Convert cccam to mgcamd?

Re: Convert cccam to mgcamd?

Mgcam has a cache buffer so less glitchy than CCcam. I mainly use CCcam as my server is pretty much glitch free so I don't really need to change, but I also have Mgcam and Oscam configured on my stb ready to run should I need them.

Re: Convert cccam to mgcamd?

I have found mgcamd to be more stable than cccam and also the clearing of a channel is
quicker then cccam so you don't even notice it when zapping channels.

Did you compare ecm times or it is just an impression ?
What version of mgcamd are you using ?

[mahrkpat]

Re: Convert cccam to mgcamd?

I am using mgcamd 1.38, it is more of a impression then comparing ecm but the delay in the
channel clearing channel was noticeable with cccam and not noticeable at all with mgcamd.

Re: Convert cccam to mgcamd?

I also use in your receiver emulator mgcamd 1.38, in my opinion it is more stable than other emulators, though probably it's a matter of habit

Re: Convert cccam to mgcamd?

what i like with cccam is the info given by the web interface

--http://127.0.0.1:16001/servers
--http://127.0.0.1:16001/...

with a standard installation,
without addon

can you tell me if mgcamd proposes such http informative pages

thx

I agree with you my friend

Web interface of cccam it's very nice and very usefull

For mgcamd, there is no web interface but only a log file that you need to activate it in mg_cfg, and it can be found in /var/log.
Also, you can see some info from the mgstat.info and mgshare.info in tmp folder.

... but it takes tooo many time to clear the channels when compared to cccam. Is there something wrong in the mg_cfg file?

Another question: we insert the nlines like in cccam?

Have you edited your priority list? I had the same problem as you until I edited the it then channel change was very fast..
N lines are entered like this:
CWS = 192.168.1.1 20000 dummy dummy 10 02 13 04 15 06 17 08 01 10 11 12 13 14
Just change the n: for CWS =

The priority list can be ported from cccam.prio?

Re: Convert cccam to mgcamd?

I don't use priority list at all, and all working very well.
You don't really need it.

kalpikos, you have a dm500s, right? Can you show your mg_cfg configurations, please?

Another question: since i have inserted a cline the mgcamd is not reading the softcam.key file. What happened?

[purenirvana]

Re: Convert cccam to mgcamd?

I would like to give mgcamd a try. What version of mgcamd do you suggest? Does anyone have the mg_cfg file configurations for dm500s to work with clines?

regards

1.35a is the usual version people use.

Does mgcamd have an own webinterface as cccam has?

Then it's a real alternative to cccam and I'll start thinking about a change.

(Sorry, perhaps the answer is in another topic here, but at the moment I don't have the time for much reading)

There is not a webinterface in MGCamd, but you can activate a log file option in mg_cfg. The log file can then be found in /var/log.
