Help with line

[Craig25]

Hi there folks

Looking for some help with my vu duo running on blackhole. I have a line loaded already but need to replace with another line. Any info on how to do this is much appreciated.

The previous line was installed for me prior to receiving box and I'm a total novice so was looking for advice on how to get the details currently in email format to the box.

Thanks

Re: Help with line

Just edit your CCcam.cfg file in /etc.
I assume you have dcc or vucc installed and know how to ftp your receiver?

Re: Help with line

Thanks bokkie. Like I said total novice how do I check to see if I have dcc or vucc installed.

Is ftp putting on usb and flashing to box and where can I find the cccam cfg file.

Thanks

Re: Help with line

you can try this:

1. telnet way:
[font="courier new"]telnet ipbox

root
passwd

cd /var/etc/cccam.cfg

# --- edit with vi
vi /var/etc/cccam.cfg
:i
enter your modif
<esc>
:w
:q

# --- to quit telnet
<c-z>
[/font]

2. edit it with notepad, on your pc,
then transfert it on to your saxbox with ftp

[font="courier new"]ftp ipbox

root
passwd

cd /var/etc
put cccam.cfg

quit
[/font]


3. edit it with notepad, on your pc,
then transfert it on to your saxbox with a gui client ftp


4. use tools as dcc, ...

Hi mate

VUCC is an application for your pc in order to connect your pc with your receiver.
To find the IP of your box go to your receiver and see in the network settings what is your IP.
Then go to your pc, open the VUCC and type the IP, username :root (there is no pass) and hit the connect button.
Then use the FTP button to open the filezilla.
Go to etc/cccam.cfg and hit a right click and select edit.
Put your new line deleting the old and save the file.

Re: Help with line

Just google DCC or VUCC they are file transfer programs on one side will be files on your box
on the other files on your computer so you would navigate to CCcam.cfg file in /etc then
go to where your line is and and cut and paste in to your CCcam.cfg.

Re: Help with line

Is your duo connected to your network? This is the first step, either wirelessly, direct to router or with home plugs.

Re: Help with line

I have just uploaded the latest version of VuCC.

You can find it here:

Re: Help with line

Cheers guys. Yip it's connected up and was working ok it's just that I've been sent a replacement line and don't have a scooby how to swap them over

I'll give vucc a shot as advised above

Hi Kalpikos
i've done as you said thanks. but when I right click and edit the cccam.cfg notepad opens with pages of text not sure where to paste the line details.

Re: Help with line

You don't really need all the text in there, just the line. Anything with a # on front will be ignored anyway.
Just delete the old line and paste the new one, then click save and exit.

Re: Help with line

got it sorted. Did exactly as you said found the old line and pasted new line over it. Now working a treat.
Have to say its quite daunting reading about using filezilla, Dcc, Vucc etc but when actually using the program its pretty straight forward.

Re: Help with line

Just for your info...

It's better using wordpad than notepad for view/edit the cccam.cfg or other files of this type.

Re: Help with line

... also do'nt forget the linux vs the windows format files ( cr/lf ) issue

if so, you can convert them with the command:

dos2unix file.cfg

Re: Help with line

The best Editor for .cfg files is Notepad++ its is free and corrects all the text and performs word mapping better than both notepad and wordpad combined.

Just download Notepad++ install and then associate the program with your .cfg files as the default editor.

Another tip and as mentioned above VUCC or its other incantations are better than DCC due to the fact you can edit files on your box through FTP instead of having to download them first like you do with DCC.

Also if your going to use Softcam keys with your system then do not have a Blank CCcam.cfg with just your line inside, a correctly configured .cfg file will read softcam keys for you a blank one will not.

yy

- to delete the current line
dd

- to paste the buffer
p


B.
- to copy the 3 lines from the current line
3yy

- to delete the 3 lines form the current line
3dd

- to paste 3 time the current buffer
3p


C.

x

- to paste the buffer

D.
- to delete the 3 characters form the current position
