openATV MGcamd 1.35 / 1.38 issue.

Good afternoon all.

After having a torrid time trying to get the openVIX 5.0.011 image up and running on my (V1) DM800 HD SE I decided to try out the openATV 6 image.

I've got the image installed have set up Flashexpander on a 16GB USB memory stick.

At this moment in time I have CCcam 2.1.1 and MGcamd 1.35a installed. (Only CCcam 2.1.1 in use / active)

CCcam appears to be working without any issues whatsoever.

However I can't get MGcamd to work at all, I have the necessary in place to enable the receiver to clear subbed channels but despite several attempts it fails to do so.

I have tried both MGcamd 1.35 and 1.38 but neither will work.

For your information and after having read up on the openATV image, I have placed the CCcam.cfg, newcamd.list and mg_cfg files into usr / keys.

I've restarted the receiver and MGcamd serveral times but no joy, as soon as I switch to and start CCcam the channels clear no problem.

I'd be very gratefull if anyone could advise me on what may be causing this problem.

Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

Quote from master G

mgcamd can`t read a CCcam.cfg because its for CCcam

add the c line to cccamd.list

newcamd.list is for n / cws lines

use the attached configs for mgcamd

be aware the server needs to be using cccam 2.0.11 and below to allow a c line to work in mgcamd

mgcamd and cccam are very old softcams, oscam is the way to go

oscam configs are attached. convert the c line to a reader and add to oscam.server. Camsconverter, cccam2oscam, mgcamd2oscam

Hi Master G and thanks for the reply.

From what I can gather It would seem that for reasons of stability the server prefers MGcamd to be used.

To provide you with a little more information there are only Three files contained in the usr / keys folder they are as follows;

The CCcam.cfg file which looks as is below.

(I've obviously removed some of the original line and replaced it with the X's)

N: vm.xxxxxxxx.com 12345 xxxxxx-4886 505096 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

The newcamd.list file which looks as is below;

CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300 CWS = vm.xxxxxxxx.com 12345 xxxxxx-4886 505096 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

(Again I've replaced some of the original line and replaced it with the X's)

The mg_cfg.example.mg file which contains as is below;

Apologies for the length of this post but I thought that by providing you with exactly what files are in usr / keys and exactly how they are set out, that would give you the best chance of being able to see if there are mistakes in their structure and therefore be able to advise accordingly.

Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

Why don't you use the files provided for you in post 2?

It says "For latest Enigma 2 receivers"

(I didn't think that my (V1) DM800 HD SE was one of the latest Enigma2 receivers ?).

Quote from abu baniaz

Why would admin upload a file for you if it was not relevant to your issue? Please try them.

I have now have the Three files kindly supplied by Master G in usr / keys.

(No other files in usr / keys)

As master G suggested, I have placed the C line in the cccamd.list file and the cws line in the newcamd.list file.

I now find that MGcamd 1.35a works and CCcam 2.1.1 does not.

For your information.

mg_cfg has not been altered / edited and is exactly as supplied by Master G.

The cccamd.list file is as set out as follows;

#############################LINUXSAT-SUPPORT.COM##############################c: vm.xxxxxxxx.com 41414 xxxxxx-4886 505096 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

The newcamd.list file is set out as follows;

#############################LINUXSAT-SUPPORT.COM#############################CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300

CWS = vm.xxxxxxxx.com 41414 xxxxxx-4886 505096 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

(I have obviously removed some text and replaced with the x's but the above Two files are set out as above)

Perhaps someone can tell me why I now have the exact opposite of what I had before and now have MGcamd 1.35a working and CCcam 2.1.1 not working.

Thank you and regards, The Soulman.

A c line doesn`t have 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 on the end, thats for an n line.

Should be like this:

C: vm.xxxxxxxx.com 41414 xxxxxx-4886 505096

Are you using the same user and password on the c line and cws line ? Or do they have different login credentials ?

Hi Master G and thank you for your reply.

Both lines are identical apart from at the beginning of the line.

CCcam line starts with C:

MGcamd line starts with cws =

For your information Master G, I am only attempting to run One softcam at once, not both at the same time.

Perhaps if I remove the 01 to 14 numbers from the C line in the CCcam.cfg File CCcam 2.1.1 might then work ?

Regards, The Soulman.

Quote from master G

Use one or the other, not both at the same time as they will conflict with each other.

Thanks Master G.

I'm not running both at the same time.

Do you think removing the 01 to 14 numbers in the CCcam.cfg file will enable CCcam 2.1.1 to work. (On i'ts own)

Regards, The Soulman

Apologies, I meant perhaps remove the 01 to 14 numbers in the ccamd.list file as you said they should not be there.

I'd just like to know why I now have MGcamd working and CCcam not working which is exactly the opposite of what I had when I made the first post / started the thread.

Regards, The Soulman.
