Another openssl patched box if you ask me. Just keep on using old shit and keep patching. Some day you will run into something that doesnt run stable and cant be patched either.

[jakey]

So just adding libcrypto.so.0.9.8 to /lib makes it a patched box ?

 

Why the attitude in this thread ?

[Erik Slagter]

Because we are a bit tired of users who want to watch for free (otherwise you'd be using CCcam) and require us to be supporting that. For watching legally you don't need mgcam and mgcam doesn't fit into a new, updated build environment, like OpenPLi 4, so it's dropped. That's all. No need to keep dragging legacy until the end of times.

[jakey]

Wow, what an assumption and how hypocritical, as you well know CCcam is capable of exactly the same functions as mgcamd if that's what one wanted to use it for, as the majority of pay servers use CCcam why do you single out mgcamd users as using it for illegal purposes ? but glad to know that you 'assume' supported CCcam users would never do anything illegal.

 

FYI I have always used mgcamd along with newcs, far more reliable than CCcam imho, ok I understand your legacy argument but how you make this assumption that anyone using mgcamd must be doing illegal stuff is beyond me, better not to assume peoples intentions and accuse them of doing something illegal unless you know for sure.

 

Sorry to see you adopt the same 'like or lump it attitude'  as DMM.

[Erik Slagter]

Interpret my explanation like you wish.

 

Fact is that CCcam does incorporate in up-to-date build environments succesfully and fact is that CCcam will happily read almost any subscriber card.

 

These are the only two considerations. Softcams that stopped working have been dropped before.

 

If that makes us DMM-like, that's your call.

[jakey]

OK then we'll leave it at that, I have no wish to get into prolonged discussion as obviously it's a Pli team decision and at the end of the day we will have to accept that.

 

Can you explain to me then why mg works for me with Pli 4 as queried over a week ago here http://openpli.org/f...ndpost&p=374487

 

I assure you I don't have a patched image of any sort as a poster above 'assumed' and I'm certainly not smart enough to do any patching myself. I just used a nightly build to which I added libcrypto.so.0.9.8 or does this constitute 'patched' ?

[Erik Slagter]

What softcam you install or what (deprecated/unsafe) libraries you need to install to make that work, is really no concern of us, please do as you like.

 

I am sure several mgcamd fans already found a workaround and you will find it if you look around a bit.

exactly. so you are smart enough to do any patching after all.

 

So the whole reasoning is that openpli does not want to use legacy (sort of deprecated) libraries. Enough softcams are available for openpli4 to use the subscription cards. If you have special functions for which you need other softcams that is fine, but not supported from the base image. Workarounds exist as you already experience. So everybody should be happy.

[jakey]

Well, there ya go then, we finally get to the bottom of it, thanks for the responses, perhaps this will now stop all the questions about mg.

 

Why this info couldn't be said from the start so it's clear to everyone instead of getting all shitty about it.

 

So we've all been using unsafe software for years and no body says a word about it until now ?

The bugs weren't known then and there was no new version yet to fix the bugs. Libraries implementing security "stuff" are always very interesting for malicious hackers and they tend to find exploits about monthly, which are fixed asap and a new version is released. Imagine how bad things are with a library of several years old.

[jakey]

OK Erik, thanks for info.

 

One last question.

 

Please understand this is a learning exercise for me

 

I just discovered linking to libcrypto.so.1.0.0 also works instead of using the actual old library binary so does this still make things vulnerable ?

This may or may not work, it's not guaranteed, the api may have changed.

FFS Some people are just plain lazy try this one modded 1.35a version to run on Pli 4.0.

Asuuming I get positive feed back ie it works I will make a ipk file for those even more lazy

It works for now so I'll leave at that, thanks.

[jakey]

 I'm not capable of modding mg, I'm also not lazy though.

 

Thanks for the file though I'll give it a go.

 

EDIT: Yes it works.

So that's it then, there can surely be no more moaning from users or Pli team

 

Was it just a case of using a binary editor and changing the name ?

Well due to popular demand here is a version of mgcamd that will run on Pli 4.0 ONLY.

The binary in mgcamd has been modified to look for the correct library file.

Have fun this can also go on the Pli downloads for Pli 4.0 should those in power whish it

Certainly not like this. There is no way to see it is a patched version only for openpli-4 from the outside (and maybe not even from the inside (e.g. description?) i did not download an look inside))

 

openpli 3 and 4 3rd-party downloads are shared so if this is oenpli-4 only it should be clear somehow from the outside will it ever have a change to make it into the 3rd-party feed.

[Ferrett]

Having just upgraded to Pli-4 this morning I can report that this mgcamd ipk works a treat and I am certainly getting faster lock on after channel changes than I was previously using Pli 3. I think this is the best image out there. Many thanks for the image and also many thanks for this mgcamd mod.
