new to oscam please help

**nihonjin** · 19-04-11, 10:52 AM

I have spent the past 8 hours (sleepless night) trying to get oscam installed and working on my dm500c. Previously i was using cccam but have since upgraded my package to include movies which as we all know no longer works with cccam. I have an orange card.

I think i have installed oscam correct. I downloaded oscam-svn4981-light-Distribution.tar.gz and unzipped and renamed oscam-svn4981-powerpc-tuxbox to oscam and copied this to /var/bin.

I then chmod this file to 755.

I then created a empty file in /var/etc/plimgr/cardservers and called is oscam. I can see this as an option in my menu when selecting cardservers.

I then created a script in /var/etc/plimgr/scripts/ and called it oscam

I put the following in it:
--------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting oscam"
/var/bin/oscam -b -c /var/tuxbox/config
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping oscam"
killall oscam 2>/dev/null
;;
*)
$0 stop
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0
-----------------------------------------
I also chmod this to 755.

I placed the following config files in /var/tuxbox/config

oscam.conf, oscam.server, and oscam.user.

below are what is posted in each:

oscam.conf

I cant get the webif to work i think this is because my oscam is not even running. When i try to run using telnet i get the following:

-sh: /var/etc/plimgr/scripts/oscam: not found

I reboot my dreambox thinking the script will start it but still nothing works.

I have tried with and without cccam selected in the softcam menu. Pictures still work with cccam on but nothing when it is off. I figured this is becuase i have not changed anything in cccam.cfg so when on everything works but when off as oscam is not working nothing works.

any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the long post but i figured the more info i give the easier it is to provide help.

thanks.

You also need to enter your provider id into your ident line: ident = 096c:000000

**nihonjin** · 19-04-11, 01:00 PM

I have mannually tried to execute oscam via telnet by typing the following:

/var/bin/oscam

and also

/var/bin/oscam start

but i get bus error

any ideas?

**jgm** · 19-04-11, 01:04 PM

chmod 755 /var/etc/plimgr/scripts/oscam

What is the provider id? I have foxtel via cable.

thanks.

**SatGuRu** · 19-04-11, 01:05 PM

What ip do you type into your browser to access the webif?

According to your configs, try 127.0.0.1

Ah... in that case I'm not sure.

I think the cards are the same as satellite. Provider ID is on the card. You need to read it with FMCard or something.

Tried this to start?

/var/etc/plimgr/scripts/oscam start

Change in oscam.conf

logfile = /dev/tty

Will log to the telnet window

Start oscam with

/var/bin/oscam -b

& post the output

i cant get into webif. I think though this may be because oscam is not running. But i type 192.168.1.6:16002

**SatGuRu** · 19-04-11, 01:23 PM

OK that should work. Yes I remember how I got it to run now, as per jgm's post.

Except mine crashed very regularly.

**jgm** · 19-04-11, 01:24 PM

Sounds like you have a bad binary.

**nihonjin** · 19-04-11, 01:26 PM

Any suggestions as to which binary i should be running?

also when i goto softcam menu and click on cardinfo i get no cards inserted.

**jgm** · 19-04-11, 01:34 PM

I'm now running oscam in my vu+duo serving to the rest of the house. The version I'm using is 4153. The last working version I had in the DM was oscam-1.00-unstable_svn4072-ppc-tuxbox-linux-trunk-webif. Check to see what others are using.

**nihonjin** · 19-04-11, 01:47 PM

ok i just replaced it with another version i had and it now appears to be running but still no pictures. This is the output when i run

Do you have any other cams running? It looks like something else has got the port (/dev/sci0)

no none that i am aware of. I am only using the internal reader of the dm500 and no other softcam is running ie cccam is not selected in the softcam menu.
