i cannot get to work cccam with newcs on ubuntu this is what I get when I switch on cccam213

i just place cccam in /bin and start from there and it seems to run fine

Hi,

Thank you for a well explained howto. I did the installation with a little twist, and was hoping somebody can clarify a few things.

I have a linux PC-server (ClarckConnect 4) with CCcam 2.0.10. So far I have 3 Smargos configured in the CCcam.conf as /dev/ttyUSB0, USB1 and USB2. All working well.

As I understand it the new Sky UK White card does not work directly with CCcam 2.0.10, and so I wanted to give the Newcs a try. (can not upgrade to latest Ccam due to kernel incompatibility, need to set up new box with newer OS)

I used the dreambox config creator 090 to create the newcs.xml file. I copied the xml file, removed the internal readers from the file, changed the box key.

I have newcs 1.65 installed on my server. Reprogrammed my router so that I can call port 8080 for web interface.

Entered the N: line as showed in CCcam.conf.

Where I was a little uncertain about is how to name the smargo that is to be used in newcs. I added a new card reader in the hub, and in newcs.xml I called it /dev/ttyUSB3.

The card entered in USB3 is a white Sky card with the package from Ary Qtv.

Launched newcs, no complaints about card reader or box key, so this looks promising. I manage to call the web interface. The reader status shows.

Readers Status

Status CAID Mhz Resets ECMs Net ECM Node Reader
ok 0900 368 90 0 0 /dev/ttyUSB3 0 (SmargoSkyUK)

So it tells me that it found a card of some type, clocking at 357, and at this time 90 resets. But I see no entitlements.

In CCcam under servers I see this:

+----------------------+------------+-------+--------+----------------+-------+-------------------------------+
| Host | Connected | Type | Version| NodeID | Cards | CAID/Idents |
+----------------------+------------+-------+--------+----------------+-------+-------------------------------+
|127.0.0.1:10001 | |newcamd| | | 0 | |
+----------------------+------------+-------+--------+----------------+-------+-------------------------------+

Iow, it knows about the server, but it is not connected. Can anyone give me a hint what could be missing here?

After reading all this info on the forum, I also read that B16MCC said that he still hasn't managed to use SkyUK on newcs with a Smargo. Is that still the case? Is that the reason I get the wrong caid? (0900 -> 0963).

Here is what the output is when starting newcs:

right, after several nightly hours of tinkering with my setup, I finally got it. Newcs 1.65 just doesn't do the trick. It can not read caid 0963 cards. Upgraded to 1.67 and TATAA!!! Card was recognized.

Still not able to let CCcam 2.0.10 connect to newcs 1.67. So I will do the test with 2.1.12.

Question: Somewhere on the internet I found a topic about the monthly update of the card. It claimed that there was no way to have an auto-update feature for that yet, and that the only way to get the card updated is to put it in the original Skybox.

Is this information correct?

<Studpid question>
At the start of the thread there is a list of prereq's but nowhere does it list a tuner card. Am I missing something? Can you recommend a good dual tuner card? I want to build a Ubuntu setup to replace my current $ky HD setup and also want to share that with other boxes if/when needed.
</Stupid Question>

Thank Carrpet for your answer. However I must say that there is a lot of information out there, and very easy to get lost in the welth of information.

I know that CCcam 2.1.3 handles the auto updates well. But how about newcs 1.67? I could not find any info there...

@satman,

If you read your card in your Ubuntu server using Newcs 1.67 (and Omniflex card reader) it will update if you have Mgcamd 1.30, 1.31 or 1.33 (with au enabled) on a Linux based satellite receiver connected as a client. In the S1y white card 0963 thread this is covered - chapter and verse. I hope this helps

Many thanks for this guide I have a functioning server now !

My question is 1: can someone do a CCcam guide

2: how do I add a second Omnikey reader to the Newcs config ???

cheers : paul

Easy as pie: copy everything from <device> to </device>, so you have a second "device"-tag in newcs.xml. Locate the line "<node>0</node>" and change this to 1, locate the line "<port>xxx</port>" and change it to yyy (being any other value than xxx in the range 1024~65535). Restart newcs. You will now have two newcs-Servers available on the same ip: one at port xxx, and a second one at port yyy, each one representing one of the omnikeys.

To add another omnikey you add another device in newcs.xml but change the Node to 1

ie

Code:

<device>
<name>Omnikey</name>
<type>pcsc</type>
<mhz>368</mhz>
<node>1</node>
<parity>odd</parity>
<reset>normal</reset>
<export>Yes</export>
<enabled>Yes</enabled>
<boxkey>01020304</boxkey>
<blocksa>No</blocksa>
<blockua>No</blockua>
<blockga>Yes</blockga>
<blockC0>Yes</blockC0>
<carddetect>Yes</carddetect>
<newcamd_port>12010</newcamd_port>
<autosid>Yes</autosid>
<priority>round</priority>
</device>

Thanks guys for your help, I can see both readers in terminal when i execute pcsc_scan they are labled reader 0 and 1 but if i check my tm600 it only see's 1 card on the server ?? am i doing something wrong ??
