  • Softcam Feed for OpenATV (as of June 2019)


    This is not a softcam control panel, It just allows you to install softcams from the plugin server. The softcams on the secret/softcam feed do not work with softcam panel. If the softcam panel is that important to you, please do not install this feed and find softcams that use the old method.



    Installation of the secret/softcam feed


    Option A:

    (Part quote of Spacerat)

    The easiest method of getting a shell session to the box is the "Terminal" in OpenWebif, but feel free to use puTTy or whatever you already use.

    That one-liner makes sure you get the latest version of the feed for your actual image version and architecture.


    No need to download the IPK, copy it to the box and installing it through GUI or shell when using the one-liner but you are still free to use an IPK, if you insist on it.

    Use version 4.3r2 or later in that case.


    The new feed supports OpenATV from 5.3 and newer.


    wget -O - -q http://updates.mynonpublic.com/oea/feed | bash



    Option B:


    Transfer ipk to /tmp

    On receiver, press

    Menu > Setup > Software management > Install local extension > OK

    Select /tmp/ and press OK

    Click OK to Install extensions

    List of ipks will be shown.

    Select the one you want. Ensure it has a tick by pressing OK then press Green to install





    Option C:

    Transfer ipk to USB stick

    Ensure that no menus are showing on TV

    Insert USB stick, you will be prompted to install ipks

    List of ipks will be shown.

    Select the one you want. Ensure it has a tick by pressing OK then press Green to install




    Stage 2: install softcams


    Once you install the softcam feed, restart the receiver.

    To install softcams:

    Menu > Plugins > Green (download plugins) > scroll to softcams and press OK> Select the one you want and complete installation


    To avoid issues, restart receiver

    Stage 3: Edit/transfer your config files


    The softcams on the softcam feed use the following locations for config files


    mgcamd in /usr/keys (same as before as well as other images)

    CCcam in /etc (now same as other images)

    OsCam in /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-xxxx (now same as other images)

    Stage 4: Activate/control Softcams


    Red > Softcam setup

    or

    Menu > Setup > Decryption and Parental control > Softcam Setup

    Note: The above menu may not show until the receiver is restarted following installation of a softcam. This is because the menu checks for a softcam before it becomes visible.

  • All CAMs that can be built from source ...

    ... get built from source ... every night if necessary (if they got updated) and for every supported version of OpenATV and every supported architecture independently!

    And the original oe-a build environment gets used for this, so all CAMs built from source perfectly fit the image they get build for.

    If the image has OpenSSL 1.0.2m, oscam gets compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.2m and not 1.0.2q, 1.0.1, 1.0.0 or even 0.9.8 ... shit you will find in many IPKs from download sections on the net!

    Also, if the image uses gcc-7 to compile, oscam will get compiled using gcc-7 too and not gcc-6 or whatever ...


    Yes, that means oscam-emu alone would get configured, compiled and packaged fifty-four times (5 OpenATV versions mutiplied by 5 architectures since 5.3 plus one more in each of 6.2 and 6.3, multiplied by 2 for dual-stack on the one hand and ipv4only on the other hand) on any change inside its git.


    And "oscam-trunk" is simply called that way, because it was always widely referred to as oscam-trunk. oscam-trunk is simply the development trunk of the original oscam on streamboard.tv


    I omitted the "atv" inside the package names, because there has never been anything ATV specific (except the *.emu file) inside the ipk. It just mean it was for ATV and has ATV sample configs (More or less, read about different volunteers for different packages above).


    The oscam versions on the feed are

    • oscam-trunk - The genuine original oscam-trunk, built right from streamboard.tv sources
    • oscam-stable - The same as oscam-trunk, but not being updated for each and every change done to the source but only once the code has settled, that means hasn't been touched in a while, which is a good indicator for the last revision being o.k. for general use and not containing silly new bugs.


      The only addition is a patch to make it work on Venton/Sogno Uniboxes, because current oscam will not work on them (You will only get audio but no video or vice versa without the patch, not sure).

      Set "boxtype = sogno" if you happen to own a Venton/Sogno Unibox.

    • oscam-emu - oscam with emu, but not using a patch file but simply the git of the oscam-emu project containing the already patched oscam-emu source.


      Most of the times it will be latest trunk - but the oscam-emu team can also be behind one or two days - and it will always be latest emu.

    • oscam-smod - This is my own variant of oscam.


      It combines:

      - latest trunk (But I can also be behind a day or so, as I'm not watching the trunk code 24/7)

      - latest emu (But I can also be behind a day or so, as I'm not watching the trunk code 24/7)

      - The webif of oscam-modern by gorgone

      - Auto-detection of many cards (All Sky DE on Astra, Vodafone Cable and Unitymedia Cable that oscam can operate), Astra HD+, SRG/SRF (Swiss Television), ORF (Austrian Televion), TivuSat (Italy), Redlight (XXX), Ziggo NL (Dutch Cable), ...

      If you want a card added, just let me know, I'm open to additions.

      - The Venton/Sogno patch

      - A patch to detect and block CWs for German Sky Sat that have been broken by misconfigured oscams or legacy CAMs that do not support latest CW CRC changes for Sky Germany

    • NCam - See fairbird's own thread on this forum


    Select CCcams if not already selected.

    Restart cam

    Side note:

    No need to manually restart the CAM.

    As soon as you leave SoftCAM setup, it will automatically stop the old CAM and start the newly selected one as soon as you leave the dialog (Green button).
