    I have a MECOOL KIII Pro which is becoming very unreliable, but can't find anyone that knows much about them. I'm not sure if it's the fault of the firmware, or if there is a newer version available which I could try.


    If I can't find anything newer, I'm thinking of replacing it.


    Can anyone suggest a cheapish alternative?

    Hello everyone, ihave mecool kiii pro, i want to install enigma2 is there any simple way to installed? because i have no idea how to do that.


    Thanks

    It's difficult to find out if there is any interest in KIII Pro these days. I did have OpenPLI installed but it kept hanging and now I've gone back to Android.

    Is anyone using a MECOOL KIII Pro box?


    I just dug out mine after resting it for a few years.


    When it comes up it defaults to APPS rather than DTV, which is annoying. Can I change it?


    Anyone know of a forum with more MECOOL discussion?

    How do I find the current firmware version of my MECOOL KIII Pro and the latest available version.


    My unit is a few years old and I've only just started using it again, primarily as a DVB-T2 receiver at the moment.

    Chromium2 is not for all receiver,if with your receiver you don´t find it in the ATV Feed under Extensions,your receiver can´t support Chromium2.For example with the most HISI receiver chromium2 works.

    Does this mean that my receiver is incapable of using Chromium2, or is that it support doesn't currently exist but may be added in the future?


    ie is there a hardware restriction?

    You have to log into the file, because after the crashing of the Oscam process, it also logically kills the OscamWebif - Live Log.


    oscam.conf:

    Code
    [global]
    disablelog                    = 0
    logfile                       = /tmp/oscam.log
    maxlogsize                    = 500
    logduplicatelines             = 1

    Since I added these changes, Oscam seems much more stable, so I'll stay with the version I have for the time being.


    Many thanks for the suggestion, although I don't understand why it should have made a difference..

    I seem to get a lot of errors like this in my oscam.log

    Canyone tell me what is wrong and what I can do about?


    (sorry for bad formatting.... I managed to paste it as code instead of text by mistake)

    You have to log into the file, because after the crashing of the Oscam process, it also logically kills the OscamWebif - Live Log.


    oscam.conf:

    maxlogsize                    = 500
    logduplicatelines             = 1

    I have:-


    [global]

    I have no idea about any of this.

    The Oscam launcher option has suddenly gone missing from Open Webif.

    Not sure how this happened. Does anyone know how to get it back?

    OSCam is probably not installed or you have installed an incompatible version for your receiver.

    It seems that Oscam will run for several hours and then stop. I need re-install it and/or restart it several times a day.

    How do I log that it has stopped?

    If the Oscam process freezes, it is probably a bad / incompatible binary file or there is some bad compatibility with the system libraries in your Enigma2. Try another Oscam binary file. You can also download binary files here on this discussion forum. According to the type of your set top box, download the correct binary (mipsel, arm, sh4, aarch64, ...).


    As first, stop your Oscam process. Then rename the binary file, according to the current binary, in your device - in the "/usr/bin" folder. And upload it to the set-top box (overwrite it). Check if the binary attributes are set correctly to 755.

    I'm using Oscam under OpenATV v7.1 on a Technomate TM-NANO 2 Super which is a mipsel box.


    Not sure where to find the most appropriate version of Oscam.

    Run-level-3 symbolic link is probably broken. Check the "/etc/rc3.d" directory. There should be a sym-link to this "/etc/init.d/softcam.*" script file. That is, a symbolic-link, for example, like this:

    /etc/rc3.d/S90softcam.OSCam_11714-r798

    /etc/rc3.d/softcam has a symbolic link /etc/init.d/softcam which has a symbolic link to softcam.OSCam_11.714-r798


    So it looks like it is set up correctly, although oscam seems to stop working after some hours, but I know how to restart it now.


    But it would be nice to know what the problem is.

    Many thanks!!!


    I ran this, and everything seems to work again



    root@tmnano2super:/etc/init.d# ./softcam.OSCam_11714-r798 start



    Looks like oscam stopped for some reason and didn't restart after a reboot.


    OSCam Webinterface is once again visible as an option in OpenWebif.
