    Default Openbox S10 help.

    My issue is as follows. Dream 500s and 518s working fine via CCcam or MgCam. Moment I add a Openbox S10 I get regular pixellation and freeze of picture. What is going on?? All have individual user and pass. This one has got me stumped, I don't know what I have done wrong.

    I take it the 500s is your server?
    and the rest of the units are clients?

    How many clients do you have in total and are the clients internal (in your house) or external to your server?

    Are you using a CCcam or Newcamd(Mgcamd) connection? If using CCcam try using Mgcamd instead.

    Internally? Can you see it connected to your server? Can you ping the Openbox on your network?

    If they are external (to your location) are you utilising a DYNDNS server and are all the relevant ports forwarded correctly in your router? and as Leroy said, on the S10 use Mgcamd.

    How do you force it to use mgcamd. I only seem to get pics if I have cccam.cfg active and the newcamd.list file also in place. I can't activate the mgcam. There is no option to set to active like in the cccam setting. Thanks for the help guys.. I have also noticed in the cccam settings where it shows the yellow text. It is flicking to offline...login....online. I get pics when it is offline. If a mate also just bought one of these S10's from the same place, do they all have the same mac address. Could this be the issue, if so can the mac address be forced to change like on the occy's?

    DynDNS is being used, I don't operate the server side of things. I just know it has been faultless with the DM500 and DM518's and it only seems to be having issues since we both got one of these S10 units. That is why I am wondering if it is a MAC address issue.

    Also which ports would I have to forward, how do you port the same port for multiple IP addresses anyway. I thought you can just do UPNP in these cases and hope for the best.

    If you are not handling the server issues then the port forwarding isn't a problem for you.
    So, what we are saying is someone else is running a DM500 server and you with your S10 want to connect to his server??.
    Im sorry I'm not at home at the moment so I can't access my S10 to give you an exact run through but I will be home later this evening and if the prob isn't resolved by then I will PM you and try and help.
    cheers.

    What I would love to know is why when I input the newcamd.list file into the MGCam section does it show up saying Newcamd on the OSD when changing channels. Is there a way to make it show MgCam or is it actually using a Newcamd Service. These may be obvious to others, sorry if these questions sound stupid.

    mgcamd uses the newcamd protocol.

    So Mgcamd is built into the Openbox image? And when we send our newcamd.list to the box it just uses that protocol. Makes sense thanks Leroy. I have fixed the issue I had with the S10 - as it turned out the PC running the server was running like a dog. A restart fixed it. I think the Dream didn't require as much out of the server as the openbox did. It could handle the data transmission even when the pc was being a dog. Thanks all for the tips and help, much appreciated!!

    Also can someone suggest a really good USB to Com port adapter so I can use a better laptop to drive the server. This laptop just ain't cutting it obviously, it just gets too bogged down with nothing but data traffic. Pretty lame old laptop, it does have a built in com port though hence why it has been used. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
