Which image build are you using?
Where did you get you cam from?
Best way to start fresh is to flash an image?

What cam (and version) did you install from the plugin feeds?

On my Solo2, I use MGCamD 1.38 (I believe is latest version from feeds) and don't have this issue running latest build 109 (fresh usb flash without settings restore).

It was cccam (2.3.0-r2

It was cccam (2.3.0-r2

I haven't tried that so can't comment but I do know there were some cccam changes in very recent builds.

Have you tried uninstalling the cccam plugin, restarting box and installing it again? Or, alternatively, using MgCamD?

 

[cruachan]

Yes tried uninstalling .. factory reset etc but still there.. looks like I should re flash, just having a look at the guide.. still trying to figure out how to drop line in as well, I have very limited knowledge of ftp

can you say if you install an ipk file as a number of old tuts say to do this,new builds has it in the image and if people download it may screw settings up.its not needed on new builds.

i use filezilla to ftp to box others may use dcc/dreambox control center

 

[bbbuk]

For FTP client, I use FileZilla.

If you want to give MGCamD a try, attached is config file for MGCamD. FTP it to /usr/Keys. You just need to add your line.

Due to forum rules, we're prohibited from going into detail with regards to lines. Limited to only getting softcam working I believe.

If need be you can turn off the softcam check but this should only be as a last resort because without it if your cam freezes or becomes none responsive the image will not know to restart it (thats what the softcam check does), until you restart it manually.

To disable blue button> Softcam manager> Menu> Enable frozen check> NO (default is yes so only do this as a last resort)
