Channel Freeze

[doomdoom88]

Hello

I have a 5800SX and for some reason the channels freeze every couple of minutes and it is really annoying. I was watching a film last night and I missed that much of the film because of the freezing that the film just didn't make sense in the end.
Can you please confirm I have the following correct:

[reader]
label = remote1
protocol = newcamd
key = 0102030405060708091011121314
device = *******************,****
account = *******,*******
group = 1
fallback = 1

Also when I try to download other Oscam's I get an error message after download saying:
Installing Enigma2-plugin-emu-oscam_7188_bin_only (pkt) to root...
Downloading http://addon.pkteam.pl/pli_plugins27...ly_pkt_sh4.ipk.

Execution Finshed

Thanks in advance

I have manged to fix the problem of downloaded other plugins by deleted some of the old ones and freeing up some space but I am still having problems with the channels freezing every couple of minutes, does anyone have any ideas?

The fact its working at all suggests you have correctly entered info ok - so maybe its at your provider's end?

Its strange because I have brought a couple of different gifts from different companies but they all react the same :(

I have just spoke to my supplier and they have said the line is running perfect so it must be a problem my end

[doomdoom88]

I have added extra information in my oscam file, does anyone have any suggestions what I can change to try and stop the freezing?
group=1
inactivitytimeout=1
reconnecttimeout=30
lb_weight=100
cccversion=2.1.2
cccmaxhops=10
cccwantemu=1
ccckeepalive=1

here is a typical server group in oscam




for cccam

[reader]
label = nameserver.ddns.net
enable = 1
protocol = cccam
device = nameserver.ddns.net,12000
user = name1
password = password1
group = 1
cccversion = 2.2.1
cccmaxhops = 3
ccckeepalive = 1

OR FOR NEWCAMD


[reader]
label = nameserver.ddns.net
enable = 1
protocol = newcamd
device = nameserver.ddns.net,13000
key = 0102030405060708091011121314
user = name2c
password = password2c
disableserverfilter = 1
group = 1



and user




[account]
user = nameuser1b
pwd = password1b
group = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
cccmaxhops = 5
cccreshare = 0
au = 1




if you are using oscam, you should be able to login using the oscam webif and see the ecm time for the server and user or users

Hello Echelon

Thanks for getting back to me I am going to change cccversion = 2.2.1 cccmaxhops = 3 the same as the example you just sent.
What is the other example "user" you have sent me?
And I have tried to login to oscam webif with username: user and password: pass but it won't let me login :(
The ECM is around 0.146 when channels are working and when it freezes it changes to around 1.666 on a short freeze and 3.512+ on a long freeze.

Thanks
Doomdoom

in oscam there is an oscam.user file

that is where the USERS are presented, so there will be at least one user, the box itself, that is using the server in the oscam.server file

if you cannot login to oscam in your browser using the box ip address then you have not set up the login port , username and password in the oscam.conf file where it shows webif

have a look at the oscam forum here, including the examples etc

I have had a look in my oscam.user this is whats in it:
[account]
User = user
Pwd = user
Group = 1

Should I change it to:
[account]
user = user
pwd = user
group = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
cccmaxhops = 5
cccreshare = 0
au = 1

P.s I have found my username and password in the oscam.conf :)

you can have multiple groups (more than 1 server, local or remote)

I suspect you are only using 1 so only need group 1 , or maye groups 1 to 3 if using 2 servers

I dont think altering the rest of it is important at this stage, but do so if you wish

the more you try , the more you learn, but some of those lines may not matter to what you are currently doing

if you have the oscam webif login sorted , you will see your server and its ecm time in the display panel for the user

assuming this is for 28e, then you will see the ecm time which should be maybe between 150ms and 300 ms and stable , whereas its poor if its over 400ms

if you have 2 servers in the oscam.server file, separate them as say group 1 and group 2 , or preferably group 2 and group 3

alter your user file to accept all groups listed, if in doubt alter it to like mine , groups 1 to 9 even if you have no 4 to 9

group 1 is normally used for a local card in the box (although I use group 9 to keep it away from the servers)

Yes you are right I only have 1 N line and I have changed cccversion = 2.2.1 cccmaxhops = 3 but I still get the freezing so I am now going to try adding group = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 cccmaxhops = 5 cccreshare = 0 au = 1.
My ecm times are all over the place so do you think this could be because of the supplier or my internet connection?

[echelon]

I have removed your attachment as it showed server info which is against the rules here (no server info at all)

yes it could be the internet

if you were uploading , that would also cause problems as it would maxx out the transmit

yes it could be the server (supplier)

hard to say unless you got a decent ecm time from somebody else , in order to prove your equipment is ok
(NBOX 5800SX e2 LINUX SAT BOX)

try the line on another box

also try the n line using cccam v 2.30 or mgcamd instead, for comparison with oscam

your target is below 400 ms and stable, probably below less than 200ms and stable

changing the info you mentioned will make no difference to this problem

I have a 27mb fiber optic connection and I have never had any downtime or slow internet speeds in the 2 years of me being with TalkTalk so I can't see it being my internet connection but I could be wrong.

I have now tried 3 other test lines from separate company and they all still freezed every couple of minutes so I am really confused now :(

I would really like to try and use cccam and mgcamd but they just come up with a blank screen but I have read around online and looks like they don't work on the nBox 5800SX, are there any other EMU's I could try?

My EMS is between 100-200 but then around every 3 minutes it crashes and shoots up to 3000-4000ems.

I really can't understand why it is doing this and I am starting to get really annoyed because this is now the second box that I have been unable to get working properly and there not cheap:(

[doomdoom88]

I have noticed in my Oscam Webif the following error but I'm not sure if it is whats causing the problem?
loadbalancer: can't read from file /tmp/.oscam/stat

[doomdoom88]

Also just found:
can't open file "/var/keys//oscam.tiers" (err=2 No such file or directory), no tier-id's loaded
can't open file "/var/keys//oscam.ird" (errno=2 No such file or directory) irdeto guessing not loaded
can't open whitelist file /var/keys//oscam.whitelist
can't open cacheex-matcher file /var/keys//oscam.cacheex

sounds to me as if oscam isnt loaded properly on your box (or its the wrong one for your image)

cannot comment on your box as we dont support it here, nor comment on your image for the same reason (at no time have you mentioned the image or version you are running , maybe its hyperion v4 or Nebula ?)

clearly you need an oscam that fully supports your box, ditto with mgcamd and cccam, which is why I mentioned them

cannot comment on other emus as I dont use them , only those 3 which work ok on a genuine vu duo

already stated you need to test this on a different box in order to eliminate equipment issues , so a spiderbox , technomate , blade or some other genuine easy to use bespoke box , you may not have access to one, but it wont change my advice

I would have thought that cccam or mgcamd would work on your box , I assume its running openpli or similar ? in which case you need a compatible oscam like I said as folders may vary

like I said, this forum does not support the NBOX , I SUGGEST YOU TRY A FORUM THAT DOES as one or two others seem to deal with this NBOX and emus etc

I can see your posts over on an "AID" forum ;) so suggest you stick with it over there seeing as they have all sorts of tutorials and files etc for your box , also bluepassat seems to know about them so let those people help you if you persist with this box

or buy a genuine box that we do support , then you will get the correct advice like everybody else that buys one and comes here for help, stop buying cheap boxes and go for quality like a solo 2 or duo 2
