Hi,

 

If you want to use my script simply create a file and copy/paste the content above:

 

/etc/init.d/softcam.oscam

It should have attribute 755

 

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/softcam.oscam

 

The "extension" (in this case oscam) that you set after the name softcam is the name that is displayed in the OpenPli WebIf.

 

If you want to have this script the default one.

 

 

cd /etc/init.d/
rm softcam
ln -s softcam.oscam softcam

 

To start it manually:

 

 

/etc/init.d/softcam start

 

to stop

 

 

/etc/init.d/softcam stop

 

And to restart

 

 

/etc/init.d/softcam restart

 

Remark:

 

with my script OScam executable is in /usr/bin/oscam

and the configuration file are in /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam

 

But you can edit the variable to easily change this.

having different emu, it would be nice to have them all in a single folder with the corresponding configuration file, on the model of sifteam-softcam manager. With your plugin is (for me) easy to do.

Hi,

 

If you are happy with the new script approach please use the green up arrow (vote this post up) on it.

I guess that this can draw the attention of OpenPli dev to choose it has a standard script for all softcams packages in the repository.

 

Moreover I think that I add some nice options (version and values) that if they become standard can be used in the GUI to display this information.

 

# /etc/init.d/softcam version
oscam-1.20-unstable_svn-r8678
# /etc/init.d/softcam values
Command line started:
/usr/bin/oscam.patched -b  -r 2 -c /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-patched
#

 

version is using the command of the softcam_exe to display its version.

 

values print the parameter line passed to the softcam_exe

Hi,

 

It is on the bottom right, when you place the mouse cursor on it it says: Vote this post up.

You have it on all post, except the one that you do yourself. There is even a small counter close to it.

Hello all

 

I started using OpenPLI no long ago and at first I didn't noticed the problem you are talking about

Unfortunatelly, after some time i did! Softcam manager simply does not work in my case.

 

The creation of the symlink to the new softcam to start althought do work - so if you reboot the box, after enigma2 comes up, the selected cam is started.

Softcam management works for some time (maybe an hour?) after box reboot, but then starts to not work again. Does it make any sense to you?

 

Finally I gave a try at the proposed universal script but i did have the same behaviour here. I am using latest mgcamd, cccam and o_ymod with new scipts now and all I can say is that after a reboot everything works fine (so I think there can not be errors on the scripts themselves) but after an undefined period of time is totally useless to try and switch cam with the softcam manager. As maybe you have noticed, the GUI shows the cam selected but in reality it hasn't changed.

 

Thanks for reading through this

Use AutoCamSetup.

Switching from CCcam 2.3.0 to o_ymod* no problem.

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
	ulimit -s 1024
	exec start-stop-daemon -S -x /usr/bin/CCcam
	
	;;
stop)
         rm -rf /tmp/*.info 2>/dev/null
	exec start-stop-daemon -K -R 2 -x /usr/bin/CCcam
        
	;;
restart|reload)
	$0 stop
	sleep 2
	$0 start
	;;
version)
	echo "2.3.0"
	;;
info)
	echo "CCcam 2.3.0"
	;;
*)
	echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart"
	exit 1
	;;
esac
exit 0

I can confirm that with some cam's and or softcam configs the start and stop from out off pli's softcam manager does not work (ALWAYS) ok mostly well.

 

I used to have a softcam oscam setting on dm8000 with smartreader V1 and one pcsc (omnikey 3021 reader) Those both always worked better then the internal sci off dm8000.

 

(now I do not have card's anymore on my box self butt on a central pc)

 

In those days and only with the both readers, I had regularly failures upon starting stopping changing restarting softcam trough pli's softcam manager.

Using telnet and then  ~# sh /etc/init.d/softcam restart   (or stop and then start) did always worked fine.

But after I just once stopped the cam (and or restarted) trough the pli's software manager it went wrong.

The cam seemed to work but nothing worked at the same time. even with stopping trough telnet id did not stopped.

I then noticed that in despit the fact that I stopped the cam there where still aktif pids.

 

Those I could kill by using the command

~# killall -9 <name off softcam binary self>

 

Then It was ok and I could restart .

Trough telnet OK Trough softcam manager just same sometimes ok others not.

 

Yes that was pretty weird (increasing the stop times into the start script did not helped).

 

I then proceed checking the python plugin and start experimenting.

 

The whole stuff could be stabilized by : changing some lines into the python plugin of pli self.

 

How it is now :

	def restart(self, what):
		self.what = what
		if "s" in what:
			if "c" in what:
				msg = _("Please wait, restarting softcam and cardserver.")
			else:
				msg  = _("Please wait, restarting softcam.")
		elif "c" in what:
			msg = _("Please wait, restarting cardserver.")
		self.mbox = self.session.open(MessageBox, msg, MessageBox.TYPE_INFO)
		self.activityTimer = eTimer()
		self.activityTimer.timeout.get().append(self.doStop)
		self.activityTimer.start(100, False)

	def doStop(self):
		self.activityTimer.stop()
		if "c" in self.what:
			self.cardserver.command('stop')
		if "s" in self.what:
			self.softcam.command('stop')
		self.oldref = self.session.nav.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference()
		self.session.nav.stopService()
		# Delay a second to give 'em a chance to stop
		self.activityTimer = eTimer()
		self.activityTimer.timeout.get().append(self.doStart)
		self.activityTimer.start(1000, False)

With two small changes into the python file line 112 from 100 ms to 300 ms and line 125 from 1000 to 2000

All problems where solved

 

	def restart(self, what):
		self.what = what
		if "s" in what:
			if "c" in what:
				msg = _("Please wait, restarting softcam and cardserver.")
			else:
				msg  = _("Please wait, restarting softcam.")
		elif "c" in what:
			msg = _("Please wait, restarting cardserver.")
		self.mbox = self.session.open(MessageBox, msg, MessageBox.TYPE_INFO)
		self.activityTimer = eTimer()
		self.activityTimer.timeout.get().append(self.doStop)
		self.activityTimer.start(300, False)

	def doStop(self):
		self.activityTimer.stop()
		if "c" in self.what:
			self.cardserver.command('stop')
		if "s" in self.what:
			self.softcam.command('stop')
		self.oldref = self.session.nav.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference()
		self.session.nav.stopService()
		# Delay a second to give 'em a chance to stop
		self.activityTimer = eTimer()
		self.activityTimer.timeout.get().append(self.doStart)
		self.activityTimer.start(2000, False)

This already I passed long time ago to openpli but it was just ignored.

 

Then my softcam oscam those days started ok with a smartreader v1

When I used two readers if one off them was a pcsc I also just needed to add to the cam's startscript file a sleep off 2 seconds.

When those  changes where done al was ok.

 

startscrit how it is (only the start part)

 

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
	ulimit -s 1024
	exec start-stop-daemon -S -x /usr/bin/CCcam
	
	;;

And how it always was ok with two readers and using the (modified) python softcam manager off pli

 

#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
        sleep 2
	ulimit -s 1024
	exec start-stop-daemon -S -x /usr/bin/CCcam
	
	;;

I just created a Softcamsetup patch for pli.

 

git patch for git://git.code.sf.net/p/openpli/enigma2-plugins openpli-enigma2-plugins

 

Also set line 112 to 500 ms like Dima73 experimented ass well.

 

This should solve problems with pli's softcams manager.
