DM800: newcs + CCcam not working - help!!!

freesat99 · 12-08-2009

I have a Sky (Blue - series 2?) card which still works for the FTV channels (Sky3, Fiver, Five USA) in a Digibox. I would like to get this to work in the DM800. My goal is for C4 HD which is also FTV (AFAIK).

I am running telnet in two DOS windows to try to figure out what to do. I have searched various forums and found the information to be incomplete, but slowly I am piecing it together.

First problem is actually understanding exactly what newcs and CCcam (and others do). I think I now have a better understanding of this.

Newcs is a smart card manager and I assume acts like a server which clients (local or rmote) can attach to to request smart card "actions".

If I run newcs (v1.65, but also tried v1.66) it appears that the card is being accessed correctly. The webpage dm800:8080 appears to confirm that this program is accessing the smart card correctly.

The problem occurs when I run CCcam (v2.1.1). It appears to ignore the newcs port (50010 in my case) and appears to try to access the card directly, but fails and retries. This action apears to "upset" newcs.

In the CCcam.cfg I only have

Code:

N: 127.0.0.1 50010 CCcam CCcam 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

and I have checked that the port, username, password and des key all match the values in newcs.xml.
Interestingly in the webpage dm800:16001 it does appear that CCcam has found the port 50010.

newcs log in console - looks encouraging...

Code:

root@dm800:/etc# /usr/bin/newcs -d

What does a "good" log for CCcam look like?

Should CCcam be using port 50010 to ask newcs to return data from the smart card?

have a look at this for the blue cards, dont need to block emm or use boxkey

Sky UK card not working in DM800 Card Reader

Infact you dont need NewCs for the blue card, CCcam will read it itself and update it.

Been up all night trying to get a non sky router working on sky BB and my heads melted lol But I got there.

**B16MCC** · 12-08-2009

Yep as Tom mentions, there's no need for NewCS for the old sky blue card. Just install CCcam 2.1.2 from the blue/green panel and start it. You don't even need to modify the config to use it locally. Bare in mind ofcourse by the end of the year its highly likely this old card( CAID 0961 ) will be switched off.

freesat99 · 13-08-2009

Forgot to mention I run LT5. I've experimented with various images just to see what each might give. I'm not settled on this and would be interested to hear which image is best suited to the UK (e.g add-ons etc.).

The "cam" tools don't run from the menu or coloured buttons, but this shouldn't be an issue as I am runing them in a console in order to see all the diagnostic output.

If I run CCcam (v2.1.1) by itself, it appears to try to read the card but fails

Code:

00:43:59.297 CCcam: card init fail

->So does anyone know what I put in the CCcam.cfg to prevent CCcam from trying to read the card in /dev/sci0?

I've googled and found other people who have had the same problem, but nobody has posted the solution :-(
It appears to interfere with newcs which appears to be happily accessing the card. Also from the newcs webpage it appears that several entitlements ran out a couple of day ago - doh! So I have put the card back into the digibox. It no longer decodes Sky3 (or Fiver or Five USA). So until the card is updated (not sure if this will happen) I can't continue experiments with newcs/CCcam.

I found some providers and channelinfo files and installed them. I don't know whether they are important or just to make the debug more readable?
