how to setup mgcamd

[Nav2010]

hi guys need help setting up mgcamd on my dm800 clone running openpli image. iv been told so many diff things i.e need newcs installed aswell etc.. wats the truth?

iv installed mgcamd via plugin menu and seems that all files are in correct places, iv edited the newcamd.list file to the following
CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300
CWS_INCOMING_PORT = 21000
CWS = 192.168.1.1 20000 dummy dummy 10 02 13 04 15 06 17 08 01 10 11 12 13 14 lan server1
CWS_MULTIPLE = 192.168.1.2 20000:20005 dummy dummy 10 02 13 04 15 06 17 08 01 10 11 12 13 14 lan server2
CWS = *my line*

and the mg_cfg to the following
# EMM messages

can any1 help me iv been trying for days and its starting to drive me mad am not an expert when it comes to this by the way

thanks in advance

[the man]

change the 0 to a 2 then it will all work

[Nav2010]

thanks for ur reply, which 0 am i changing?

[hypersonic]

Also I think the deskkey should be 01 02 03... etc NOT 10 02 03...

[davvo]

change in mg_cfg

G: { 33 }

P: { 02 }

newcamd.list

CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300
CWS_INCOMING_PORT = 21000

CWS = ip-address port user pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 server1

c lines only work if you have cccam 2.1.1 or lower installed
they go in cccamd.list
after edit restart mgcamd

heres my mg_cfg file that works


M: { 01 }
C: { 01 }
A: { 02 }
U: { 01 } 0x12c0
T: { 00 }
G: { 33 }
N: { 07 } 5 30
K: { 05 }
Q: { 600 }
P: { 02 }
O: { 00 } username password
S: { 03 } 80
L: { 03 } 172.16.1.1 28007 /tmp/mgcamd.log
E: { 15 }
H: { 07 }
R: { 00 }
D: { 00 }
B: { 00 }
F: { 01 }

[jfish]

get rid of most of the crap in the newcamd.list file and keep it simple

CWS = 192.168.1.1 20000 dummy dummy 01 02 13 04 15 06 17 08 01 10 11 12 13 14 lan server1

ensure your newcs.xml file port and username/password match what you have in the newcamd.list

[Nav2010]

i have cccam 2.2.1 installed and mgcamd do i need newcs aswel?

[davvo]

newcs only needed to read the card

if you have no cards then no

EDITED - SORTED GUYS THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

[Damo1888]

I've tried everything above, but still unable to get mgcamd working.

I'm using OpenPLi-2.1-beta-dm800-20110814-sim201-ssl82.nfi

disable the autostart of mgcamd

then telnet onto your box and run mcgamd manually thru command line - this way you will see why it doesnt start up correctly with debug information

I normally use this method to debug why a softcam doesnt work properly and 100% of the time I can find out why.

[mellinis]

change in mg_cfg

G: { 33 }

P: { 02 }

newcamd.list

CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300
CWS_INCOMING_PORT = 21000

CWS = ip-address port user pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 server1

c lines only work if you have cccam 2.1.1 or lower installed
they go in cccamd.list
after edit restart mgcamd

heres my mg_cfg file that works

hello

very good explanation , just one thing i would like to ask...

ur mg_config is except of the username and password that i will have to put mine all the others should be like that??

what about the ip adress that you write ..which ip is that? and the port next to it?

also the 80 port is predifined ? and U line section as well ?


thank u in advance

[mellinis]

i forgot to mention , i use a dm500hd and domica 9 img

[blueflash234]

i know this is an old thread but how do you arrive at g = 33

C: { 01 }

where do you get g =33 from?
