Mgcamd recordings don't work for me

I have a dilemma. I have found Mgcamd 1.35 to be more stable than Incubuscamd 0.97 and more compatible with Cccam 2.14. However on any DGS type image on a 9000HD Cuberevo(I have latest NLB) I notice recordings of scrambled programs only works for about 7 seconds. I can record unscrambled programs without a problem. If I use Incubuscamd I can again record scrambled recordings. Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone provide a solution to the dilemma?

Hi

I am using Sifteam 11694 and can record up to two channels at the same time and watch the 3rd one ?

Mgcamd has three files called newcamd/newcamd1/newcamd2 and this allows you to record and watch at the same time, however I have two tuners inside my 9k...

Still can't get Mgcamd to work on scrambled recordings. Tegs can you say a bit more about the other config files that are needed?

OK,

1) do you have two tuners in your IPBox ?
2) what mgcamd are u using ?
3) can you see those 3 files newcamd.list / newcamd1.list and newcamd2.list in var/keys ?

Yes, 1.35, no newcamd.list or newcamd1.list or newcamd2.list

Can you show your newcamd.lists?
Must I have empty newcamd.list files even if I'm using mgcamd as a cccam client?

Sorry m8 you lost ma a bit. Do you have a problem with the recordings or are you trying to set your box as a client to cccam ?


Anyway this is what should be in your newcamd files:

newcamd.list
CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300
CWS_INCOMING_PORT = 21000
CWS = 127.0.0.1 10000 pkt0 pkt0 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
CWS = 127.0.0.1 10001 pkt1 pkt1 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

newcamd1.list
CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300
CWS = 127.0.0.1 10110 ipbox_rec local 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan cardserver
CWS = 127.0.0.1 10010 ipbox_rec local 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan cardserver

newcamd2.list
CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300
CWS = 127.0.0.1 10110 ipbox_pip local 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan cardserver
CWS = 127.0.0.1 10010 ipbox_pip local 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan cardserver


You will also have to create ipbox_rec and ipbox_pip in your newcs config or copy it here so I can have a look

Sorry for confusion...
The answer is BOTH.
I am trying to do both Teps ie record scrambled stuff with mgcamd (which stops working after 7 seconds) I am simply using mgcamd as a client (NOT alongside newcamd). I don't otherwise have a problem with mgcamd. It works if I record unscrambled channel. It also works as a cam.

I think you should download mgcamd+newcas. chmod them to 755 and see if that helps with your recordnigs.

If you want your mgcam to work as a client you will have to edit your cccamd.list (var/keys) and make sure your mgconfig is also edited properly.

Hi Guys, I am running Mgcamd 1.35 on the latest Sifteam image and have no issues on playback of recordings from encrypted channels and can watch another encrypted channel while the recording takes place. So if I can help resolve this by providing specific details let me know

Thanks for your help and suggestions but I am still unable to do recordings with a DGS image despite putting newcas in the mix and doing chmod. I however have no difficulties recording scrambled stuff with an E2 image. Really odd!

ok I had this problem also and did this to fix it, change the G: to 33 in your mg_cfg

forget where I read about this, may have been in the readme, but this fixed the recording problems for me, hope this helps.
# network mode, use summ for several clients
# 00 no network (default)
# 01 newcamd netclient
# 02 radegast netclient
# 04 camd3 netclient
# 08 gbox netclient
# 32 cccamd netclient, card list saved as /tmp/cccamd.info
# (ECM only, supported server version up to 2.1.1, later not work)
G: { 33 }

what image you using? try the latest PGI-0.6 and install mgcamd again, it is working very well for me
