I have installed oscam on my DM500HD from the downloads in latest openpli image. I have then changed the binaries in usr/bin to change to version 6089. When I restart oscam though it still reports as the version I downloaded. How can I get this to update to the new version?

Remove the version you installed yourself and install the "oscam experimental" from the menu.

Thanks for reply but I want to use a specific version number of 6089. Am I right in saying that if I have changed the binaries and re-started oscam it is running the 6089 version but still reporting as 5817?

I thought it might just ba a case of changing a script somewhere but dont know where I'd find it.

What you want probably is not necessary, but if you insist, locate the oscam binary from the package, rename it to something else, move your oscam version there and rename it to the original package version.

ok thanks. I'll give it a go

You can try this,not my work.

If you want to test a newer version of OScam you just need to:

- Copy the new executable version (we will call it: The_New_Name_of_the_new_version) into the /usr/bin folder.

Go in telnet and type:

Code:

cd /usr/bin
killall oscam
rm oscam
ln -s The_New_Name_of_the_new_version oscam
chmod 755 oscam
sync
sync
reboot -f

Thank's to pr2

sync
sync
reboot -f

Don't do that, it will break the filesystem.

Simply type "init 6" instead for a clean reboot.

You can edit the softcam-script:
/etc/init.d/softcam.oscam-stable

Hi

Goto plugins and download oscam-unstable then you get 6089,
don't know why it is like this coz if u goto oscam downloadserver the stable version is 6089 but it is unstable in openpli download

That's trough, I already made the changes, put somehow they do not wan't to adapt it in openpli.

[Erik Slagter]

Adapt what? I don't know what you're talking about?

[christophecvr]

Adapt what? I don't know what you're talking about?

It's posted in third party developpement.

i changed :

1) The oscam-stable to tag 1.10 (which is the stable version) but with autorev Number, As sometimes an small issue which turns up is fixed, Stable will always run with latest stable version.
2) The oscam-unstable becomes an trunk version from which we now it's working but is ad the same time pretty much update. This with a fixed rev number which must be adapted to stay in touch with evolution.
It can be considered as a Beta test verison which work's, And presents a good fallback should a buggy experimental version appear.
3) Ocam experimental remains unchanged.

The patch is at (course somethings can be changed.)

That's not exactly the same as mark_hoply is talking about. He explicitly wants revision 6089 and I wonder why that is.

Now that's has nothing to do with mark_hoply - mark_hoply's problem is that he's just starting the wrong binary with his start script.

It was on reply on remark off nisse69, and he's wright . Hoewever his remark has nothing to do with mark_hoply's problem.

6089 was a couple a days ago the only working revision for vu+ boxes.

Since 6274 and higer this is fixed, so there is no need to for VU+ users to stick on 6089 anymore

[Erik Slagter]

Exactly what I am trying to say here...

[christophecvr]

Exactly what I am trying to say here...

We do not need 6089 fixed, But persons who wan'ts absolutely to use the oscam stable which is tag 1.10 (old actually) will find it under oscam stable . ps the current unstable in openpli which is autorev tag 1.10 is not equal to svn trunk 6089. each time there is a change (very very few) this can come by sometimes reverse applied paches from trunk (tag 1.20) to stable (tag 1.10) the number will be increased.

Then put in unstable a good intermittent trunk rev which does work on all boxes (vu as well) and at the same time is pretty much up to date like for now we could put 6274 or higher as theparasol saids it's ok again for vu.

Just keep experimental for freaks (like me) who keeps up whit daily and sometimes x... updates a day of oscam.
