[VU+ Zero] Mgcamd needs to be restarted

[sponge_bob]

I'm having to restart mgcamd138c every so often to get my channels working again. I looked into this but couldnt find any solution to it so far.
I have tried removing my other cam plugins, and adding keepalive=30 to my file.

Please help- its becoming a real nuisance!

Many thanks

Oscam is the best cam to use.

Oscam? Took me an absolute age to get mgcamd working! So where do I start with this -any pointers?
To be fair, mgcam had worked fine until recently - is there anything i can do to get it back to like it was before..?

In Softcam settings do you have Mgcamd 1.38 set to AutoStart? Blue Button > Softcam Manager

Yes it's set to autostart - i even changed the refresh interval to 1 min but still no difference

Try cccam and if not read up on oscam section of the forum took me a while to get it but you can tweek oscam a lot to get it running sweetly it's worth it in the end.

I startde with CCCam, then mgcamd, now am on oscam (wish I learnt it sooner), oscam far better than other cams. also ncam works fantastic.

oscam took me about a full whole day to read up, look at forums and setup the files.

Change the following attributes on your mgcamd file as follows:

K: { 10}
N: { 07 } 5 30
G: { 01 }

i'll certainly be looking up on how to move from mgcamd to oscam, when i have a day free. ccam is SO easy though.. wish the others were the same.

@kokojnr

apart from K: the other settings were the same as you suggested. I have changed timeout to 10 so lets see if that helps! oddly enough i never had any issues before updating to 5.0

oscam sound very difficult, but it not. if you read up first and then play around with the config files

When I used to use mgcamd years ago having the L line set to log would cause the cam to lock up so check that and disable logging to see if that improves things?

 

[sponge_bob]

i have disabled logs - hope that sorts things out! thanks for the tip

Could you try MgCamd 1.35A?
That's what I'm using and it's stable.

Could you share your config files? I just can't get stability using mgcamd on this Edision OS mini

Hi all,
Just to add to the weight behind the OP's question, i run a VUduo2 and started to move away from CCCAM about 6 months ago.
I also get MGCAMD stopping and need restarting, or it doesn't automaticaly start on startup though it is selected to do so.
I'm watching this thread with hopefully a solution.

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.

 

[Andy_Hazza]

Absolutely no issues with Oscam here. Must be your config files/setup. I have FBC-Sat tuners and record loads n have no issues.
