TPS with Dreambox, MGcamd and SBCL_vPlug

compufunk

There may be a few months of TPS viewing left, so here is an updated guide to clearing it with MGcamd and SBCL_vPlug.

The procedure will probably be similar for other Linux STBs ????? Llew?

On the PC and the Dreambox,
1: Synchronize the time and date.

On the Dreambox.
1: Add the following line to /var/keys/newcamd.list (If newcamd.list doesn't exist, create it).

e.g.

The username and password can be anything you like, they are only there as part of the newcamd protocol and are not used by SBCL_vPlug

2: If you are using Softcam.key, disable the the following TPS key by commenting it out (by adding # at the beginning of the line) or delete that line. The line you want to comment out begins as follows.
V 007C00 08 should read #V 007C00 08 after editing.

On the PC

1: Get SBCL_vPlug here. (I have bundled what was working on my machine today and uploaded it here).
_http://d2.myfreefilehosting.com/d1/SBCL_vPlug_TPS-ABSat.zip

2: Extract the files to whatever folder you like.

3: Download the lates TPS.bin file from wherever you want.
Its usually available here.
_http://dvb-upload.com/

4: Put the latest unzipped TPS.bin file in the plugins directory (....\SBCL_vPlug_TPS-ABSat\plugins)

5: Start up SBCL v1.0i-TPS-ABSat.exe. At this point your firewall should ask you whether to block or unblock this application. Unblock it. You may have to do this manually if you are not prompted.

6: In the tuner tab, press stop to allow editing of the client IP, Insert your dreambox IP here, (see attachment). Then click start.

7: Change to a TPS channel on your dreambox.

8: In the blue panel on the Dreambox, start/restart MGcamd.


You should see SBCL connect to the dreambox and begin to send keys.

There should be no need to enable port forwarding on your router, I have never come across the need to do so on an internal LAN where communications are not passing over the router to the outside world. (Or rather the other way round)

The plugins directory will be automatically detected by the application.

If there are any questions or anything I have missed, I can elaborate some more tomorrow. I'm short on time at the Minute.

PS: This should also work with CCcam as in mhku's original guide. although, I have not tested.

Mods, Please move this thread if you feel its appropriate.

If TPS lasts that long

Same principle compufunk. For the TD, I change password to 'dragon' in the newcamd.conf line (found in /var/tuxbox/config/newcamd.conf).

Incidentally, in the lower box (SBCLx2) I have my TD's IP address. Doesn't make any difference to it talking to the TD though.

Yes this is good tutorial but what about CCcam 2.0.9 is it possible to work TPS with keys on CCcam ?

Yes I tried it out last night. Works fine.

As far as I can tell, the username + password in that line do not matter, I figured there was something not right as the dreambox username + password were being used to connect to the PC. I tried putting garbage in those parts of the line and it still works.

I guess that they are only there as standard newcamd protocol connection syntax.

I haven't tested, but I believe TPS has had some changes, at the minute its not being cleared by SBCL/vPlug.

(Sorry if this was posted elswhere, I haven't had time to keep up to date recently

Didnt you notice the last post before yours?

There was a workaround for a short while, but Last time I looked TPS was unavailable with the above method.
I didnt think it worth while look any further into it, I never watched TPS anyway.

At this stage, I would forget about it.

Bye bye TPS
