regards to no glitches.

Does anyone else here use Oscam on this box? If so, what version and if you would like to share your non personal oscam files.

Alternatively, perhaps my mgcamd files settings need changing?

Have used cccam previously, but providers have said to use mgcamd or oscam for reliability. Indeed cccam was causing glitching on certain channels for me.

Thanks.
 
That version of oscam should work. There is a latest version 1.2 11272 but that shouldn't be your issue. Its probably your oscam server or config file that is probably causing the issue.

This is my oscam.server file, it was created using a convertor tool:

[reader]
label=hostserver.xxx.xxx
enable=1
protocol=newcamd
key=0102030405060708091011121314
device=hostserver.xxx.xxx,00000
user=xxxx
password=xxxx
group=1
inactivitytimeout=1
reconnecttimeout=30
lb_weight=100
cccversion=2.1.2
cccmaxhops=10
cccwantemu=1
ccckeepalive=1

First of all there is to much crap in there. Try this.

[reader]
label = host server
protocol = newcamd
device =host server,?????
user = ?
password = ?
key = 0102030405060708091011121314
caid = 0963
group = 1

If it doesn't work post your config.
 
That seems to have done the trick. 20 minutes so far and no glitches. Previously, I was getting them on the minute, every minute.

Thanks, appreciated

These are the files I use (from the net):

Oscam.server

As above

Oscam.user

[account]
user = localuser
group = 4,7,8
monlevel = 0
au = 0

Oscam.conf

[[global]
logfile = stdout
fallbacktimeout = 3
bindwait = 5
nice = -1
maxlogsize = 200
waitforcards = 0
preferlocalcards = 1
lb_mode = 1
lb_save = 100
lb_savepath = /usr/local/stat
lb_auto_timeout_t = 26000

[anticasc]
enabled = 1

[cache]

[cccam]

enabled = 1
au = 1
request_mode = 1
 
If your box is slowing using mgcam you could/should try replacing your mg_cfg file as thats the usual culprit for that. I personally use oscam.

Yes, I thought it might be that. I'm not familiar with what the lines of code do, but the files I found on the net seem to be the same as what I had.

I'm using mgcamd (same file) in a couple of vu solo 2 boxes and it seems fine on there. Perhaps because it's a faster box anyway.

Oscam seems to be the best option. So glad it's working now.

Perhaps as info for others, is there a preferred mfg_cfg file for the zgemma box that you could reference?
 
mg_cfg, will work with N Lines and C Lines and has logging disabled

Code:

And to use a C Line in OScam

Code: 
[reader]
label                         = Reader-CCcam
protocol                      = cccam
device                        = serverIP.com,port
user                          = username
password                      = password
inactivitytimeout             = 30
caid                          = 0960,0963
group                         = 1
cccversion                    = 2.0.11
audisabled                    = 1
 
Total newbie to Oscam - can anyone help me to get setup? I'm using dsayers openatv image on zgemma h2h box.
Basically how will I install Oscam and the Oscam server - what is that? Is it local like on your home PC or box or is it the line providers end? How do you enter the line info?
 
The ViX4E2 has an OScam available with a much simplified Web Interface. May be worth you looking at if you have a box that has that image available.
