CS issue every 10 secs and CS Server Issue

**RB0135** · 11-01-09, 12:44 AM

Hi all.

I have an issue and I really need some help.. I have been reading so many posts I just cant find any answers.

What I am doing:
I have a dM500s with the Nabilosat image (although I have tried the PLI image as well with the same issue), running CCcam 2.0.9 and NewCS 1.62. I have a valid F**tel sub (blue card SD). I have setup my CCcam.cfg and newcs.cfg (probably incorrectly) and I am able to connect my Octagon to the DM500 and it works as one would expect except for every 10 seconds.

So, the problems are:
1) Every 10 seconds, there is pixilation, stutter and a pause for about .5 to 1 second.
2) The DM 500 CS Server has NO IMAGES for any NDS channels. The Free ones (Expo, etc) are displayed.

Both the DM500 and Octagon 918 work perfectly when in "Stand-a-lone" mode (IE: I disable the sharing and put the F**tel card in each one).

At one stage, I did get pictures on both (I have only got 1 server and 1 client at the moment) but cant remember how I did it.. Although, issue #1 still occured on both the Server and Client (at the same time)

I have a feeling I might have a config issue, but I just cant see (from reading 1000's of posts) what it could be.

I have included my files in hope someone might be able to help.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Robert

I would run newcs in a verbose mode. ie. Telnet to your dm500 login root password dreambox. Type ps -ax and see the active newcs task process number, then kill the task with the kill 1234 (where 1234 is the process number) start newcs by typing newcs from the prompt. Watch the client log in and make sure it stays logged in, its sounds like a login problem to me, ie loggin in a out so maybe the client on the octagon is an issue either that or a mac address conflict.. Are there any other dreams in your network ?

**Dave001** · 11-01-09, 01:36 AM

Sounds to me like you could be using the same login name on both clients.

**digidude** · 11-01-09, 02:22 AM

as dave 001 says, youre using the one ligin for both clients

add this to your newcs.xml file

<user>
<name>client</name>
<password>client</password>
<au>on</au>
</user>

then on the client box on your N line replace localhost with the IP of the dreambox server and replace dummy dummy with client client

so similar to this, where 192.168.1.64 is the IP ofthe server box

N: 192.168.1.64 34000 client client 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

then restart the card server on the server box, restart the cam on the client box, and all will work in harmony

Gado, dave001 and digidude.

You guys

I added the extra login, change the Octagon client, started both Server and Client and it is now smoooooth and perfect..

I think I read about having more than one client login, but nothing I read explained you couldnt use the one login for the server and clients, but makes sense now.

gado.. I was only using one DM500 and the Octagon.. Didnt want to complicate things until I got atleast one going correctly.

Thanks again to all. I have just learnt another step in the process.

Hi

Why don't you use CCCam by itself - it reads and serves!!!

Cheers

I read you had to use both (for some reason that escapes me now).. When I get a bit more time and start to add other clients, I might just use the CCCam by itself and see how it goes.

Thanks,
Rob

NewCS caches ecms...in other words - say you had 4 clients all watching fox8, it would only hit the card once for that ecm instead of four times. The less hits a card takes, the less pixelation.

Thats the bit I remember I read...

It's working excellently now, so I have decided to leave as is, add my other two clients and see how it goes..

to add more clients, just add similar to this to your newcs.xml file

<user>
<name>client2</name>
<password>client2</password>
<au>on</au>
</user>

and on the client boxes add

N: 192.168.1.64 34000 client2 client2 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

again, restart your cardserver for changes to take effect, and then your 2nd client box will work perfectly alongside the server and other client

Thanks.. It has been working perfect all day..

You just confirmed what I thought and was going to do with the other clients..

It all is starting to make sense..

make sure when you add clients they have different mac addresses.....

Thanks Hoe... Remembered that one

**jonc** · 12-01-09, 08:20 PM

if it was me (and I do this now) I would just use CCcam for the client and the server

Why complicate it with newcs?

For some the caching of Newcs means the difference between pixellation and not .. for me CCcam by itself is good - perhaps that because everyone in my house watches different channels .. so caching doesnt make a difference
