Hi Guys
I am about to embark on converting from cccam to oscam but it looks very complicated.
I have downloaded oscam from the plugin section of the vix image (3.2) build 032
it is installed into the softcam manager and I can see it there!!
that is as far as I have got, when I try to start it;"No config files found, please set up Oscam first in etc/tuxbox/config"?
Can somebody please let me know what I need to be looking at doing next?
I do not want spoon feeding, but I have no idea as to what to do next, any pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.
Using A VU+ solo2 original stb if it makes any difference, many thanks.
 
At a minimum you will need 3 files

oscam.conf
oscam.server
oscam.user

You can create these yourself using Notepad++ making sure its in UNIX mode,

inside the oscam.conf file are basic settings regarding what protocols you will be needing i.e. CCcam or newcamd etc,logfile setting and webif settings

inside the oscam.server file is where your CCcam clines go,but in oscam format

[reader]

label = reader-9 #whatever name you want here
enable = 0 #0=off 1=on
protocol = cccam
device = #dns address,port number
key =
user = #username from cline
password = #password from cline
group =
lb_weight = 100
cccversion = 2.0.11
cccmaxhops = 5
cccmindown = 0
ccckeepalive = 1

inside oscam.user is where your CCcam flines go,but again in oscam format

[account]

user = easymo3 #username from fline
pwd = dwz #password from fline
keepalive = 1
group =
cccmaxhops = 5
cccreshare = 0


They are just some basic samples which might get you started,you can also check on the oscam website for more info
 
Thanks wiz.
So in etc/texbox/config I need to put 3 files?
oscam.conf
oscam.server
oscam.user

would that be right?
would I put my cline details into .conf?
sorry for the questions but it is all new!!
many thanks

Your cline needs to be entered into the server file but also need to be converted to the format Oscam uses.

There is a CCcam to oscam convertor in the downloads you can use to generate the 3 files you need.
 
Thanks for the replies guys.
I have had a look at wiz's info, clear as mud ATM but I will persevere!
Will look into downloading the generator as Ferret said.
Thanks again.
 
same problems once you have installed oscam on box all files should be there then use CCcam to oscam converter put you line in converter box click on convert a list should appear with your details on it safe as oscam conf to desktop then use ftp program to send it to its destination on mine it a wetexplay it goes to usr/keys/oscam take on the oscam conf file thats already there should be blank and ftp the file you saved on desktop to that location where you took out the blank file if not 100%right my apologies

take on the oscam conf file thats already there

I have a had a go this evening but still not cracked it.
What I have done so far,
I have created 3 files in notepad++ named;
1 oscam.conf there is nothing in this file?
2 oscam.server copies and pasted from cccam to oscam converter
3 oscam.user copied and pasted as wiz's instructions above with my user and pass details.
now not sure here but on all 3 files I have done what I think wiz569 said to do and use unix mode? so I did "edit,eol conversion,unix/osx format"
Is that correct or not?
I have put the files into etc/tuxbox/config
when I stop cccam and start oscam it does start but it does not clear any pictures
Does that look right to you guys?
If not why not?
thanks for all the help and support on this, I will get there in the end.
 
Sample oscam.conf file

Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

If are using the same box to view tv on then you need the above [dvbapi] entry in there plus you also need to put a matching [account] in oscam.user like this

Code:
You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

Also bear in mind its been awhile so i may get stuff wrong lol
 
Hey,

On my box the location was etc/tuxbox/config/oscam
Also in the server file don't forget...like i did, to change the enable to 1 so it is enabled!
 
what image ? are you using card or other methods?

That is the normal location for almost all images. OpenATV uses the /usr/keys
 
what image ? are you using card or other methods?
I am using vix image build 027 version 3.2
I have a **y card as well as a nline, I am hoping to get to understand oscam so I can use both.
Unfortunately that seems a long way off ATM, I have got it clearing with Nline as yet.
 
so clearing with n line but not card? is that right

Example of an Nline in oscam.server

[reader]
label = nline_test
enable = 1
protocol = newcamd
device = dns.address,23000
key = 0102030405060708091011121314 #important to use this
user =
password =
group =
lb_weight = 100

And you will then need (I think lol) to add this to oscam.conf

[newcamd]
port = 10000@0963:000000 #use a different caid if its not a UK line
key = 0102030405060708091011121314
 
so neither from card or line is working is that correct ?
you should start again use the proper configs for card then get line working one at a time

Great idea mate!
I have deleted the files I put in the stb so all clear now.
I am going to create new files, I want to do it as wiz569 advises and create my own, that way I will learn as I go along.
So I need 3 files?
oscam.user
oscam.server
oscam.conf
Are they case sensitive?
