DM500S with Sports Active

[ferni]

Been reading and playing with this on and off now for a few days, but not getting anywhere.

I can see AUSA and SPA and SPM and SPH but no pics. Using CCcam 2.14 pointing to my oscam linux server.

Can anyone help me get the sports active channels working on my DM500s?

Also is there any guide data available for these channels?

Thanks in advance.

I answered your question in this thread recently.

Thanks mate, I did try that (mgcamd) but didn't work, when i press green button i get nothing. Is there some other package i need to install? I'm running latest openPLI.

Its pretty easy if you are using PLi JAde image. I use Jade 2 on a Dm600.

Install mgacmd and config using software downloads.

Edit newcamd.list file in /var/keys and enter the ip address of ur server (assuming you have one to connect to), port and user id, pwd as per the example shown in the file.

Then go to SPA channel ==> Hit the blue button on the remote ==> go to softcam setup. Change cam to mgcamd ==> save and restart cam.

To operate hit the green button on ur remote. This should bring up 5 vpids.

Select any one of them. You should have pics. Then hit the audio on ur remote and select the corresponding apid.

You should now have video and audio in synch.

This is all from memory so I may not have this 100% correct but i'm pretty sure its right.

Good luck.

Ferni. I'm not sure why it won't work for you. I'm not familiar with the latest OpenPli so i can't offer any solutions there. I can only suggest that you load Pli Jade2 and try again. I know the interactive channels work fine with Pli Jade2 using Mgcamd on both DM500 and DM600.

Thanks mate, PLI Jade2 seems to be oldish, I'll give Jade3 a go, if that doesn't work I'll try Jade2 and report back.

you have to wait till there is something on, maybe you checked when nothing was playing, best time to check is when footy or EPL soccer is on.

mgcamd works.

[ferni]

There is pretty much always something on. I can pickup the 4 feeds in my HTPC no problem, just works. Right now rugby is on, so simulcast of one of the Fox Sports channels.

I just tried PLI Jade 3 and PLI Jade2, neither give me a menu when i click green button (running mgcamd). I must be missing something else.

Here's what i do:
1. Update the image to (tried latest openpli, pli jade3, pli jade2) maxvar and normal.
2. Reset factory defaults
3. Set user custom sat optus 156E with LNB with 107000/107000/118000
4. manual sat scan 12358/27800/H/FEC 3/4/Inv/network search, picks up about 300 services.
5. Install mgcamd, edit newcamd.list to point to my oscam server
6. Pics work on other channels, but go to AUSA or SPA and i get blank screen, press green button, nothing.

Any more ideas?

Any more ideas?

scam and evocamd works try those.

Thanks will give those 2 a go. Does the green button interact with the cam that is in use somehow?

I have found the button normally depends on the image you run

heres another thing you could try
in hardware settings menu try changing between remotes, i think the default setting is black remote, try changing it to silver and vice versa.

[ferni]

No luck with scam and evocamd, has to be something to do with my image, or some other setup piece i'm missing.

What other images are worth trying besides (open)pli that won't brick my clone dm500s?

Nemesis will work

Are there any settings that you need to change at the server end if you want to use mgcamd as a client to a cccam server (no newcs)? I gave this a go on the weekend but got nowhere. Can't even get mgcamd 1.35a to show up in the softcam setup window, but I think this is because I manually installed it, as 1.31a when downloaded from the PLi repository shows up fine. Monitored it through telnet and it seemed to work ok, but stopped short once it couldn't find an irdeto (austar) key.

I didnt know mgcamd could client to a cccam server ?

to install 1.35a,
just install mgcamd 1.31 from blue panel,
then replace the mgcamd in var/bin with mgcamd_1.35a <---rename it to mgcamd


dowload the e2config aswell
copy the all the files in ./usr/keys and put it in /var/keys

put your c line in cccamd.list
eg
C: 192.168.X.X port User Password

and in your mg_cfg you have to change the network mode to CCcam
eg

# network mode, use summ for several clients
# 00 no network (default)
# 01 newcamd netclient
# 02 radegast netclient
# 04 camd3 netclient
# 08 gbox netclient
# 32 cccamd netclient, card list saved as /tmp/cccamd.info
# (ECM only, supported server version up to 2.1.1, later not work)
G: { 32 } <---change this to 32

Is it possible the SPA/AUSA channels my DB is scanning in are wrong?

I see SPA on 12437740H

[yeahbabi]

yep its wrong

[Smacca]

to install 1.35a,

All working now thanks to your help. I owe you a beer.

[ferni]

Ok got it working. Reinstalled OpenPLI, scanned for channels with a sat xml file i generated from one of the sat gen sites. Freq still wasn't right, so I manually scanned the 11762 transponder through transponder scan and that seems to have fixed it.

CCcam green button gave me 5 pids, but only one worked, other black screen

Installed mgcamd, and green button gives me 5 pids that all work. Will have a play trying to create seperate channels for them all now.

Thanks to everyone for help. Hopefully this thread helps someone else
