    Use Oscam-latest from feeds. Once you’ve transferred your config files to the relevant config folder via ftp, reboot your receiver then go into; Blue button > Softcam manager and start your cam/auto start cam etc.

    From the plugins, you just need to download Oscam-latest

    Have you rebooted your receiver, then activated your cam?

    Maybe the OP could clarify what image he is using. On Openvix it is as simple as Andy Hazza has outlined (oscam latest) and put the configs in /etc/tuxbox/config/

    On other images it may be different and configs may be placed elsewhere

    Yeah, all I can think of is he’s not using ViX.

    The config locations are defined here

    Code:
    http://www.streamboard.tv/svn/oscam/trunk/Distribution/doc/txt/oscam.txt

    Code:
           -c|--config-dir <directory>
          read    configuration  from  <directory>,  default:see    CS_CONFDIR  in globals.h, while starting OSCam prints warnings on
          invalid keywords, comment lines start with # character.
    
          Autodiscover of the following directories will be done:
    
    
          ·  /etc/tuxbox/config
    
          ·  /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam
    
          ·  /config/oscam
    
          ·  /usr/keys
    
          ·  /var/etc
    
          ·  /var/etc/oscam
    
          ·  /var/keys
    
          ·  /var/oscam
    
          ·  /var/tuxbox/config
    Until we tweak softcam manager, please use /etc/tuxbox/config/

    We added the second location listed above, but looks like it needs tweaking

    Code:

    I have sorted it out, I had no joy with oscam latest so had to install oscam emu 11392 then replaced config files.
    PS I have openvix image pre-loaded from wos.
    Many thanks to all who gave me advise and help
