Cccam freeze with premium CLine

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

Hi Triad,

I just try to reduce freezing time period which occurs not in specific channels.
It seems to be a general problem.

I disabled webinfo & telnetinfo & debug on cfg file.
I removed the prio file.
And I use only Satlovers CLines.
I didn't notice any internet speed problem.

I see you switched to Oscam.
Very good emu but lots of work for studying it...
I'm sticking to the Cccam at the moment, but will consider switching as well.
If you like you can have both emus on your rec, there's no need for only one emu installment.
I have Camd3, Newcamd, CCcam and Gbox and all are functional.
Install Cccam 2.2.1 if you need one, and report which channels are freezing and on which encryptions it's happening. We can apply then ignored caids on those encryptions we see as problem...
Cccam will take over those that are left and should decode without errors.
Those can be done for specific channels also.

If it's general problem on all providers and encryptions that I think saw you wrote, then aplok suggestions are a way to try.
Memory is the first potential problem in these cases.
Does Oscam have same dcw timings, about half a minute???

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

...

hello,

I tried your aplok cfg configuration with no success.

That means at least that
- for a given selected service (like 500:1234),
- an exclusive cam data transfer as

[cam.server] :=: cam.server.cline.restricted.500:1234 :=: (cloud) :=: [satbox]

ie the minimalist connection

is subject to data key time delay, and freezes.

According to your previous networking monitoring,
your internet transfer rate are beyond any suspicions.

At this stage, the remaining are:
- satbox hardware
- satbox software
- satbox config
- satbox bad process
- satbox bad connection

and

- cam server bad time response


I moved to OSCAM.
Congratulations !

I presumed your start monitoring your processes with the top command
Here are running processes during a freeze period time:


Mem: 125528K used, 446880K free, 0K shrd, 0K buff, 52504K cached
CPU: 0% usr 0% sys 0% nic 98% idle 0% io 0% irq 1% sirq


- your mem has 446880K free
- your cpu load is 0 %, as most of your processes are state waiting

Then you’re running usual services:


PID PPID USER STAT VSZ %VSZ %CPU COMMAND
461 457 root S 62008 11% 0% /usr/bin/enigma2
10633 10632 root S 12840 2% 0% /usr/bin/oscam --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam

320 1 root S 4144 1% 0% nmbd -D

...



So, far nothing special retain my attention.
All seems ok.

Nothing special here



For information here is my PC IP 192.168.12.11

Here are the details concerning my DBOX

Brand: VuPlus
Model: solo2
Chipset: 7356
Frontprocessor Version: None
Total Memory: 572408 kB

Free Memory: 498912 kB

Box Uptime: 6:58

Tuners
Tuner A: BCM7356 DVB-S2 NIM (internal) (DVB-S2)
Tuner B: BCM7356 DVB-S2 NIM (internal) (DVB-S2)


So far,
the process are ok
the socket seem ok

and

no annoying processing nor obfuscating connections reported



And here is the oscam.version file from /var/volatile/tmp/.oscam directory:

Unix starttime: 1397330957
Starttime: 12.04.2014 21:29:17

...



Now guys i hope we can identify the source of the problem

Sorry, this consistent monitoring report does not reveals anything wrong ...

Therefore, i suspect a delay with the cam server.


I suggest you to test the same test and monitoring upon another cccan server.
to demonstrate your satbox is operating properly.


- which is my present opinion -

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

Thanks aplok for your comments.

After having asked my internet provider to check my connections. They noticed one connected device affects the internal switch speed. We find the 10Mbps home alarm device disturbs internet dialogs. I have to change this setting for the next days.

They also advised me to use an external switch for a better inter-connections.
Tomorrow I'll receive a new Linksys to deepen my investigations.

Good night.

... why not just unplug them and test it ... ?

I have never heard such a huge number for an alarm system
Do you have IP camera?

What is your internet speed?

Anyway, you can just disconnect the cable from the alarm system as @aplok said, in order to find if this is causing the problem.

[breweryfr]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

During my tests I unplugged the device which is equipped with a camera.
My internet speed: Down 8,4Mbps - Up 1Mbps
With Alarm device unplugged , all ports used are at 100Base TX-FD.

But I know this is just part of optimizing my connections.

[aplok]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

... With Alarm device unplugged , all ports used are at 100Base TX-FD.

... and with the device plugged ? still 100Base TX-FD
any change when plugged/unplugged ?

... have your tried to monitor your wan internet broadband consumption when you plug your camera ?

... any unpaired load-balancing ?

[breweryfr]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

No aplok, the alarm device is unplugged. The camera is connected to the alarm device.
Since, I have 100Base TX-FD in all ports.

I use now a switch without alarm device. Freezes still there.

I cannot ping www .camserver. org with oscam.
Do I have to set a specific parameter ?

[aplok]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

I cannot ping ___www.camserver.org with oscam.

the command ping any.hostname.org is independent of oscam

this is a linux/gnu command

it should be successful on any server whith, of course, ping icmp protocol not disabled by the firewall

[breweryfr]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

Here are the results for a ping time a cam server from the DBOX

The vip server time is 31ms. Good news
The satlover server is 49ms no bad for the moment.

[aplok]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

The satlover server is 49ms no bad for the moment.

... so the internet connection is presently ok

- this measure the quality of the connection -

step 2: measure the time response of the cam server

this is given by the ecm time: 0.741 figure in the /tmp/ecm.info file given by cccam

you should have a similar info provided by oscam

[breweryfr]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

Yes in ecm.info the ecm time is 0.609s = 609ms.

[kalpikos]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

The internet seems to work ok and the ping - ecm time also looks ok.

I would like to sugest you one more test...

Deactivate or remove the C-line of satlover server and leave only the C-line from vip server.
Do you notice an improvement on HD channels?

[breweryfr]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

Hi Kalpikos,

I already done this exercise. I keep the vip server.

[aplok]

Re: Cccam freeze with premium CLine

... even if it has been done before,

probe results reflects the situation as it was at the given time it has been processed

- can server time response is variable, upon the server load itself -

so, this test has to be done to measure the server time response at a given time

it has nothing to deal with being redundant or not !
