is that box lose very often the emu. if i use the box 5 or 6 hours encrypted channel are no more claer. i always have to restart enigma or reboot and then emu work again. whats the problem?

this bug i have only in pli images. never before in other images like gemini/dream elite

[WanWizard]

I've been using several 7000's for years, and never experienced this problem. What box, what image version, what emu, which smartcard?

[berndel]

dm7000, pli 18.04.2011 open beta, cccam2.2.1, german, austria, switzerland smartcards (orig.)

in all beta versions before same bug...


which version do u use?

[littlesat]

Do you have some logs... or a better description what is happening? As nobody else have troubles (no reports) it may be suggested something else is going wrong with your configuration.

I see you have to reboot? Is the emu still running, does the emu crash? What emu are you using? Which plugins do you install? There are too many opens to support...

[WanWizard]

All my boxes always run the latest beta, and the latest cccam.

I've read about cccam crashing on certain smartcards, but as littlesat said, some debugging is needed to find out if this is the case here.

[berndel]

i will try it with cccam2.1.4 and then report here

[berndel]

this bug is also with 2.1.4 and all other versions. most stably of all beta versions this year emu runs with that of the 22.04.2011. the box is DM7000. i am certain me that this problems comes allone from the pli images..

The image has nothing to do with a softcam, it's a completely separate process.

[berndel]

The image has nothing to do with a softcam, it's a completely separate process.

then would explain why it runs sometimes better and sometimes worse, depending which pli image i installed.

and you cannot tell me that it does nothing know of this bug.

[WanWizard]

No, that tells you that the softcam is a plain and of the shelf binary, that only interacts with the operating system (kernel and drivers). And yes, the OS is part of the image, but not something we modify.

I doesn't have any dependency with Enigma. You can run a softcam on an x86 platform if you wish...

Softcams are not bug-free. And some bugs only surface when using certain smartcards in certain cicumstances. The developer of the softcam needs to fix those, we have nothing to do with that. My current internal cardserver is an old DM7000 that doesn't even run Enigma.

You also have to take into account that an E1 box is old, and with limited resources. If you load lots of EPG, picons, and lots of plugins, and/or you do things with your softcam that are considered illegal, you softcam could crash simply due to lack of memory.

I am a day-one CCcam user, on a variety of hardware, and with different smartcards, and I have never experienced crashes...

i use epg for just 1 day in advance. no picons. and just 6 plugins. and but this bug is also if the box is new flashed without any things re-installed...

Hi,
when I still had my 7000 there was no way that the system ran for at most 24h without chrashing when I had no swap activated. Do you have 64/128MB swap activated?

ciao

[WanWizard]

I've had 7000's in operation for years. One is still used, no swap, 2 local smartcards, a few plugins, and 5 days EPG via SQLite:

root@dm7000lr ~ # uptime
17:50:54 up 182 days, 16:04, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00

[berndel]

EPG via SQLite:

whats this? i use enigma epg.


and i have no swap file.

[berndel]

now i tested swap file 64 mb and sql epg 5 days: the same error...emu was dead after 1 hour...i have 18 satellites on this box. and you how many?

[berndel]

with pli version of the 16.05. i can assess an improvement in the moment. the emus are more stable.
but to be sure there is still the previous bug that cccam stops, if i go to the 1st time after new booting on a swiss channel (card via2.6 inside slot low). there cccam remains stand each time. if i new start then enigma and a 2nd time would go on a swiss channel, cccam continues. that is strange. but this bug is stop yet in addition to the actual previous the emus.

[berndel]

i can confirm that version 30.05. is more stable as 03.06.

the pli devs should know what the differences between these images are...

[dAF2000]

That would be quite strange. CCcam is no part of the image, so it can't be more stable or less stable, technically spoken.
There are no changes between 30.05 and 03.06. Both are revision 206 (see filename).

[berndel]

dm7000 - open pli 11.06.2011 ... big bug: box is no more booting

i go back to 10.06.2011

[berndel]

who can see the error? (dm7000/o.pli 10.06.2011) ( i rename "das erste" in "ard"...its not the error that i mean.. )








and independently of, why is there no screwed stone skin without snr? this manure is only for freaks and irritates in every channel switch!
