View Full Version : Cryptoworks card - newcs/mgcamd?

My card has issues in the standard MultiCAS slot (shows entitlements but won't decrypt) and neither will it via NewCS/MGCamd - Irdeto 2 card is fine in the same setup.

ECM requests are currently being sent from MGCamd and are being handled by NewCS although the response is almost always NOT OK - very occasionally an OK will go through giving me a brief glimpse of picture. The card inits and entitlements are read perfectly by NewCS. Works perfectly in an official Crypto CAM.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

A quick update to this - using the latest mgcamd/newcs build with support for Smargo and now all is OK with the card. Must be an internal reader issue with my card. For now all good with the USB Smargo.

What build of newcs/mgcamd are you using and from where did you get. All I can get from the internal reader is card incorect and my Omnikey it does not even look.

It's newcs 1.66 and Mgcamd 1.33. I'm not sure the Omnikey is supported in the latest build (the 2 card/Smargo one) although not played with it too much. The Smargo was a bit of a let down in that it resets each time the box is booted and is then not detected.

Looks like we are just going to have to wait until this box gets some more support. When you say you think the omnikey is not supported do you mean newcs or firmware.

Interestingly when I looked at this again last night my card is seen by Newcs in top card reader as CAID 0D00 although the stream read by Mgcamd and requiring decrypting is 0D01 - meaning that Mgcamd wasn't sending the request to Newcs. I did a mapping of CAIDs and it now does send the request although I'm back to my old situation of the ECM response being NOT OK. Card continues to work fine in official CAM - any thoughts on the difference in CAIDs and the failure to send good ECM response?

Thanks.

Anda further update. In newcs 1.65 on my PC it gets the CAID 0D01 and mgcamd decodes the channel fine.

Any thoughts on the differing CAIDs between different readers?

I think this must be down to a firmware issue as a card reader is only a mecanical conection. All the usb card readers use there own firmware and newcs in order to work.

I tried my Omnikey reader again and it shows up in newcs managment but does not read the card. What line did you put in newcs.xml regarding the usb port and did you use the front or rear port.

I used front port with settings as per do***entation - /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 I seem to remember. I used a Smargo though which seemd to be the only supported device according to docs.
