How To Install Omnikey Reader On Dreambox

[B16MCC]

moeliekpie, Try using an N line in the other box. Don't use C / F lines.
woodseaves, NO
satter, Not tested any. I don't see why a serial reader wouldn't work though.

Hi again,

I'm in the 'I've tried everything club' to get the omnikey working. Before MGCamd I had it working, then I switched to nwecs_1.62/MGCamd_1.30d - this works perfectly in the top slot of the DM7025. Should I use the same newcs.xml with the omnikey device included or to get the omnikey to work should it have its own newcs.xml. I want the omnikey to run the same as the top slot of the DM. Is this possible? I notice that the Newcs.xml is different with MGCamd, no boxkey etc. I know I have asked this before but if I follow this thread to the letter will it work. I have tried it with just the omnikey in the newcs.xml, I get to the point where it says ready to go, in the web interface I see the newcs and 1 MgC client but no entitlements. Does anyone spot any ommissions or additions?

Any help, as usual, gtatefully accepted

Regards

Sounds like you need to re-read the thread. B16MCC has already answered this in several occasions but here you go:
"These readers WILL NOT WORK with the NewCS that you install from your images addon panel. You must use the file named newcs.mips.pcsc",.
Furthermore, the newcs.xml file is where the port and device are defined,in this case it needs to point to the external device type PCSC and the first reader will be dev 0, then dev 1 and so on...

 

[woodseaves]

Thanks for that wildbit but i have done all that what has been published in the thread, if you notice in my post I say that I had it working before McGcam was introduced into the argument. I have spent hours and hours reading this thread and trying many combinations so as to avoid troubling anyone with a request for help. Ah well!

I've just noticed from your reply that I should be inserting 'dev 0', that's were I'm going wrong, I did what B16MCC told us and put 'node 0'. Stupid me

 

[woodseaves]

Assuming that I have done all that the thread teaches us my simple questions are as follows:

If I want to use the omnikey do I have to have a newcs with the omnikey as the only device? (I'm aware of newcs_1.67.pcsc)

When I run newcs_1.67.pcsc what should be selected via the blue button, can it be newcs_1.62/MgCamd_1.3?

that's enough for now

regards

woodseaves, this is how it should look
name>USB</name>
<type>pcsc</type>
<mhz>368</mhz>
<node>0</node>
the node would change from 0 to 1 on your second reader and so on...
The binary file "news.mips.pcsc" is part of the full newcs 1.67RC1 package and when running can only interface with pcsc devices. Usually I make a copy of the running newcs (/usr/bin), rename it. copy the pcsc file in the same dir and rename it to original name. restart newcs and emu

forgot the obvious:
STOP newcs before making changes
chmod 755 after copy of newcs.mips.pcsc

hi guys,

has anybody set up 2 omnikey readers on the one box?

i followed this guide and got my first omnikey set up and working with a white irish sly card. i then got a uk FTA card (for c4hd) and it works on my server dm800 no probs via the same omnikey reader.


adam

i have 6 omnikeys running now + 1 infinity usb smart
with viaccess, nds2 , nds3 all running fine
u sure u haven't got a port conflict?
also what hub are you using ?
i believe some hubs can be a problem
when ur watching c4hd on both boxes ur only using 1 of the cards thats why its not glitching only 2 control words from 1 card is being requested.

woodseaves you're getting a little confused it seems mate.
You need to use NewCS with pcsc support. This means you cannot use the ones installed from your addons panel.
Therefore it means you have to install it manually.
Then that means you have to start it manually via telnet as it will not appear in your cam list in your blue panel because it doesn't have an appropriate cam script installed because you haven't written one.

If you start the selected cam from your blue panel, for example, NewCS 1.62 / MGcamd 1.30 then thats exactly what you'll get. NewCS 1.62 is of no use to you what so ever because it will not read your card at all and more so it will not run your external reader.

Use NewCS1.67 with pcsc support and start it via telnet. Then start MGCamd alone from the blue panel.
As wildbit as mentioned the address of the reader in your newcs.xml is as follows

<node>0</node>

It is not
<node>node 0</node>
or
<node>dev 0</node>

i'll double check my port settings when i get home, dont think i have a conflict though. im using the apple airport extreme.

thanks Roaaul i understand why its glitching, so its more frustrating when i cant stop it!! busy weekend coming up i reckon trying to sort this!

thanks

Thanks B16MCC,

I understand what you are saying in your post and when I carry out your instructions viz ./newcs_1.67.pcsc -c /var/tuxbox/config/newcs.xml (as well as others)I do get the message 'ready to go'. However when I try to start MgCamd-1.30 it won't (start). I feel that there is something missing in my newcs.xml. Can you (or anyone running MgCamd) tell me how many lines you have in your newcs from Device to Device (I hope that's clear) I have 13 begining with <name,<type,<node,<mhz,<export,<enabled,<blocksa,<blockua,<blockga,<blockc0,<carddetect,<newcamd_port,<priority. I think that the responses ie the middle bits are accurate but if I can at least confirm that I have the right number to start with. I'll get there in the end, if what I am saying is frustrating you all please accept my apologies. as a matter of interest it is working perfectly in the top slot of my DM7025. I am running Nabilosat BH11.

Regards

try
/usr/bin/mgcamd_1.30d
to start mgcamd

 

[B16MCC]

The newcs.xml has nothing to do with starting MGCamd. If you install MGCamd from the addons panel and start it in the normal way in the blue panel it should start just fine.

The files of interest for MGCamd are :-
/var/keys/newcamd.list
/var/keys/camd_cfg

The second one may vary a little it seems due to version of MGCamd.

 

[woodseaves]

Thanks, I am aware of newcs.xml having nothing to do with starting MgCam and also the other two points. What I am trying to get right is the contents of the omnikey device section of the newcs.xml

I agree that MgCamd does start from the blue panel, as a matter of interest the caid is showing in the omnikey as 0900

Is it not allowed for someone to pm me a working newcs.xml for the omnikey?

if you downloaded v1.30d from the blue panel on BH0.11 the it will be /var/keys/mg_cfg

To B16MCC,
Hi,

In your config creator advanced mode the Newcs external readers is greyed out, apart from name,type and node, what other differences are there between the internal and external (omnikey) newcs?

Regards

 

[B16MCC]

That option hasn't been implemented yet. It will follow eventually.
There are several parameters that differ between sci (internal) and external readers. Certain params are simply not used on the sci device. This is all detailed in the files included with every NewCS release.

 

[satter]

@ B16MCC Where to find newcs.mips.pcsc ????

 

[andel]

google newcs-1_67RC1
its on rapidshare

 

[satter]

@B16MCC will the omnikey 3021 do also?

I bought a 3121 and am very happy with it it works 100 times better then smargo. But still 24 euro.

The omnikey 3021 is just 12 euro and i saw they use the same drivers as the 3121.
