Some trouble with running hypercam on a Dbox2 running Commando11 image.

Here is the procedure I am doing:

1) Flash the new Commando-11 image

2) Install /lib/libcrypto.so.0 and /lib/libxmltree.so.0

3) Copy over the hypercam files to the following folders (space is very low now...):
/var/bin/emu/hypercam
/var/bin/hypercam.cfg
/var/bin/hypercam.keys

4) Chmod /var/bin/emu/hypercam to 755

5) Start the hypercam (starts okay)

/emu # /var/bin/emu/hypercam

Starting hypercam V1.06
Settings reloaded
Logs are disabled

6) List running processes to confirm it started (so far so good)

/lib # ps | grep hypercam
3295 root 16176 S /var/bin/emu/hypercam
3296 root 16176 S /var/bin/emu/hypercam
3297 root 16176 S /var/bin/emu/hypercam
3298 root 16176 S /var/bin/emu/hypercam
3299 root 16176 S /var/bin/emu/hypercam
3300 root 16176 S /var/bin/emu/hypercam
3306 root 16176 S /var/bin/emu/hypercam
3314 root 16176 S /var/bin/emu/hypercam
3336 root 1928 S grep hypercam


7) Now leave it for a few minutes and change channel with the remote (hypercam processes just die)

/lib # ps | grep hypercam
3372 root 1928 S grep hypercam


i.e. you can start hypercam but it dies if you change channel! I turned on full logging (level 5) and the output is useless with one line:
[11:41:56:152] Opening log file...
Nothing else in the log.


Any thoughts?

I am not in Ireland but for interest I have been playing on and off for months with hypercam on a dbox2 and get exactlly the same results, just one line in the logs.

No help I know, but just confirming I get the same as you.

Little bit further now.

Installed an Enigma image (ss-enigma-v4_2x_jffs2). This was also missing two libs - /lib/libcrypto.so.0 and /lib/libxmltree.so.0

The image had two similar libs, libcrypto.so.0.9.7 and libtux-xmltree.so.0
I linked the filenames hypercam is looking for to these instead:
e.g.
ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 libcrypto.so.0
ln -s /lib/libtux-xmltree.so.0 libxmltree.so.0

Started hypercam, and again it started fine and this time stays running when browsing channels. However there is no picture. Log file is more comprehensive:

Going to give up on this for today unless someone has any ideas on it.
 
Lol m8 thats the same stage I got to,except I just ftp'ed the missing lib files over,
Also tried a PB Enigma image but thats squashfs image so couldn't add the lib files
Will try again later had enough for now.
 
This hypercam package is super-heavyweight! Either experiment by using a 'skinny' image as your testbed- ie: \/irgin+ 2.1 Lite. Or, fillet C11 by taking out shedloads of stuff not needed, like yWeb, ide-hdd etc.

I did this with C10d in preparation for Enigtrino2, and C10d Laid Bare as a standalone on my lounge box runs with 3.3MB Free Space. And that's with Tuxcom and TuxWett included! Plenty of room to start fiddling with Hypercam, m8!

Cheers- AL :)

ps- I wonder if you need to use external rom7 files in the config??

Tried that already AL,
doesn't seem to be a space issue if you are careful and dont throw everything at it in frustration lol,can get it to run but it just doesn't want to go educational.
Will have another bash later on and report back.
 
Here are the files generated in /tmp/:

Some more logs below. Notice the "Failed to open device" message there might be a clue.. Logging is set to level="5" type="0x1F7F" btw.

Where do you put the nagra rom files? In the /var/keys/nagra folder and rename them to nagraepr7_5F.bin?
 
Here are the files generated in /tmp/:

hypercam.schemes file (strange that is lists "??????" instead of "005F01"):
Sel. | Pri. | Sys. | Prov. | Name
=> | 5 | 1801 | ?????? | NAGRA
| 1 | 1802 | 00FFFF | NAGRA

I think it will only list 05F01 when its decoding m8,
still trying but getting no futher atm.
 
Am I correct in saying that roms ARE needed for me in a Nag1 area?

Thanks for the tip for logs

Any pointers Fathertime,cant get this going either :(
 
hi from another site he has run I've tried a few different images and this dual boot C10d-SS4.1_enigtrino_UkCvs_Rel_2x seems to be the closest

thanks to steo2k8

sorry,, yes n1 you need roms,, but for testing just put latest keys in SoftCam.Key walk before you can run...

thought that might sort your logs prob ;)
 
Just trying to get the libxmltree.so and don't have access to downloads here - I assume it's 5 posts?

anyone know of an offsite download?
 
ok so I made the symlink to libtuxbox-xmltree.so and got hypercam going but no sign of channels

just wondering if anyone's tried with the actual libxmltree rather than the tuxbox one?

cheers
