Hi ,

I'm new and I would like information for How to install mgcamd to Coolstream HD1.

Thanks

Connect it to your router and download it from the coolstream server or if you have it already you can ftp it in.
Nice box that,how much was it and from where if you dont mind me asking.

I don't think that can be done freck, remember it is running the manufactures official firmware, they can't officially support softcams, let alone allow direct download of them. There is no emu management tool in the firmware (just like official dreambox firmware). and it is still early days yet for unofficial firmware.

Anyway, first off, using an ftp program, ftp in, and in var, create a folder called bin and one called keys.

so you now have

/var/bin
/var/keys

Now, ftp mgcamd.arm into /var/bin
chmod it to 755

now ftp mg_cfg into /var/keys plus whatever else you need in there.

To test, telnet to your box and do the following

cd /var/bin
./mgcamd.arm

Watch the telnet window, change channel and make sure it all works.

If ok, then to make the cam start up automatically, using ftp, go to
/etc/init.d

and transfer to your computer the rcS file.

open it with a linux compatable text editor (like notepad++) and right at the end of the file add...
/var/bin/mgcamd.arm &

Ftp rcS back into /etc/init.d overwriting the old one.

Switch box off, then back on, mgcamd should start automatically.

If you require an scce folder in /var then create one via telnet as a symlink to /var/keys.

I am not aware of any unofficial firmware for this box that supports cams directly yet, remember it is a very new box.

I'm not sure if there are any cam plugins yet, I may have a look at the weekend to see if the coolstream will support shell script plugins, if so I'll have a go at making one for running cams.

Make sure it is mgcamd v1.34c you use.

Have fun

Thanks for your reply.

I will test ftp way tonight but i prefer option in receiver like addons in dreambox because it's simple for me.

Freck, I bought coolstream in www.hisat.com it's a good web site.

If we have more informations for this receiver :

- Change frimware or image etc...

send me message.

Here is one plugin I found, looks promising as it supports 3 cams for coolstream.

Not my work and I haven't tested it yet but will tonight.

Sorry it's in the dbox2 download section, but closest section I could think of.

File is called camdreset-stop-start-05-09-2009.rar

...If you require an scce folder in /var then create one via telnet as a symlink to /var/keys ...

As it only took me about 3 months and around 20 various posts to get a grasp on this magical smoke and mirrors SymLink stuff, here's what you do:

Telnet into the box
If the prompt reads /var # all well and good. If not, type

cd /var (and press Enter) to get the /var # prompt

now type the bit in bold, followed with a press of Enter:

/var # ln -sf /keys /scce

and that's it! So why did summat soooo simple take me 3 months to grasp? Well, I was reading the ln bit as India for example, so was getting nowhere. Took a while for the penny to drop that it's a lower-case L that linux wants, not a capital I LOL!

Lol

Got to admit m8, I used to do the same error with linux, it is very case sensitive at times and lower case characters can be easy read wrong

Case-sensitive "at times" SS?? Linux is case-sensitive 100% ALL of the time, pmsl...
