In the newcs management setting the CCcam rate is set on 0 while the other user is set on 2 is this correct or should they both be set on 0?

hi,

im only new to dreamboxes. i've read this forum for months and then i went ahead and got sly hd and 2 dm800s for at home. i set it all up last friday and everything was going fine. now i come home this evening and i am getting serious freezing issues on the main box (the one with card)

i have the white card in an omnikey 3121 and everything was fine, but now (on any channel except FTA channels) i get picture for about 15 seconds and the it freezes for approx 30 seconds. i have tried many reboots but to no success.

is there anything i can post here that you guys could have a look at for me or is there something easy im missing?

the card is in the omnikey being read by newcs 1.67.pcsc and the onto cccam2.1.2 on nabilo v0.11 all on dm800

thanks
adam

ok adam, we must stay away from posting complete configs or indeed anything near to a complete config to abide by board rules. With this in mind I'll ask a few questions.

How many peers are on the card ? Is it just your 2 DM800's ?
What are your blocker settings in your newcs config ? You need to block GA.

Ok guys for the good of learning and sharing I've moved my NewCS server and 0963 card in the same omnikey from my ubuntu pc to my DM7025 to compare performance.

Now lets get a few things straight here, it was running on a Dual Core P4 at 2.4ghz with 2gb of corsair 800mhz ram. The DM7025 is not going to be as good. However I'm expecting it to be totally acceptable. I'll post my findings later in the week.

I have noticed when the rates are set at all 2 i get freeze but if i just change the CCcam rate to 0 and leave the others set at 2 its perfect no freeze.

Has anyone else noticed this?

:toke: Put your Sly boxes back in the wardrobe guys. :toke:

For about 2 weeks or so now my DM7025 has been running MGCamd 1.31 connected to my NewCS Server. When I moved from CCcam to MGCamd my 0963 card entitlements where Oct 16th. I've been leaving the box on all the time and last night it was on Sly Sports 1 over night and this morning my entitlements are Dec 5th !

Yes that's right MGCamd will update the 0963 card in NewCS. Massive thanks to Dr chasm for bringing this into the debate. It is now confirmed working !

My Config Creator will be updated as soon as possible to include a MGCamd config to work with NewCS. I will not post config details here in the thread to conform with board rules but its safe to say its pretty standard stuff.

yeah i understand about not posting configs etc.

yup, its just my 2 dm800 on the local network. i'll check it again later when im home and see if there's been any change.

i used your config creator so GA & c0 (spell check?) are blocked

thanks

B16MCC just a quick question regarding mgcamd and a 963 card, if I swap from my current config of newcs+cccam over to newcs+mgcamd what is the best solution for the other boxes that share currently from cccam?

what will I have to change to ensure that they and my system can share each others cards? - Does everybody have to swap over to mgcamd? or can I give them a n line for newcs

You only have to have 1 user in newcs with AU enabled. That user then uses MGCamd to access your card and it will update when required. That user can be your own box ofcourse. All other users can remain using CCcam using C or N lines.

It totally depends on your personal requirements. If you're using CCcam to connect to other people then you're gonna need that.

If no then just don't use it.
If yes , then you're gonna need to run both in order to update your card.
Looking at your boxes listed in your profile, could you just run MGCamd on one of your 600's and stick to CCcam on everything else ?

Im using nabilosat BH 0.11, on the green button the latest version of Mgcamd is 1.30d but googling mgcamd im seeing references to 1.33 but am struggling to find a download.

FYI.
I'm using MGCamd 1.30d + newcs 1.67RC1 and working perfectly with omnikey reader. I will check the next few days for entitlement updates. Don't forget to change your blocker settings in newcs.xml

Am I reading this correct guys, we can run MGCamd 1.33 + newcs 1.67RC1 + CCcam 2.1.2 on the same dreambox?

For now that would be the ideal situ for mysel as I need to be able to run CCcam to handle various shares, but also would like the card to auto update via newcs + mgcamd.

I know full configs are not allowed on here, but any chance of a rough idea as to how/what etc..

Thanks for all your hard work - appreciated by everyone im sure! :D

Not familiar with the dual tuner models of stb's but you cannot run 2 emu's on the same box at the same time. I realize that one of the replies on this thread may be unclear, but basically if you need to have peers connect to your cccam server than you will need an updated version of CCcam (which allows AU as the MGCamd emu) or have the box with the sub card running mgcamd and another box running CCcam whch connects to the newcs via a N line and your friends connect to the cccam server.
Of course the other option is to give out all N lines but this is not a good choice.

Thanks for the clarification on that. That's how I understood things but just wanted to double check incase I was being stoopid! :-rofl2

so just to double clarify, If I only have one DM800 then I CAN run newcs + mgcamd + a special cccam?

NO.
Run NewCs & CCcam as normal. Keep an eye on your Entitlements.
When you've got only a few days left stop CCcam and start MGCamd and leave it overnight. When you get up in the morning check for an entitlement update.
If its updated go back to CCcam.
