Kaffeine plugin cccam

[ocram88]

Salve,
su ubuntu ho installato il player kaffeine e riesco a vedere i canali free to air. Esiste un plugin simile ad hadu che funzioni in ambiente linux?
grazie

Re: Kaffeine plugin cccam

fino alla versione 0.8 di kaffeine, si c'era un plugin dal nome kaffeine-sc-plugin da installare, con le versioni successive e stata tolta questa possibilità.
Vorrei che qualcuno mi smentisse perchè anche io sono diventato matto a cercare una soluzione! Ciao

Re: Kaffeine plugin cccam

Uso la versione 0.8.8. Quando vado in DVB Settings, ho una scritta DVB Plugin e se clicco su Softcam 0.4.0, si apre il plugin. Nel plugin trovo NEWCS, KEYS e OTHERS. Dove devo inserire i server cccam?

Hello,

Here you find the solution to your problem (props to ron273 )

If during the install process you see any warning messages, that is usually OK. An error message could be a problem. If so, write it down and don't go to the next step. ****** the error and see if you can find something. That is how I found out what worked and didn't work.
At all times in the terminal make sure you are root, unless specifically stated otherwise. I always do sudo -s.
My linux version is Ubuntu 9.04.
Kaffeine version: 0.8.7
Cccam version: 2.0.9
Kaffeine softcam plugin 0.4.0

OK, let's get started:
Open up a terminal window and type sudo -s. This will make you root for the complete install in this terminal window. Enter your root password when asked

apt-get install kaffeine
apt-get build-dep kaffeine
apt-get install g++
apt get install build-essential

Ok, if this is done, it is time to unpack the kaffeine-sc plugin to a folder. I always use home/your_username/downloads/DVB for this stuff.
Make sure you unpack it in a seperate directory. In ubuntu I use Ark to do this, but I am sure there are some terminal junkies that can do it from the terminal. If all goes well, you will have the contents unpacked in /home/your_username/DVB/kaffeine-sc-plugin-0.4.0 or something similar, so let's continue.
Before we go into the terminal again, we need to modify a file. Use your favourite editor and open up the file /home/your_username/DBV/kaffeine-sc-plugin-0.4.0/src/FFdecsa/Makefile. At the top you will find the line

COMPILER=g++34

. Change this to

COMPILER=g++

Save the file and exit.
A second file that gave me trouble was /home/your_username/DVB/kaffeine-sc-plugin-0.4.0/admin/detect-autoconf.pl. During make I got a permission denied error. So go into this directory and CHMOD this file to 777 (I always use Dolphin for this. Right Click on the file and select Properties).

We are ready to proceed

sh ./configure –without-arts (it did complain about arTs during the first configure and this solved it for me)
make
make install
apt-get install gcc-4.2
So that was easy, right? If during these steps, you get any errors it might be necessary to install some necessary packages. In that case (and onley then!) do the following:

apt-get install xorg-dev
pat-get install libqt3-mt-dev
apt get install kdelibs4-dev
In my case this was not needed, they were already installed during step 3.

Al right, let's compile this puppy!

gcc-4.2 -O -fbuiltin -fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -shared -o ca.so ca.c -ldl

Now we need to create the necessary directories and give them the right permissions.

cd /var
mkdir etc
chmod 777 etc
mkdir keys
chmod 777 keys
mkdir bin
chmod 777 bin

OK, we have all the packages installed and configured. Now it is time to put the Cccam stuff in the right place. To do this, unpack the Cccam-2.0.9 tarball in a directory on your system. I recommend something like /home/your_username/DVB/cccam-2.0.9. After unpacking, you will see some files in the directory.
Take the file Cccam.x86 and copy it into /var/bin
CHMOD the file into 777
Take the Cccam.cfg and copy it into /var/etc
Finally, from the plugin folder (/home/your_username/downloads/kaffeine-sc-plugin-0.4.0) take the file ca.so and copy it into /var/bin

Now we are almost done here. To complete the setup, open up Kaffeine and in the menubar goto DVB=>DVB settings. On the left in that window you will notice a new icon, called DVB-plugins. Click on it and you will see your plugins. Click on the Softcam 0.4.0 button and you will see a screen with some tabs. Click on the tab Others and check Enable CCcam client. Click OK and close the program.

We are now ready to start cccam and Kaffeine.
Open up a terminal window (not as root!)

cd /var/bin
LD_PRELOAD=./ca.so ./CCcam.x86 -d
Cccam is now started.
Your terminal output should look something like this:

The line CCcam: static cw not found or bad does not affect cccam behaviour. Also cccam not finding some files is not a problem. If it looks anything like this, you are good to go.
Finally start Kaffeine and enjoy!
