Yep. After testing different combinations, here's what I have found:
Smargo: avg 300ms runing 6mhz and card mhz 3.
Phoenix: avg 230ms runing 6mhz and card mhz 5.
USB reader with 8 MHz crystal: avg 160 ms runing 8 MHz and card MHz 5.
Tested blue cards, different versions of oscam and cards, however the variation in response time is very small.
I tried 10 MHz crystal but no go.

reboot once a day? Opps something is wrong as I do it once a week with Ubuntu 9.10 64bit and then only cause it is habit as they are very stable here. Same on the dev box which is 9.10 32bit running the daily svn updates - like the ever ready bunny.

What reader and client r u using?
I'm using csp and runing on 8 MHz.

Will test debian when I get a chance.

Here's what i suggest you do...
checkout SVN 3050
Then edit the
"reader-videoguard-common.c" file and add in
AFTER...
memset(cw2,0,8); //set to 0 so client will know it is not valid if not overwritten with valid cw
int ind;
BEFORE...Code:for(ind=15; ind<len+5-10; ind++) { // +5 for 5 ins bytes, -10 to prevent memcpy ind+3,8 from reading past buffer // we start searching at 15 because start at 13 goes wrong with 090F 090b and 096a
if(buff[ind]==0x25) {
//memcpy(cw2,buff+5+ind+2,8);
From memory in 3050 its line 190 in the editor.
FYI its the NDS fix to stop nds cards glitching, ("nexus" found the problem and the developers added this fix)
I have modified it for you and uploaded it here....
3050 is the most stable for people using multiple cards say 2x nds cards etc.
A mate told me ....
The problem with versions above is CCcam...
When using cccam it causes the reader to loose the card. Oscam will still say card OK in webif but its not really.
I use a slightly tweaked version of 3144 or 3152 personally and all ok for me. I have one Blue card and uptime is days on end.

Thanks. Will check it out.
I am using 2xblue cards.
One with newcs, the other oscam. Client boxes use mgcamd and to connect to csp which is configured to map movies, FBO to oscam and the rest of the channels to newcs which is reliable.
I had csp runing on the same oscam pc(ubuntu) but moving it to windows improved oscam reliability. Also I found that setting csp to connect to Oscam in asynchronous mode improved stability.

I dont understand why people use CSP?
mgcamd has an internal cache and oscam handles cache well.
Why bother putting another piece of software in the middle again?
It's good if you want to increase latency :P

You are right, oscam etc handle caches. First of all, csp if used with correct hw and if optimized properly does not add much latency, infact I get about 40ms extra. Csp has countless advantages if used properly, and these include the ability to easily build and integrate custom plugins, manage dream boxes remotely without the need of configuring nat on routers, customize channel mappings, hide the location of your cw server, advanced user management with SQL connector, run different providers on one port, advanced logging features, ability to send osd to mgcamd clients(it will even automatically send you an email or osd if a card is down or any other diagnostic message), has the ability to cluster and much more.
The only disadvantage is that it's memory hogging app, but it's ok as now you can run on 64 bit os with plenty of ram.
I think it is the ultimate sharing Management tool. If combined with a softcam, it will be deadly. I have been runing it for two years straight and it hasn't missed a beat. Only restart when upgrading. For the average sharing implementations, oscam or others are ok, But for commercial, or extreme hobbyists you have to think CSP.

and Debian. It has been posted in this thread that Ubuntu is not best choise to run oscam, that was from oscam developer. Also most of the trouble people submit in oscam forums is associated with Ubuntu I'm not saying that Ubuntu is bad, simply not the best for this application.
Cheers
Started a new thread save this one for oscam...
what would be wrong here,
Just trying to learn how to do this myself but keep hitting this brick.

I always get 260ms with a smargo in smartreader mode consistantly with all versions i've checked out of oscam from 1800-3300 without overclocking anything (other than oscam defaults).
300ms sounds like serial mode to me.
It crashes occasionally I just wrap it in a script to restart it..
Code:#!/bin/bash while true; do tail -n 50 /var/log/oscam/oscam.log | mail -s "Restarted oscam" root /usr/local/bin/oscam sleep 5s done
