2 Dm 500 with Gemini 4.20

[japseye]

I use oscam/mgcam or oscam/mbox. Oscam is card reader and mgcam is client. I believe that there is a way to use oscam both as server and client by using the API feature inside the oscam.conf file but this is something that I am not familiar with. Im sure that someone will correct me if Im wrong. These settings are basic but should work ok. There is much scope for tweaking oscam afterwards if required.

After installing the oscam/mgcam there are 4 main files to configure.
oscam.conf
oscam.server
oscam.user
newcamd.list
-----------------------------------------------------
oscam.conf

httppwd = oscam

httprefresh = 5
httphideidleclients = 1
httpallowed = 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255
httpreadonly = 0

# protocols

[newcamd]
key = 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
port = 52010@0963:000000
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Pay attention to the [newcamd] section. The key and port must match the one used in the users box cws line in newcamd.list file. You must also add correct caid and ident to the port line. In this case it is for white sly card. You can use any port and 52010 is for example only.

Our card reader next. This is for lower or single internal slot.

oscam.reader
label = SCI1
enable = 1
protocol = internal
device = /dev/sci0
services =
caid = 0963
boxid = xxxxxxxx
detect = cd
group = 1
emmcache = 1,3,2m.server
---------------------------------------------------------------
Add boxkey if applicable and caid for your particular card.

Oscam.user
[account]
user = Mgcamd #for your reader box
pwd = Mgcamd
group = 1
au = 1 # Auto Update if required
caid = 0963

[account]
user = box2 #Your second box
pwd = box2
group = 1
caid = 0963


newcamd.list

Add this line to reader box

CWS = 127.0.0.1 52010 Mgcamd Mgcamd 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan local

Add this one to box2
CWS = IP_of_Box1 52010 box2 box2 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan local
The rest of the files configs on box2 can be left pretty much bog standard as its only acting as client. The important part is the cws line.

That should do it. I park my oscam and mgcamd configuration files in var.keys.

Here is a start script for Gemini to start up both cams. I use this on my 800 but should be ok for 500 as well. Chmod it 755

mgcamd_oscam_cam.sh


CAMD_ID=4396

And you may also have to use a port.list file in which case:
In var/keys the filename reflects on the port used. In our case:

52010.list

#SF= Forbidden. SA:= Enabled
#Sky 0962
R: { 1000 }
SF: { 0000 }

Once again this can be tweaked by individual channels later on if you wish.

The cws line is the same as using an N line in cccamd or a C line in mbox. All use the newcamd protocol.

thanks

cut+-paste from another site

This is a complete minimal-configuration of oscam running on a Dreambox.
Oscam is reading the card from internal reader
Oscam is also decrypting the channels using the built-in softcam "dvbapi".
Oscam even updates the card using these settings. (Supported cards "EMM: OK" here)
No other softcam necessary!

All you've got to do is CHANGE THE CAID(cardID) AND IDENT(Providers)
in the reader (in oscam.server) to match your card.
You can find an overview of cards and their providers here:
http://streamboard.gmc.to:8001/wiki/CardsList

This is a basic configuration which runs out of the box.


oscam.conf
global configuration
all listeners ("server processes") are here
could be newcamd- cccam- camd3x- web-server or
dvbapi, the "built-in softcam" of oscam
code:1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9:10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:20 :21:[global]Nice = -10WaitForCards = 1PreferLocalCards = 1saveinithistory = 1[monitor]port = 988monlevel = 4nocrypt = 127.0.0.1[webif]httpport = 10001httprefresh = 5httpallowed = 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255[dvbapi]enabled =1boxtype = dreamboxuser = localuserau = 1



oscam.server
reader configuration
where oscam finds it's cards
could be real card-readers, or remote servers on any protocol
code:1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9:10:[reader]label = myreadernameenable = 1protocol = internaldevice = /dev/sci0detect = cdcaid = 0123 <---put your caid hereident = 0123:123456,234567 <---put your caid:ident,ident,... heregroup = 1emmcache = 1,3,2


oscam.user
user configuration
users who are allowed to connect to this oscam
like our local dvbapi-user, or remote users for any protocol
code:1:2:3:4:[account]user = localusergroup = 1au = myreadername


MANY MANY MANY other functions can be added to this configuration to enhance or add features.

If you'd like to share your card, you have to add server-processes in oscam.conf,
like a newcamd-protocol-server or cccam-protocol-server or other protocol server.
Doing so, different remote cardservers or softcams like oscam, cccam, newcs,...
are allowed to connect using the corresponding protocols.
Then add accounts in oscam.user so that our oscam accepts connections
from these remotes.

If you want to connect to remote cardservers, you have to add readers in oscam.server,
like newcamd-protocol connections or cccam-protocol connections or other protocol connections.
Doing so, your oscam reads cards from remote cardservers or softcams like oscam, cccam, newcs,...
using the corresponding protocols.

For more information it's strongly recommended to read the documentation
which came with oscam or read the always up-to-date documentation here:
http://streamboard.gmc.to/svn/oscam/trun...bution/doc/txt/
And configuration examples here:
http://streamboard.gmc.to/svn/oscam/trun...on/doc/example/

many thanks for the usefull and informative post i have give it a go for some hours no no joy
here is my set up i have server with sly in a 800hdse top slot with pli image and cccam 2.1.4 i think works perfect except for this friggin pick tv , now i want it to work for me and the clients the questions i need clearing up are

?1 are my files residing in the correct place var/etc/tuxbox/config

?2 have i configured the file correct as in the picture adding only as you said in the post just change caid and indent ,indent i dont know if its correct with brackets or evenn if it is the indent .
?3 do i have to put the box key in any where .
do i have to do anything for the clients to clear the channels or is it once i clear them they can view many thansk for your time
