I think there is something wrong with oscam-emu startup script because I have experienced the same problem on ET9000 and HD51.

The oscam process simply disappears and does not re-appear using any simple method like:

- LONG BLUE - softcam restart,

- GUI restart,

- Box restart.

None of it helps. The only thing that helps is issuing the following command via telnet:

root@hd51:~# /usr/bin/oscam-emu --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam-emu.pid --restart 2 --utf8
WARNING: Web interface UTF-8 mode enabled. Carefully read documentation as bugs may arise.
root@hd51:~#

This brings oscam-emu process back.

 

My softcam.oscam-emu file looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
        ulimit -s 1024
        /usr/bin/oscam-emu --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam-emu.pid --restart 2 --utf8
        ;;
stop)
        kill `cat /tmp/oscam-emu.pid` 2> /dev/null
        ;;
restart|reload)
        $0 stop
        sleep 1
        $0 start
        ;;
version)
        echo "svn11391"
        ;;
info)
        echo "oscam-emu svn11391"
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
exit 0

What could be wrong?

Hi,
 
Can you try to rename your folder:
 
/etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu
 
to
 
/etc/tuxbox/config/oscamemu
 
So suppress the - on it, there is perhaps a bug in the oscam command line parser that consider the - as a command.

@Robinson

Yes. I am too.

The softcam.oscam-emu start script (same as yours - which has worked without issue for a long time) is no longer reliable.

It often does not work on a cold reboot and sometimes simply restarting the softcam from the blue softcam menu does not work either.

Repeating the process occasionally works but more often than not I have have to revert to telnet to start the softcam.

I'm using PLi 6.1 on both Ultimo4k and Duo2.

I have.  There is no "-" in the folder name but an underscore "_" in the oscam binary name.  I'll remove it and report back.

ulimit -s 1024
/usr/bin/oscam_11398arm --config-dir /var/tuxbox/config --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam.pid --restart 2 --utf8

Thaks Pr2.

I will try it in the evening, although 007.4 does not have the "-" and still experiences the issue.
It seems I have had the same issue on an OpenPLi-based image (SatDreamGr) recently too.

Yes indeed and since it works from the command line it is not the problem.

I have the same problem on my Solo2. It's the same on Oscam, and Oscam-emu.

Sometimes it doesen't auto-start, sometimes I have to start it on softcam setup 4-5 times until it starts.

All in script is fine (both of them).

Maybe it's the CLOCKFUCK...
 
 -w, --wait <secs>       | Set how much seconds to wait at startup for the
                         . system clock to be set correctly. Default: 60
Use -w 0 and see if that works fine.

start)
        ulimit -s 1024
        /usr/bin/oscam-emu --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam-emu.pid --restart 2 --utf8 --wait 0

Use -w 0 and see if that works fine.
start)
        ulimit -s 1024
        /usr/bin/oscam-emu --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam-emu.pid --restart 2 --utf8 --wait 0
        ;;

 

After adding -w 0 the issue seems to have gone. :)

I guess this parameter should be added to the default softcam start script. What do you think?

I ran an online update today and after booting "oscam-emu" did not start automatically.

Also the "--wait 0" disappeared from softcam.oscam-emu file.

I don't see a commit in 6.1-release that introduces that parameter, so it is logical it disappeared (as the package itself did update).


Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

if you have problems with the automatic launch of OSCAM (after turning on the receiver), I solved my problem this way when the emulator is running a command in telnet ..... update-rc.d softcam defaults 50
  .... then I give the command to init 6 after all these actions for me when you turn on the receiver, my emulator turns on automatically

I'm afraid the "--wait 0" does not solve the issue.

For example today, I wanted to restart oscam-emu from its WebInterface and it just shut down, it was not restarted. Then I issued the following command from telnet:

/usr/bin/oscam-emu --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu --daemon --pidfile /tmp/oscam-emu.pid --restart 2 --utf8 --wait 0

and it still did not start.

Then I issued the command again and it was restarted.

After a few minutes I wanted to restart oscam-emu and the same thing happened but this time I had to issue the command 3 times before oscam-emu finally got restarted.

Hi, is your oscam built with clockfix? Try using builds without the clockfix feature. Do you use systemtime plugin to setup the time though ntp server?

 

I had similar issues with systemtime plugin and switching to oscam without the clockfix almost solved the issue. I would say 99% of the times I restart my box oscam starts ok.

Yes, I use systemtime.

Could you please help me find a recent oscam build with clockfix for oscam emu, both for ARM and MIPSEL?

Can you also verify the performance with systemtime disabled.???
