Hi,

 

Does anyone know what is the best cam to use for version 6 image?? mgcamd is very glitchy and cccam seems to stop randomly??

 

I have tried from plugins menu, and ts panel but seem to be the same or am I missing something??

 

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply, which oscam from the softcam plugins list do I download??

Is there a tutorial how to install the files for oscam or could you tell me how please??

 

Many thanks

Let's start with some more info.
What box? What firmware? TS-Panel gives me the shivers...

Hi,

 

Thanks I have two different boxes. zgemma star H2 and xtrend et8500 and I have just installed version 6 open pli image on both, I don't really like ts panel also but I thought I would try it as I was having problems with mgcamd and cccam from the softcam plugins downloads.

 

Thanks

Both oscams work, the oscam-emu version contains (as the name implies) an emu, and is usually older since the emu code isn't published.

 

If you card works in Oscam depends on the card, so we need to know your provider, and the type of smartcard you have (if multiple are available).

This is not true, emu for OScam is published.

 

https://github.com/oscam-emu/oscam-emu

 

But it is provided has a patch for the OScam trunk so people need often to adapt it.

But you can get rid of this constraint by compiling OSemu instead.

 

https://github.com/oscam-emu/OSEmu

 

So you can provide an .ipk with most up-to-date OScam and OSemu with a pre-configuration to have OScam using OSemu. You just need to create a softcam startup script that will launch both. But OSemu has no GUI to change the softcam file.

So you can always provide the latest OScam with the latest OSemu without having to be annoyed by changing the .patch file.

The problem is that the patch is not frequently adapted to the quickly changing code of oscam. And the already-patched-version isn't updated as frequently as oscam itself. So if you don't want the "emu" version, just use the normal one.

How can the softcam manager be activated in Open Pli 6 ? With blue button I dont have the option to select any softcam.

[littlesat]

Try long blue instead...

[abra]

Nothing happens.... It must be something wrong. I installed the OpenPli 6 RC from today.

[WanWizard]

If you installed it from scratch, you need to install a softcam. Contrary to OpenPLi 4, as of 6.0 no cam will be installed by default anymore.

[abra]

Yes, I put the scripts in etc\init.d, as for Open Pli 4. But the softcam manager did not appear at all.

[cobus]

You don't have to put script you need to go to applications green button then install softcam and that's it.

[WanWizard]

You need the softcam manager, which is not installed by default as well. When you install a softcam from the feeds, it comes as a dependency.

 

If you only use your own softcam scripts, you need to install it manually:

opkg install softcam-support

[abra]

Thank you, now I have the softcam manager when pressing the blue button.

Most of the scripts that I had in Open Pli 4 work, only one where 2 softcams are started does not work.

How can I in Open Pli in telnet manually call a softcam script from /init.d to start or stop a softcam ?

[WanWizard]

Afaik nothing has been changed to the softcam system between 4 and 6. Are you sure all your scripts are marked executable?

 

From the command line you can just call /etc/init.d/<scriptname>. If you don't call it with an option, it should tell you want the options are.

[abra]

This construct in script file does not seem to work anymore (softcam1_exe, softcam1_param, softcam2_exe, softcam2_param are defined dependently on the combination of softcams that must be started, for instance cccam and osemu)

case "$1" in
start)
    start-stop-daemon -S -x $softcam1_exe -- $softcam1_param
    start-stop-daemon -S -x $softcam2_exe -- $softcam2_param
;;
stop)
    start-stop-daemon -K -R 2 -x $softcam1_exe
    start-stop-daemon -K -R 2 -x $softcam2_exe
    sleep 3

Only second softcam is started.

 

Is it possible to get the result of the start-stop-daemon call in the telnet console ?

If the softcams are started with "single" softcam scripts like this

exec start-stop-daemon -S -x ...

all works fine
