[VU+ Zero] Mgcamd needs to be restarted

[IAmATeaf]

I knows it's not the answer but can you guys not use oscam? I moved to it long ago and never looked back, found all the info I needed by doing a search on here and on google.

With OSCAM, i do get an issue with multi tuners. If i'm recording something and watching something, only one is successful, teh other is a blank screen. Just somehting to note with oscam.

This must be an issue with your setup. I and many others run Oscam on several multi tuner boxes without issue.

With the increasing move to arm processor based boxes by manufacturers it is better to bite the bullet now and move to Oscam as there is no other choice for them.

I also have no issues with recordings, i have an et10000 with 2 sat and 2 cable tuners.

I'm sure I have an mg.cfg file when I used to use mgcamd I'll see if I can locate it and will upload it as I had no issues when I used to use it.

Which one is the best?

Oscam Latest is all you need.

I have exactly the same problem with MGCam. Its oly started happening over the last few months. I have to restart it maybe once a day. Pretty frustrating if you set up timers only to find a blank screen. It might need to be Oscam for me too, guess I will need to do a bit of reading up first.

just a query with people and issues are you using 1.38 and have it set to autostart and box is hard wired?

 

[grahammcm1888]

I am using 1.35a and autostart is enabled. I used to run 1.38 ages ago and switched to 1.35 because it was more reliable. I will give 1.38 another go and find out if it needs to be restarted periodically and post back with my findings.

 

[Andy_Hazza]

1.38 is rock solid, providing you have good config files. But you'll never beat Oscam, complete different kettle of fish and loads better imo.

multi tuner boxes need 1.38 to be used and even use it on my single tuner boxes.

Had to restart 1.38 this morning

as advised by Andy Hazza ,mgcamd with good mg.cfg or better still oscam, a little more difficult,but not too much, but worth the effort .Just to add there is a later version of mgcamd 1.45, if you want to try that

You will find that does happen with Mgcamd.

I have honestly never had an issue with having to restart MGCam before. Only started happening recently. Anyway I bit the bullet and setup Oscam. I got there after a little bit of working out. Up and Running and hopefully no restarts required !!
