s3500 problem

[snore]

trying to enter server details into mgcamdconfigure and when i exit it isnt saving the details
also when i tried to use xcamconfigure it would just hang when i pressed start
can i just use cardclient.conf if so how, i entered my cline details but nothing, i just get the scrambled channel message, all FTA channels are working
any help would be much appreciated
thanks

not sure about your box but all I do is edit the cardclient.conf and put in the c line in the icecrypt format (not cccam format) and start xcam on my 4000

maybe you did not put them into the conf file using the correct syntax ?

gonna load xcam back on as i only have mgcamb and try running the xcam service

CWS = xxxx port user password 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13

is the format im using

well as I said I am not sure if you can use the cccam format or not

I am using the xcam format

maybe you need to read the site more seeing as you are new here ?

ps:- no idea why you have a WS in your c line either

you appear to be using a newcs format there , but with 14 missing

so its more like an N line and not a C line

i changed the format to cccam2:hostname:Port:0/0/0:username:Pass and i just get the cannot start any client when starting the xcam client

i've read quite a bit, is the format above (the cccam2 one) correct?

post 2 here https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?132517-How-to-use-newcs-in-xcam-%28and-cccam-and-newcamd-too%29 has the details as I updated it today

so I would have expected it to look something like this

cccam2:host.gotdns.com:12000:0/0/0:User1:Pass1

whereas a standard c line looks like this

c line

c:host.dyndns.org 15000 User1 Password1

thats what it looks like
do you think the fact i cant get the config plugin to run has anything to do with it, do i need to run the flash cleaner?

obviously you missed my posts where I stated I do not know your box !

mine is a 4000 as I stated earlier, but I believe the plugins work for various boxes , as would the correct syntax

https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?154030-Icecam-Plugin-bundle is the one I am using

same just getting the checking cccam2 message then it says cant start any clients, please check cardclient.conf or network settings, im just baffled now

so how do you know this line works ? does it work on another box ?

and how do you know the network is running between your box and your router ? can you ftp into it ?

[snore]

yes i can ftp to it fine its the only way i can enter my cline details, im pretty sure as i've tried a couple of test lines and same result, unfortunately i don't have another box to check them, im pretty sure its a problem my end though. don't know why the mcamd config plugin isnt working either thats what makes me think i need to completely reset the box

I would have thought you installed that plugin the same way as me , using a usb stick with a folder called plugin containing those files ?

assuming you did , all you do is add the c line into the conf file before installation , format the user data area first , then install the plugin

the other day I used the restore file on my 4000 using porter , and then formatted the user data area and installed the plugin wiyth my conf file amended

obviously you can ftp in and use the ftp program to edit it on site

I would ensure your firmware is up to date and if necessary reflash it clean , format the user data area and start again (if its like my 4000)

I am also unsure why you showed your line in newcs format earlier , that would indicate an N line, not a C line

[snore]

and can you use an nline? i thought both could be used the same in the conf file

[echelon]

and can you use an nline?

if a server supplies you an n line , then yes you can use them , but usually its a c line

what confused me is you talking about c lines and then pasting most of an N line

that sticky thread shows full details on using n lines , I added a lot of info on c lines to it today, from the tools section posts

right reflashed updated firmware and plugins, can start the xcam config plugin and its showing the details correctly so im guessing they are right in the conf file but i still get the same issue. Would it have anything to do with the network settings or anything that needs changing on the router??

to receive an n or c line you dont need anything special , just a valid router lan ip address (as proved if you can ftp into the ice) and internet access

so no I dont see why you need anything special, just a local lan ip address from the router

[snore]

then i am at a dead end, i cant see anything that isnt as it should be

[snore]

anyone else with any suggestions???
