update oscam?

[kevindj]

this may be a stupid ass question but i've looked and can't find the answer, so i thought i'd ask before i go messing with my pc again.
i have oscam running on a linux pc, how do you go about updating the revision? like mine is 4162 or something and now they are up too 5185? is it just a case of uploading something or do you have to go through download recompile and replace?

i don't even know why i need the newer revision its just bugging me, i cant stop messing with things

to update oscam
you need to download oscam

unzip it
you will find a load of files
if you are using oscam on a pc
you need this file

rename it to the same as the old oscam
then overwrite the old one
restart oscam
thats it

when you unzip oscam these are the files you will see

If updating OSCam, keep a backup of the old one in case the new version is buggy

What flavour of linux are you running? There are precompiled versions available or you can download the latest svn and compile it yourself.
