Hi
just wondering if i can be pointed in the right direction, regarding cam installing,
been having a search, but to no avail got mcamd 1.25 files (10 in all)
do they all go to var/keys or what? was wondering if any place i can read to as to where they go? (not on niablo downloads yet) (200s rec)
Regards Boris
 
Grab the attached mgcamd.rar file and unrar.

Copy the .tar.gz file to the /tmp folder on the box and install it via the Manual Addons function, go to Softcam menu, highlight common interface and scroll right or left to highlight mgcamd_1.25 and activate it (usually green button). Reboot the box via the shutdown menu (setup > shutdown > reboot).

Now ftp back to the box and copy the AutoRoll.key file and mg_cfg file to the /var/keys file and chmod 755. Also copy your SoftCam.key file to /var/keys and chmod 755.

Go to the softcam page and restart the EMU, then reboot the box again via the shutdown menu.

Should be ok to use now. :)
 
Niablo

Hi thanks for the reply devilfish, ive tried what you said ,however when i try to install it , it dosnt load it says warning this is not a niablo package, and dont install,
the thing about this box im using i dont think there are many compatable images
not where you can download via the coloured buttons,
unless anyone knows different, i put an abcom image on but couldnt change audios, so opted for the above, anyway was just a thought for mgcamd1.25

Regards Boris
 
What receiver have you got?

Have you tried a Gemini image? There's one here for the 500s if that's what you've got?

200s

Hi thanks again devilfish,
i wish i was running a dm500 it would make life a lot simpler ,its a dg 200s images dont load for dreamboxes which makes things stressfull at times, however ive put 4 different images on today and now reverting back to my niablo one.its all a good bit of fun though (watching blank screens)
its not a bad image ,everything can be obtained by the buttons,(not 1.25 at mo) ok with my germans and spanish ,but the site has been down recentley ,so who knows it may be available soon, thanks again
Regards Boris
 
mgcamd_1.24 should open pretty much everything that 1.25 does, I think.

If not, you have the actual mgcamd_1.25 file (in the post above), you might need to extract it from the rar.

Go to the location on the box where your existing mgcamd emu is stored, usually /var/bin or /var/bin/emu on the dreambox, not sure about the dg200.

Log in to the box via telnet and type

killall -9 mgcamd

This will stop the emu from running. (I'm assuming the filename in /var/bin is mgcamd and not mgcamd_1.24 etc etc, if it's different, adjust the command to suit.

Not ftp to /var/bin or wherever the emu file is and overwrite it with the file from mgcamd_1.25. Make sure you rename it to exactly what it was, then it telnet, type

/var/bin/mgcamd

(or whatever the file is called)

Hope you understand that lol.

200s

Hi thanks for the good response, ill try the one you sent zaf later on and let you know, and thnks for the link regarding the image ,this is the one im running ,i personally like this one ive tried all sorts on this box and this appears to suit me the other one was an highlander image, ive got 1.24 on it but for some reason the t*s channels open then freeze and after a short time open again , ive removed the bin , and tried ,then the au ,and still the same i assumed it was 1.24 that was the reason for 1.25?
Regards Boris

tried that zaf and that cam is now installed thanks again,,,,,,,,,,

(ive even tried renaming images for the dbox , because all images start with serial for the 200s but they dont work)
