what is normal ecm times on oscam on vu duo and what would be considered as high ecm times?

Re: normal ecm times in oscam on vu duo

That is dependant on so many factors. Provider, broadband speed, server, etc.
On sly uk my ecm's are generally somewhere around 0,10-0.16.
I find that on weekends they sometimes creep up to around 0.25 and it is still pretty good. Just the odd glitch or two at that figure.

Card release is very important too. Old series cards have slower ecm time. In any case you shouldn't exceed 300 / 400 ms

Re: normal ecm times in oscam on vu duo

when u say 300/300 ms do u mean per connection to the server?

or all combines?

thanks in advance

400ms means all combinations. Actual cards have ~100 to 150ms and about 150ms for the rest.

Also depends on if you use Oscam or CCcam to read the card, a Local card should give a peer around 160ms if reading with mgcamd or newcamd with cache then any rise in that figure even up to around 300ms should not give a peer any glitch or freeze, Use Cccam to peer and peer reads by CCcam then 250ms - 300ms and above will cause problems

I mean the max time required by the card to process an ecm (locally, by the card reader).
At least, this is the longest ecm time I've ever seen for s_k_y_i_t "type 1" (first releases) cards on some particular transponders.
If you add the time required by the network you will be very near to the limit that will cause glitches.

Ohh, they can raise the time required to process an ecm up to 500 msec in order to slow it down by a counting routine.
Providers are watching the cs-scene and have just started to generate strategies against it. But a counter strategie against this may be the answered ecms to be saved in ram.
