It loaded on the stb OK.

However, it will not start as it says it cannot find a server.

I would be interested to know how to use this. Idiot´s Guide only!

Me too, Would like to know what this does, as buck says idiots guide only please

[reboot]

This is not an idiots guide but a brief explaination of what the Xcam plugin is and how to use it. Xcam is the CCCam and NewCamd client for the Icecrypts 4000 and 6000.
You need to have your own access to a C-line or N-line server to use Xcam.
No test servers are included so you will have to find your own.
You enter the C-line or N-line either via ftp(like it is on Dreamboxes) or via the remote control using the second part of the plugin the Xcam config.
I am only explaining the second method(remote) here as the first method(ftp) is for more advanced users who will already know how to do this.
The Xcam config gives you a onscreen interface to enter your server details using the remote handset.
To enter a C-line via remote control, start the Xcam config in the plugin menu, a window will appear, select the first slot.
Most CCCam servers are now CCCam2 so on client toggle left or right to select CCCam2.
Server URL and port details are straight entry so for example if your C-line is

C:dodgyserver.dyndns.com:12000:Us er:Password

Then your Xcam config would look like this

Slot 0
Client CCCam2
Server URL dodgyserver.dyndns.com
Port 12000
EMM disabled
CAID 0
MASK 0
User Name User
Password Password

Once you have entered your C-line details, exit from the config, then start the client.
If you have entered the details correctly and the server is working you should get "XCAMCL install complete" any other reply normally indicates either incorrect CCCam details or non-functioning server.
Hope this helps guys.

I found a test server on the internet and followed the above and when i started
Xcam it eventually showed "XcamCL install complete"! Nearly fell on the floor in
amazement.
What exactly is "your server details"?

Having got it running, what can I use it for? Do Ineed to run Mcas and card at the
same time?

Awaiting breathlessly!

Buck, If the test server you found has any cards to share you should be seeing something by now?
You can run Mcas and Xcam at the same time or seperately as they do different jobs.
Mcas is the Multicas card reader and Xcam is the C/S client.

its the stuff we dont talk about on here as it breaks the rules

so you are sailing very close to the wind , close enough to the point where you fill in the blanks yourself and dont expect them to be served up on a silver platter by others who would therefore have broken the cs rules here ;)

WORK IT OUT YOURSELF !!
