Spiderbox CCcam client

[chronoman]

managed to get it going.
i think the cccam wasnt starting up on system reeboot for me which caused me probs.
i cant see anyone connected on cccam info page though but i know i am for 1 and dad is 2 ?

not sure mate, his actual username is youknowhoo and he died recently.

Heres a link the his guide.

http://www.cccamforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40170

ive attached my cleaned version of his install script including bin files and wrote this first bit of a guide to installing it, guides a bit fast and furious, i`m no linux god, but know my way around it, if you follow the guide to a t you should have a nice linux tri-cam server up and running in an hour or two.

also note : - the smargos are clocked at 6 mhz in the configs , its up to you , and this setting may not be right for all cards, by my mates white card runs fine on it, people run them @ 6.85 mhz as well. Another tip is to use a cheap usb hub, ecm times dropped from 0.1350 avg to 0.0800 avg doing this, which is equivelant to dropping from 135 ms to 80 ms..........

feel free to sticky it and credits to youknowhoo rip as its his work really ive just made it install the different cccams and knocked up the configs.

download and install ubuntu 9.10 desktop (karmic)

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)

on the machine you have chosen to use as a linux server make sure it has an internet connection.

Install it (if you have graphics issues on startup, reinstall using safemode option from very first
screen on boot from disk (modes > safe graphics mode)

set automatic partitioner, unless you can do it manually

example of a ten gig hdd
ext3 partition, mount point "/" formatted 8 gig
swap partition of 512meg or 1gig
ext3 partition, mount pount "/home" formatted 1 gig

fill out user information making a note of the login name
careful the username is case sensitive , tell it to login automatically.

Let everything install.

Once installed and on desktop, let ubuntu run the system updates from web for the system
let it download and install all of them

enable remote desktop and give it a password (system > preferences > remote desktop)

settings are as follows :-

sharing = tick both
security = tick bottom two (create a password)
notification = always display icon

you can now use tightvnc to remotely login to the machine, just pop
the ip address in and enter password and jobs done. This means you can run this headless, ie.
With a power lead and internet / network connection only..........

Set your ip address of machine to static



copy the folder "install pack 3xcccam" to the desktop of your ubuntu system

important, donot try to edit the files under windows, it corrupts them

find the file "ubuntuinstall.sh" and edit it, look for the line
owner=yourusername

and change to to you system username, it it was john it would be

owner=john

find the file

logcleanup.sh (inside the cccam_install_package folder)

and edit it, look for the line
owner=yourusername

and change to to you system username, it it was john it would be

owner=john

careful usernames are case sensitive!!!


Copy these files and folders to the /tmp/ directory of your system

cccam_install_package folder
ubuntuinstall.sh file

so it should be

/tmp/cccam_install_package/
/tmp/ubuntuinstall.sh

ok now open a terminal (application > accessories > terminal)
type in these commands (case sensitive and replace yourusername with your own)

sudo -s enter

now enter your usernames password

your username has now been made root

we now need to own the file "ubuntuinstall.sh"

type in this command from your terminal

chown yourusername /tmp/ubuntuinstall.sh enter

now we need to change the attributes of the file so enter this command

chmod 755 /tmp/ubuntuinstall.sh enter

we are now ready to install so enter this command.

/tmp/ubuntuinstall.sh enter

it will now install the files using the install script, you should see no errors, if so you havent entered the owner name correctly. The machine will need an internet connection as well as it will download and install various things from the net asking for confirmation periodically, just press y for yes and enter if need be, it will automatically restart the pc when its finished. You need only insert your smargo and card with correct box key and you should be ok after a final restart. When uncommenting out the smargo reader in the cccam config , i would always use usb0 first as this is what it will more than likely be assigned to, however you can use the command "dmesg" from terminal to see what usb value has been assigned to your smargo (look out for ftdi in the text and little further down it will state which usb address is assigned) , sorry cant be more clear on this at the mo, too tired.....................


#####################notes###########################

donot change the telnet or the webinfo listen port numbers as these are tied to the cccam node ids, you can change the login info and the server listen port to whatever you want.

In the cccam configs, all of the smargo readers are commented out, you can uncomment them and box key them as you wish.

Emm updates have been disabled also however this does not seem to matter for some reason it still allows updates to come through , its only when emms are disabled in f lines that they stop, so to update your server let 1 or 2 clients have emms enabled in f lines to update your card.

Defaults webinfo ports for different cccams.

Cccam1 = 15001 cccam 2.1.1
cccam1 = 16001 cccam 2.1.3
cccam1 = 17001 cccam 2.1.4


remember to keep the cccam configs as they are i.e.

Cccam_1
cccam_2
cccam_3


from 3:55 am to 3:59 am its shutdowns, backs up old configs and replaces any configs with updated ones every day.

Config locations are :-

/var/etc/ running cccam configs
/var/conf/ place your configs in here that you wish to have updated @ 3:55am














###############old readme############################
this is a auto installer on a ubuntu system
for 3 cccam's + newcs 1.67.

"install"
what to do? Take the necs_install_pack and the script
place them in /tmp
fill in the user name from you in this system owner=

do that in linux or clean the script after that in
dos2unix online
then chmod 755 the install script and run it from terminal
have fun

are correct for you.
The xml you can find it the /var/etc folder

have fun.

Regards youknowhoo

edit : As i cant edit original post ive edited the link in the above quote, i wrongly stated to use ubuntu 9.04 when in actual fact it should of been 9.10 which i have just tested and it installs flawlessly and starts cccam`s upon reboot every time.
