  • I'm only just starting with OScam, so have some basic questions. I'm using OScam r11420.


    oscam.conf


    oscam.server


    oscam.user

    Code
    [account]
    user                          = dvbuser
    description                   = dvbapi
    keepalive                     = 1
    group                         = 1,2


    With the reader1, I get the following log lines for the channels which do not clear.

    With reader2 I get the following log lines for all the channels.

    I'm trying to figure out the reasons behind the channels which are not clearing on both the servers. What is the difference between "rejected" and "not found"?


    Thanks in advance!

    What is the difference between "rejected" and "not found"?

    rejected - server is blocking/rejecting the requested channel.

    not found - server doesn`t have the requested channel.


    The ecm time (2212 ms) is very high and unstable, which could cause freezing/glitching on channels.


    In oscam.server the second reader is disabled (enable = 0). Change that to enable = 1

    Remove the following values from each reader:

    Code
    inactivitytimeout = 30
    caid = hhhh
    disablecrccws = 1
    cccversion = 2.0.11
    ccckeepalive = 1
    • What might be the reason behind the server rejecting a channel? Is it because it does not find/have it?
    • I'm trying to bring down the ECM time but that is not easy. The connection to the server needs to be tunneled through a VPN because the server has geo-blocked my location.
    • The logs I have posted are after enabling each reader one by one. I want to be able to use only reader2 if possible.
    • If I remove the following line then the reader1 finds the ECM but the screen remains black! Why might this be?
    Code
    disablecrccws = 1
    • I have kept the following line because the broadcaster is simlucrypting the channels with 4 CAIDs. It seems to speed up the decryption if I tell OScam which CAID is available on the server (hhhh in this case). Removing this line did not have any effect. What is the significance of keeping/removing it?
    Code
    caid = hhhh
    • The CCcam version used by the server (according to testious) is 2.0.11-2892. This is the reason why I have kept the following line. Removing this line did not have any effect. What is the significance of keeping/removing it?
    Code
    cccversion = 2.0.11
    • Removing these lines did not have any effect. What is the significance of keeping/removing the following lines?
    Code
    ccckeepalive = 1
    inactivitytimeout = 30

    Thanks in advance!

    Its likely the server doesn`t have these channels and is blocking/filtering requests with oscam.services.

    Less ECM requests = Less load on the card/server.

    What is the significance of keeping/removing it

    A general rule is to start with a basic oscam configuration, then add different values if you think it requires them.

    The values i`ve suggested removal off do cause channel freezing/glitching issues for some members. If they don`t have any effect on how oscam is working then leave them be.


    Take a look at the oscam wiki for more info about these values.

  • Hello. How can we know the load on the card? Is there a way to measure and stay on a safe zone?


    What is ths maximum number of clients per card that can be used?
