In Plugins section you have "Download plugins" > softcams > and there you will see Oscam plugin. Its called latest like Andy_Hazza mentioned. Please note that you will need "load" for oscams, so you need to ftp correct files (oscam.config, oscam.server) into correct location, and then start (restart) oscam service in menu.

oscam-latest = version defined in bitbake file used by us. It does not mean the latest available oscam. Sometimes issues arise so we don't always use the "latest" version.

I understand that some builds do not work properly but I've tried a few versions of OScam with EMU that the softcam manager will not start but they do start and run fine from the command line using ./oscam

What is the command used in the softcam manager to start the cam and any idea why it won't work with some builds?

I can attach one of the builds I'm trying if required

You don't issue commands
I assume you are going blue button -> Softcam Manager -> select the Oscam you want in Select box -> green button (Start) and usually Blue buttons -> Enable at Startup

That is correct, pressing start does nothing but use the command line and it starts.

I have tried on 2 different boxes and have attached the build of OScam if you want to try

As an update. I've decompiled the SoftcamManager.pyo file and removed the ulimit -s 512; from the startselected softcam for oscam on line 368 and it now starts the cam OK.

I've no idea what the ulimit -s 512 does or if it's necessary for something else but is it something that can be removed safely in future?

Hi,
just for information: no need to decompyle. Install vix-src and you will have the source.

I decompiled SoftcamManager.pyo with the Easy Pythoin decompiler

I have now found that if ulimit -s 512 is changed to ulimit -s 1024, then that works as well. I'm guessing it's the amount of RAM that the process can use and it needs more than 512K

For what SOC architecture is this file?

the oscam you download sometimes needs still to be activated by attribute setting to 755 !!!

There is quite a long thread about this problem on another forum. Basically libcrypto 0.9.8 is required and can be ftp'd to usr/lib and attribute 755. Then oscam will start.
