I've already posted this in German but am hoping to reach even more people by re-posting in English (I hope that complies with forum rules)

 

For some time, CCcam hasn't been starting automatically after a reboot of OpenPli.

I have to manually restart the softcam via the settings menu.

 

OpenPli is up-to-date and I have also tried deinstalling and reinstalling cccam(2.3).

 

The init.d folder shows the files softcam.CCcam and softcam.None (755) and in the rc3.d folder,  S50softcam links to softcam.CCcam.

 

Looks to me as if everything should be working or am I missing something? I'm still kind of a linux newbie, sorry.

Welcome to the OpenPLi supportboard. There's no need posting the same question twice, so I removed the posting in the German section. My suggestion would be to post some additional information like what box and what subscription you use. It could well be that you experience the same issue as many other users do. In that case, search for CCcam.prio in the Dutch section.

[Okobambe]

I'm using an Xtrend ET9200.

 

Thanks for your hint. I've been browsing the NL section and reading some of the prio information.

 

So it seems it might be some tv channel causing the crash. It does make sense, since I'm running an epg update at night switching through the channels in my favorites.

 

Now all I have to do is find the culprit and ingnore it in the prio file. 

 

It seems it isn't motors tv or mezzo which were mentioned in the dutch posts.

 

I'll do some more research. How can I find out when exactly cccam crashes while I manually switch through the channels?

 

Bedankt for your help so far. 

 

I'm just gonna pause the epg updates until I find the cause. That should help for now.

Hi,

I had a power cut this morning and it seems an error crept in and I can't properly manage my softcams.

It looks like oscam is running with no problems but oscam_ymod, oscam_emu or CCcam are never started properly. On the other hand, oscam is never killed, even if softcam.None is selected.

All the softcam binaries and softcam scripts are 755.

What could be wrong?

 

See my scripts:

Does anyone see any reason for such behaviour?

Thanks for your hints.

Just to add more information.

I have just done an online update and now whenever I press LONG BLUE for softcam manager I get GSOD (see below, please). 

Is a reflash the only way to go?

If a longer crash log is required to be able to help I will gladly provide it.

Hi,

 

 

I check the Robinson script and there are mistakes to stop softcam (/tmp/oscam.pid doesn't exist so this script will not properly work).

 

You should have a look at this post:

 

http://forums.openpl...exe#entry414900

 

You simply need to edit 2 values in it:   softcam1_exe and softcam1_param  and you can stop/start/restart any softcam that you want with the parameters that you need.

 

So easy and reliable and not error prone like the scripts that you currently use.

[blzr]

just for the info - I have no problem at all with stopping (nor starting for that matter) oscam using default script...

(oscam installed from feed of course)

I will have a look later today but it seems the script is for running two softcams at the same time, which I do not really want. I just want to be able to stop one softcam and start another from time to time.

Anyway, as I wrote above, after an online update I cannot really enter my SoftcamSetup because i have a GSOD. I doubt whether a change of stop/start script will remedy it:

The issue of GSOD was fixed: http://forums.openpl...m-setup-vuduo2/

Now back to the softcam stop/start scripts.

Pr2, will your script be good for me if I want to run just 1 softcam at a time?

[Robinson]

I have just used a script from the same thread you specified but from a little earlier. Is stops CCcam successfully but unfortunately it does not start my oscam_emu. No idea why.

#!/bin/sh
# Define parameters here
# start-exe = executable to launch
# softcam_param = full command line parameters to pass to executable
# softcam_version = For information only, version of the executable
softcam_exe="/usr/bin/oscam_emu"
softcam_param="-b -r 2 -c /usr/keys"
softcam_version="1.20"

remove_tmp ()
{
 [ -e /tmp/ecm.info ] && rm -rf /tmp/ecm.info
 [ -e /tmp/.oscam ] && rm -rf /tmp/.oscam
 [ -e /tmp/.console ] && rm -rf /tmp/.console

 }

 case "$1" in

The original CCcam script starts CCcam correctly:

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

But I need to start oscam_emu.

[WanWizard]

If you install Oscam the corresponding startup script is installed too.

[Robinson]

It seems my oscam script seems to work fine now. So does CCcam.

It is the oscam_emu script I cannot get to start the softcam and I believe oscam_emu is not available from the feed, is it?

[Pr2]

Hi,

 

The first script was to start one softcam later on people ask me to be able to start 2 softcams at the same times so I adapt it based on this request.

You can use the 2 softcam script version by simply emptying the softcam2 parameters. I used myself the 2 softcams version and it is working fine to start only 1 softcam.

 

My guess is that you better have to reflash a brand new image and get stuck with the softcam from feed. The Softcam Setup screen should not produce any GSOD.

Thanks.

In the meantime GSOD was repaired with another online update.

As regards softcam scripts, I understand it may not be possible to correctly kill a running softcam-1 (and start softcam-2) if softcam-1 has a non-standard name such as oscam_EMU_old?

[Pr2]

My script it running properly to stop / start /restart any softcam if you put the proper values in the proper parameters.

 

But since you have troubles with it, please don't use it and stick with the OpenPLi default script.

So please reinstall the softcam that you want from the OpenPLi feed and get stick with it.
