Thread: Pixelation and Fast Zapping Question

I am mainly using PLI images (a couple are Gemini I think) and with the couple of boxes I have checked (PLI) there seems to be no setting turn Fast Zapping on or off...(it may be that these images simply do not have fast Zapping.. or it is off by default).

Is there any way to read or see... say on the Oscam server, if a client has fast zapping turned on ?

NO

"DISABLE EMM : no"
"EXTRA EMM LEVEL : no"

Can anyone advise any experience or knowledge here?

I think these may be for CCcam Server functions.

My understanding of those settings were that they were client related ..
I think this may be backed up because the F lines on the server has allowemm as a parameter

so the client uses those flags as to whether to send them and trhe server uses the F: line to determine whether to receive them and process them ..

Fast zapping was in pli Enigma 1 images .. should be ther on the 500 somewhere .. I dont recall seeing it anywhere in the enigma 2 images ..so prolly not on the 800

Cool Thanks

I also mucked around with mgcamd client and had a bit more success fiddling with this cam's parameters.

To help with this I have used Oscam server as a "test bed" to test a theory around cam settings to stop emms at the client side:

Firstly I ensure that the client is sending updates by checking the oscam server webif EOK field for that client and check that field increases over time. Typically a few emms will be recieved within a minute or so.

Then I go back to the client and change settings that should prevent the client cam sending emm's. If it is successful no further increases of the EOK field for that client will be seen in the oscam webif.... point proven


For some reason Cccam settings to prevent emms at the client side does not work.
No problems with Mgcamd settings.

It may be a CCcam version issue however for now I will be looking a using Mgcamd as a client for obvious reasons.

dont forget to try a test with CCcam using an N: line ...

For me at the moment anyway I will use Mgcamd to keep the clients that are not used for updating "lean" whilst still having the setup working at optimum for minimal or no pixelation

in oscam, under reader options, disable GLOBAL and UNKNOWN emms, and allow Unique and shared emms.

im guessing ur using redd?

"fast zapping' on the DM500 E1 images causes the audio to become out of sync with the video. It does not affect the decryption.
