Hello

I was trying to replace oscam but it wont autostart.

Oscam from feed starting without problem but for my card I need custom oscam to work.

Found this post saying that

"OpenViX image doesn`t use a start script.
Just send oscam for arm based images to /usr/softcams > change permissions to 755 on the oscam > reboot.
Start oscam via blue button > softcam manager"

I did put my custom oscam to /usr/softcams changed the name to oscam-latest , changed permisions to 755 and did reboot.
After reboot oscam wont start , but when I use telnet, go to /usr/softcams and type oscam-latest -V then it starts and working till next reboot.

Another thing I noticed is when I put custom oscam to usr/softcams and press blue button / softcam manager then where active softcams should be showing is this information : Wait please while scanning for softcam's... but it never find anything.

When I press green button to start oscam, debug log shows this:

Is there any way to use custom oscam on openvix ?

I think there was another post over a year ago, there is a limit on the binary size, the ulimit value in your logs. once you alter that it should work. Have a search for posts by Lincsat

I suppose you don't want to go into too much detail, but do we need to increase the limit?

Am not sure if I understand You very well , limit on binary size You mean size of oscam file ?
The one from feed is actually larger 1194 KB
The one I try to use is 730 KB
oscam-cycec11581-arm-ssl-libusb this one am trying to use

Thank You

I was trying to follow Lincast method from this post https://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?60830-Oscam&p=483611&viewfull=1#post483611 but I must do something wrong .

I used Easy-Python-Decompiler-v1.3.2 to decompile SoftcamManager.pyo
Then used Notepad++ to edit ulimit -s 512 to ulimit -s 1024 , saved changes , copied file back to Tm4K , changed attributes to 755 and rebooted the enigma2.
After reboot / blue button - and softcam manager is not anymore there .
What am I doing wrong ? I think I should compile SoftcamManager.pyo back to how it was before but I have no knowledge how to do this .

Can I ask you to increase the limit ? I dont think so I will be able to do it myself .
Thank You

Looks like we have an issue with 0.98. Solo 4k had same problem. All it is is a symlink installer.
Also have same error

Attached is the file for 038. Please update to 038 before transferring this file otherwise you may get a crash because of the screen code improvements. Transfer to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/ViX

Just for reference you did not need to decompile it, you could have got it directly from github.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenViX/vix-core/master/src/SoftcamManager.py

It looks like this file solving my problem , I can autostart and change softcams without problem now.
One more thing , the new SoftcamManager.py is .py the old one is .pyo should I delete it or just leave it ?

Thank You very much

Libcrypto is not shipped, it's just symlinks. See this post for what you need to do
https://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?60830-Oscam&p=484776&viewfull=1#post484776

Can you upload the softcam you are trying please?

Sorry for post under post but cant edit the previous ones .
I forgot to mention I used this command : ln -sf libcrypto.so.1.0.2 libcrypto.so.0.9.8 at the same time while added SoftcamManager.py file.

Thank You

When you restart, .py makes new .pyo Please delete .py file

I found that adding the symlink was necessary for some builds of OScam, so I started compiling that myself to get the correct dependancies

Hello
Today I updated to - openvix: release 5.3.039 and Softcam manager not starting oscam .

Then I copy and paste SoftcamManager.py provided by abu baniaz ,restatred box and softcam manager starting oscam.
this is debug log :

In Main menu / information / about / Vix Core i get information
19/07/20 openvix release 5.3.039
20/07/20 Softcam manager Increase ulimit to 1024

Is that ulimit increased in 5.3.039 or it mean it will be increased in next update ? sorry for silly question

Thank You
