Good morning,

@ ro_54
I can view all the satellites for my area, I am more interested if an emulator/card server type (oscam,CCcam,Ncam) would work over here.

Thank you,

K

yes, oscam or oscam-emu are working. I do not use any other emul types. I do not know anything about octagon. you have to find out what type of chip is in octagon and then load the appropiate oscam into it. there are tons of info on this site how to do it. I would recomend to start with the dish setup.

I may be in the same boat as bunkoknotty. I have grabbed the latest oscam emu file(s). But I have never set up oscam emu before on an Enigma2 STB of any sort.

Would there be a detailed step by step of how to set this up available?

Thanks in advance.

Would there be a thread with the basics, i.e. "copy these files to here, edit these files, set permissions on these other files...?" I don't even know where to begin. I do know how to FTP files to the Octagon SF8008, but am embarrassingly lacking in how to even get oscam-emu running on the STB. TIA.

I couldn't edit the previous message. My receiver is an Octagon SF8008, its chipset is 3798mv200 and its tuner is SI2166D. Currently I have openvix 5.2.017 installed.

look in the stickies,there are some guides to install oscam,and probably the readme might tell you how to install
Basically,you install oscam in /usr/bin...set permissions to 755
all the other files,including softcam.key go in /etc/tuxbox/config...if this folder does not exist,create it.'

To start oscam manually open telnet and type oscam (and you can include some options explained in oscam wiki)

in telnet, you can type
ps
and check if oscam is a running process listed

I must change a bit the instructions.
in Octagon sf8008,just got one of this.

oscam goes into /usr/bin and set attributes to 755
Softcam.key goes in /usr/keys

To run oscam you open telnet and type
oscam if you want to see how it logs information

to run it without logging type
oscam -b

When it runs,it creates the necessary readers for you in /usr/keys.And if you have valid keys in your softcam file you should have video.

Keep in mind that when oscam is running,you can open the browser in PC and type the address of the box and the oscam port,usually 8888

198.168.xxx.xxx:8888
You can see everything related to oscam

I have some problems I'd like to solve myself
First,it is not autorolling,and tried the usual troubleshooting,but have a log message I suspect is related to no au.

Nautilus 7 might shed some light on this.
