hi just a quick question i have a cccam server set up on a dreambox 500s, this is only sharing to one box at the moment so its fine, i am looking at sharing with a few friends, 10 to 15 maximum, will running the server on the dreambox still be ok or will i have to move the server onto a computer with linux thanks
cccam server on 500s or linux

Apparantly if your card is for a UK broadcaster then the maximimum client per card is 10, 15 will certainly give your clients problems.

'maximum 10' is not correct. For sure different set-ups will have different results and the dm500 has as much processing speed as a calculator, so its not ideal as a server, but certainly many shares have far beyond 10 clients per card. 'Ideal 10' may be better description than 'maximum 10' 
as pink helmets says, 10 is not really the maximum
just after a certain providor issued a new card, as a proof of concept sort of thing, i thought id see how far it could be pushed
using an enigma1 based receiver i set everything up, and along with a few friends and relatives, very quickly had 20 connections running, flawlessly
phoned a few more people, 30, all with no problems
yes, everyone was on a different encrypted channel from the same providor
a few more emails and 35 connections were active
eventually got to 40 active simultaneous connections, then the premium channels started to suffer minor glitching, but the 'lesser' channels were still fine
this was with 40 connections, all watching a different channel (about 25-30 were premium channels) from the same providor at the same time
as long as you configure things properly, you should be fine m8

Would you not need a higher upload speed for that amount of peers?

Thats very interesting Digidude ,it is nice to get a concise and detailed answer on this subject.
I've seen anywhere between 10-40 clients mentioned as max but never did I see anyone back up their figures until now.
I presume the card is overclocked to 6Mhz to get up to those numbers and the f line 0 0 0 { 0:0:1 } is the one used ?

this is the current setup that am using on the dreambox is the correct way of doing it

Thats very interesting, I stand corrected, but you say they were all watching different channels, so no problem, but how many could watch say Man United play on xxxsports1 on Saturday afternoon, this I think is the million dollar question.

Well if most people are watching the same channel the load on the card is less as the ecms can be cached,hence more people can watch.
Its when people are watching different channels that problems arise .
I see, thanks for that, I thought the more clients watching the same channel would cause more problems than clients watching all different channels.
I keep learning, many thanks again

Following the digidude post, is it safe to use so many clients because the card will be handling so many ecm's.( using 0 1 0 in f line)

I think digidude was giving an example, I dont think he is saying its his recommended amount for continuous supply. Its not dangerous, the point is if you are running efficiently you will get a higher amount possible, but keeping conservative will give more stability. There is not a correct number. 10 is fine, 15 is usually acceptable, going more will depend on so many factors. Its not set in stone, each set up will be different.
