    Mgcamd needs to be restarted

    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

    Mgcamd needs to be restarted

    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

    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?

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