How to use SBCL/VPLUG with a Dreambox


Introduction

It is possible to watch TPS with a Dreambox. To do this you need to install SBCL/ vplug on your PC and to modify a config file on your Dreambox. You will then to put the new TPS files onto your PC each day.

This guide will use CCcam; it is possible to use other cams if you modify the relevant config file (See appendix not done yet).


Prerequisites

1. Download SBCL/ vplug from here:

Code:
http://www.sat-universe.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69472&d=1214591072

2. Download the latest TPS.BIN files .
Code:
http://www.sat-universe.com/showthread.php?t=75301

3. Find your router here:

Code:
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm


PC Setup

1. Install SBCL and amend the path in plugins\vplugin.ini to match
2. Put the latest TPS.bin, into the plugins folder
3. Start SBCL (click on the SBCL .exe)
4. Click on the tuner tab and enter your Dreambox IP address
5. Set protocol to newcamd
6. Click the START button
7. Select vplug from the menu bar and select ACTIVE
8. Select vplug from the menu and select SHOW MONITOR



Dreambox setup

1. Install CCcam if not already done.
2. FTP /var/etc/CCcam.cfg to your PC
3. Add this line to your config file usng your IP address (do a FIND on SBCL in the file):

N: 192.168.1.2 6001 test test 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14

4. FTP CCcam.cfg back to /var/etc/ on your Dreambox


Date/ time.

1. Open a telnet session to your Dreambox.
2. Type date
3. Set your PC to the same time as your Dreambox


Router setup- optional

You may need to configure you router for port forwarding on port 6001. Setup forwarding on this port to your PC's IP address.

For details on how to do this for your router see here:

Code:
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm


Firewall

You may need to enable port 6001. For some reason I had to allow port 1034.


Test

With SBCL running on your PC, go to a TPS channel and set CCcam as the default cam.

In the vplug Monitor/ SBCL window you should now see SBCL sending the keys to your Dreambox and you should be able to watch TPS channels


Updating


Stop SBCL and put the latest TPS.BIN files into the plugins folder.
Restart SBCL.


Other

You need to update TPS.BIN on a daily basis.


note: How you work CCCam
1. CCCam
CCCam.cfg:
In the string
N: <your computer IP here> 6001 dummy dummy 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
replace <your computer IP here> with your computer IP

2. SBCL
Tuner tab:
Replace 192.168.1.5 with your receiver IP

HI Lan,

I tested Baloota files with dreambox 7000 and evocamd 212, with no success.
Would you please explain which emu you used and what stages have you gone trough before getting sbcl work on dreambox.

Many thanks to you and cheers to Baloota.

Hi arachaz,
Works fine with mgcamd 1.30d and config files (newcamd-client.txt, newcamd.list)
Just change IP adress of Dreambox on SBCL Tuner.

I just keep getting ECHO: No response disconnecting.

Can anyone say if they have done anything different than in this tutorial to get it working?

Hi arachaz,
For no freeze do not activate AutoECM,AutoPMT,AutoCAT in vplug 2.3.3 and ajust time in vplug's Editor (GMT + 0 2 for me).
It works fine for me with Dreambox7000s Gemini 4.40 and Mgcamd 1.30d
Excuse my bad english.
Enjoy

For all who this is not working a couple of tips:

1) You must remove all the TPS keys from the SoftCam.key file on the Dreambox
2) IF IT STILL DOES NOT CLEAR: On SBCL go to 'vPlug' on top bar and click on 'Activate' then wait a couple of seconds and click on it again. TPS should now clear in a moment. If not try again! The 'Activate' button must not be checked (ticked) for it to work. You might have to do this every time you reboot or change channels from TPS to a non TPS channel and back again.

I was pulling my hair out until I cracked number 2 above.

Hope that helps.
