In that case, you can still do exactly the same you did...

[ajeeb]

p.s. { people who share via WAN ... do not install unstable VERSIONS and not watch via SERVER ! ....

in my case I find it the best way ... to watch TV}

 

anyway if I copy back softcam.mgcamd & cardserver.oscam-experimental should solve this problem !???

No, it's like Littlesat says. Install mgcamd (or whatever cam) and install oscam, make mgcamd "active" and put the startup of oscam in the script where mgcamd is started. Type oscam --help to find out what options to use.

 

For more oscam-specific help, please go streamboard.

[ajeeb]

so why cardserver.XXXX exist ? or even at menu ! a year ago I make a script to do both in same script ! but I delete it since cardserver make it easy , my question where can I find ready script for that combine (mgcamd+oscam as cardserver) for now my 2cards are off ! don't wana use oscam as client cause it's laggy for video records  specially when play them later with XBMC or even vlc !!

Cardserver* scripts are for card servers, like newcs, that don't offer cam functionality, and which you need to run in combination with a softcam.

so in this case when should I call the daemon cardserver.oscam-experimental script for example ! and make sure both restarted when needed !

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
	ulimit -s 1024
	sleep 30 ; start-stop-daemon -S -b -x /usr/bin/mgcamd
	;;
stop)
	exec start-stop-daemon -K -R 2 -x /usr/bin/mgcamd
	;;
restart|reload)
	$0 stop
	sleep 1
	$0 start
	;;
version)
	echo "1.35a"
	;;
info)
	echo "mgcamd 1.35a"
	;;
*)
	echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart"
	exit 1
	;;
esac
exit 0

that...combined with softcam

 

#!/bin/sh

remove_tmp () {
rm -rf /tmp/.oscam /media/usb/oscam/*
}

case "$1" in
start)
	remove_tmp
	sleep 3
	exec start-stop-daemon -S -x /usr/bin/oscam-experimental -- -b -r 2
	exit
	;;
stop)
	exec start-stop-daemon -K -R 2 -x /usr/bin/oscam-experimental &
	sleep 2
	killall -9 oscam-experimental 2>/dev/null
	sleep 2
	remove_tmp
	sleep 2
	exit
	;;
restart|reload)
	$0 stop
	sleep 1
	$0 start
	;;
version)
	echo "1.20"
	;;
info)
	echo "oscam-experimental"
	;;
*)
	echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart"
	exit 1
	;;
esac
exit 0

OK at least I now I know the update is working as designed,

 

As the original poster  the thread can be closed 

 

I can quite easily write a script to get things working as I require. 

 

guess I should of read a change log before doing the update and breaking my system 

 

where is the change log published by the way ?

[jackson]

"Thanks " for update,  as I remember I did not ask you to delete my the oscam config???

Edited by jackson, 3 May 2013 - 17:00.

[ajeeb]

 actually with this method ! my local CARD is freezing and that's killing local HDD records   , that's silly !  while in cardserver method works stunning.

any idea how to get it FIT to the new update ? without reflash with old backup and stop updating , Pli3

[gusman]

Gentlemen,

 

Apart from the options mentioned above, there is another solution to this 'problem'.

 

Due to the fact the PLI-team did a very nice job on the structure in their image, it is - in my opinion - quite easy to re-establish the cardserver functionality. Goto the directory: /etc/init.d and find the script file named: softcam.oscam. Copy this file and name it to: cardserver.oscam. Now, the cardserver 'OsCam' is selectable/restartable (again) in the softcam-menu like before . Please do remember - for your settings - the oscam directory is no longer: /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-experimental but it has become: /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam.

 

I really hope the PLI-team keeps supporting the 'cardreader' option in the softcam menu because I have oscam as a cardserver in my ET9200 for my CD+ card and an additional DM500 in my spare room.

 

Kind regards,

 

Gusman

[linuxgeek]

thanks for this 

 

Ive often wondered how to make sbox the card server rather then the cam tried the same method and worked a treat 

[jackson]

@gusman, thanks it work

[littlesat]

Probable when sbox can be configered to behave like cardreader only by disabling its dvbapi stuff then whis can be also done.

[ajeeb]

well, I revert to an old backup ... until figure out what to do ! have not test @gusman method

[jackson]

I install OpenPLi-3.0-beta-dm500hd-20130216 there I found on plugins oscam, after installation I follow  instruction from gusman and it work like before .

[harps2299]

just download oscam softcam and then ftp to /etc/init.d/ rename the start script to cardserver.oscam from softcam.oscam this will then make oscam a cardserver only and will be able to start from cardserver menu real easy to do no need to make a hole new script     never seen this above as never read page 2 till i posted

[Satuser1972]

There is a problem after update with new drivers (20130819). "Serial read error" while initializing Irdeto card (Raduga provider/Russia/75E).

Reverting to the previous drivers solved the problem. Box - old good Vu+ Duo.

Edited by Satuser1972, 29 August 2013 - 22:22.

[Gjersvold]

That worked fine for me too. But if i restart my box, Vu+ Duo2, the oscam doesnt start, i have to go to softcam settings and restart the "cardserver" manually for it to start up. If i run the oscam server as "softcam" it starts up with the box when i reboot.

 

Tried it on my Vu+ Duo also and got the same problem.

 

Anyone got the solution for that?

Yes. Install newcs cardserver from feeds. Then select oscam as carsderver and it will autostart. I don't know where is the problem but it works.
