And what?

on Miraclebox Premium Twin+ with OpenPLI 6.0

First of all I'm not sure which softcam plugin is the best for use. On some other post some one write that oscam is the best right now.

I'm not exactly sure, but oscam can use it cccam protocol or newcamd protocol, whatever that means.

So which one I suppose to install? And later what I suppose to configure?

In my case something isn't right. Cccam / oscam is working fine until I like to recording and watching two others channels. I can't watching some of them when I recording some other one. Not everyone. When I'm recording and try to watch something else, it looks like my Miraclebox don't have access to some transponders on which those channels are.

Is that softcam configuration issue? Or maby something wrong with my twin LNB? Or something else?

Regards,
Simon

I cannot help you with the configuration as I have no knowledge about that.

 

I guess others can help, but you need to give us more informations. How many cables are attached to your box? How are the tuners configured? Which channels do you want to record and watch at the same time? Which card are you using? ...

OK, so like I said before I'm using Miraclebox Premium Twin+ with OpenPLI 6.0

I have 3 tuners: (i added an attachment)

3 cables: first one with DiSEqC and two satelites (13.0E and 28.2E) seckond one on this same way like first one ( that's two DVB-S2 tuners). Last one that's DVB-T2.

I'm just trying with 13.0E (watching + recording) for which I'm using softcam.

For example I'm trying recording TVP1 channel (i added an attachment with channel details) it looks like I don't have access to (SNR and AGC = 0) such a channels like TVP2, Superstacja, CANAL+1 HD (attachment) etc. when I'm recording. When I will stop recording signal is fine.

That's just example, if you like I can upload list of channels and I can check every single one of that will help.

I'm using default tuner A, when I'm start recording it's kind of busy, so Miraclebox are trying to use tuner B.

I don't have access for those few channels just when I'm using softcam. With 28.2E satelite, where I'm not using softcam I don't have this no signal issues.

The one issue which I found in general is when I'm start recording Tuner A it's getting kind of busy, so Miraclebox are start using Tuner B instead and everything is fine till recording it's gonna stop. In this same time when tuner A stop going be busy (I'm using tuner B for watching) tuner B are crashing (attachment). I just have to change channels, Miraclebox are start using tuner A again, because is not busy any more and everything comes back to normal.

I hope that description will help you to help me. If you have any more questions, let me know.

Thanks,

What version of CCcam do you use, 2.2.1 or 2.3.0? But even then a problem with the softcam would not result in a "tuning failed" message.

Of course you can use Oscam instead of CCcam with the cccam protocol. It's just a litte more effort to configure the necessary three files (oscam.conf, oscam.user, oscam.server).

pasterz, why do you think it is a softcam issue? Do you not experience the same with FTA channels?

[Pr2]

Try to swap cable between tuner A and tuner B to be sure that both cable are working.

 

Then disable tuner A and try to zap OpenPLi will then use your tuner B to check if tuner B is working.

How can "tune failed" ever be softcam issue?

I have CCcam221, CCcam, oscam and CCcam209 available on Softcam Setup settings. For cccam (all versions) I have changed just CCcam.cfg file from /etc/. For oscam I have changed just oscam.server file from /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam/

Correct, with FTA channels everything is OK. Like you see on picture tuner A is yellow, because is recording and B is green because I'm now watching from this tuner, and signal is 70% of strength.

When I'm using channels which required softcam signal of tuner B = 0% and I'm receiving error: "Tune failed!"

Correct, with FTA channels everything is OK.

 

On the same transponder as the one non-working?

I would rather suspect your diseqc switch.

[Satpal]

It should be rather easy to figure out if the satellite setup is working ok or not. Just watch to two FTA channels from different transponders on13e with Picture-in-Picture. If this is working ok, try to watch one FTA and one encrypted channel and after that two encrypted channels.

Thank you, I found the issue. One of DiSEqC (port 1) is faulty.
