Using multiple soft-CAMs

[wolfg]

On my system I am using two CAMs, CCcamd and Mgcam, for two different services, and the receiver only works with using one CAM ? active at a time. Can anyone suggest if it's possible to have these two services running simultaneously or getting one CAM to point to the other thus saving me from having to start the required CAM manually each time I swap services. Sorry if this question seems somewhat lame but I'm relatively new to this.
Cheers

It's obvious that you're using CS and that's not allowed on this forum.

You can only presume that he is using CS, nothing in his post actually suggested that he his!! Unless he states CS, then it's a fair enough question to ask.

In answer to your question, I have asked something similar before and Phoenix told me that you can run 2 cams at the same time, how this works unfortunately I don't have that answer as I only use the one.

Oscam would probably be the best solution, but it has quite a steep learning curve.

You can only have one CAM active at any one time.

So please correct me if I'm wrong but Oscam is a cam and then their is cccam 2.3.0 which is also a cam? When I was looking into setting up Oscam (which I failed miserably) I remember reading that you use cccam within Oscam which would both be active at the same time??

Newer oscam have cccam and newcamd built in, no need to run seperate cccam, and yes you can run both protocols at once, but I can't think of a reason you would need both at the same time with your own card...

You can actually run more then one soft-CAM. The CAMs will be started in the same order as you originally started them (when setting them up).
The configs of the CAM will need to specify which service should be decrypted by which CAM.

Black Hole Image allows you to select a cam for a specific provider via the autocam fuction

Yeah, BH is great :thumbsup:

But isn't that solely for a CAM?

Autocam, hmmmm

You can set it to change per channel if you wish, i.e mgcamd for channel 144, oscam for 145, cccam for 146, scam for 1100 as an example.

Yeah, BH is great :thumbsup:

Agreed Rob

Thanks guys for the comments, with regards to Walt "What happened to presumed Innocent" but for the other more helpful comments seems I need to bone up on OSCAM

Too many saying service and meaning server. Oscam is a great cam to use. Enjoy.

It looks like you cracked it mate, don't suppose you could write up a super easy to follow guide could you please ?

 

[DaMacFunkin]

Depends on what you want the guide to do, most people want it to do the dark illegal stuff, I too tried it many times and gave up, but then I found a basic working config on here, started with that and via the webif added bits, tried more, and found more, and yes once you start to get more advanced you can specify which individual channels are sent to which of your cards.

 

[wolfg]

OK so I'm convinced OSCAM is the way to go. Next question could someone point me in the direction of an idiots guide to OSCAM.
Would be most grateful. Or is it just a question of troll the interweb
