MGCAMD not working

[sponge_bob]

Hi

I can't seem to get mgcamd 138 working at all on my box. I did a complete reflash too but still no joy - I've gone back to oscam but i cant stand the glitches so want to go back to mgcamd but when I did try it was just not working at all.

Here's my file btw..

i had issues on all my boxes with powercuts and only way to get it working was to restart boxes.

[sundancer]

Give sbox a go. Its nice and easy set up and works like a dream with Vix. I found it a lot more stable than oscam, although thats just my opinion.

It reads most cards that you throw at it.

Mgcamd wont work no matter. I've tried so many configs so giving up! Oscam works but its really jittery!

@sundancer - could you give me some instructions on how to setup sbox?

Thanks

[malcolmp]

Try ncam or ncam mips.

[sundancer]

Which image bud?

I'm assuming your using VIX.

Unzip the attached file and ftp the file called sBox_0054_7 in usr/softcams and change permissions to 755

Put the rest of the rest of the files into usr/bin

in the sbox.conf file you only need to change the settings in [main] which control webif passwords and listening ports

The only other file you need to change is the users.sbox file. The settings are very similar to how you setup CCCam using N, C & F lines.

If you then go to the blue button you will find sbox in the emu startup settings. It will give you a non standard emu warning on screen when it starts, but it works fine with VIX.

The example config should be pretty much self explanatory if you can get your head around oscam.

@admin, I'm not 100% sure if i'm breaking any rules posting these files up on the forum, if i am can you please remove them and accept my apologies. They are just standard example emu config files, they wont decode anything until setup

[brundlefly]

hi guys, having read the above by the op i too am having difficulty getting mgcamd to work...ive tried the latest vix image with NAR fix on my duo2...thought id try mgcamd1.38, anyways downloaded 1.38 from vix feed....sent over the config files to usr/keys from above , with my details, restarted mgcamd1.38, but nothing is clearing..am i missing something .....? i have oscam working fine but havinhg problem getting this mgcamd1.38 to work..any help..ta....

am i correct in thinking that mgcamd doesnt work on vix images anyymore ?

same here spent ages with different configs, just doesnt work....oscam is really slow to change channels, delays of around 4 or 5 secs

[john doe]

oscam is the way to go. works great.

[Giveusalook]

Hi, I believe I have the same issue as from this morning I can't get any channels to come on at all. I've done a satalite scan with zero results for channels. There's no program listings available as they just show blank.
There's no ftv channels or any through the mgcamd.1.38 ?

I've never had this problem before ! I do appogise if I'm in the wrong forum

Any advice

[widar]

Same for me after update, i did put in the mgconfig again, did not restore that one.

[Giveusalook]

I've got everything back up and running.

I tried the restart but was no good so I closed the system down and then switched it off at the Back,unplugged it from the mains.
Restarted and then done a satalite scan which came back with 900 + channels

All working now, but I have no idea what caused this problem

so you got mgcamd working ?..did you download from the vix feeds ? can you upload your config files so i can try ? cheers

[brundlefly]

think my config must not be right..

[brundlefly]

tried above config but still not working...humbug !

[icemen]

Can any1 confirm mgcamd working on new image b4 i upgrade thanks ;-)

[spanner123]

Can any1 confirm mgcamd working on new image b4 i upgrade thanks ;-)

Mgcamd working on my solo2 and has done with all updates.

[widar]

Mgcamd working on my solo2, updated with 5.1.002

[spanner123]

Here is my config file if anyone wants to try it:

[PhilipM3]

Mgcamd working on my Mutant HD2400 with Openvix 5.1.002.
It didn't initially so I checked ABM config files were up to date and did a fresh ABM scan.
Again it didn't seem to be working at first but after many seconds did.
Did a test of while recording one channel then trying to view another. Again it took ages to work but did.

[crx]

I changed to oscam while there was sound issues but it didnt seem to work the best, updated everything last night and back to mgcam 1.38 and all seems good!!

[salah100]

Double post

[salah100]

oscam is the way to go. works great.No glitching / freezing or delay in clearing?

[sundancer]

As far as i was aware MGCamd cant read cards without the use of a reader like Oscam or Newcs so there stands a very good chance that the ecm source is the issue of your glitching. Put crap in you get crap out.

I think if you take this any further you will breaching forum rules so there's not much point in taking this thread any further.
