If you put the start-up script in rcS.d you've hastened (not delayed) the start-up, as they get run first at boot time.Originally Posted by BefuddledBrian

How does softcam manager arrange for oscam to auto start?
Last edited by BrokenUnusableAccount; 23-08-21 at 02:37.
This is incorrect.
Something even more bizarre is happening.
If oscam is started up at boot time then clicking on "OSCam Webinterace" in OpenWebif takes you to <ipaddress>:83 instead of <ipaddress>:8888 and somehow <ipaddress>:83 presents what looks exactly like an OSCam Webinterface but with no readers present!!
Once you restart oscam from the softcam manager OpenWebif will correctly send you to <ipaddress>:8888 when you click on "OSCam Webinterace"!!
If you manually go to <ipaddress>:8888 after booting you get a correct OSCam Webinterace with readers but, for me at least, oscam is not decrypting FTV channels.
Its entered at E2 Startup where plugins can take some initialisation actions, like Autostart the softcam

Are you starting multiple instances of Oscam? I've seen similar when oscam is running and I manually start a different version
Ah ha!
It looks to me like something is starting oscam up with this command line:
which seems to be wrong and not work.Code:/usr/softcams/oscam-latest --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-latest --daemon --pidfile /var/tmp/oscam-latest.pid --restart 2 --utf8 2
The oscam that works is just started up with this line:
Code:/usr/softcams/oscam-latest -b
Is that config directory correct? if it's looking in the wrong folder then it won't find the config for the reader. If you have that folder, have you tried deleting it or as a workaround, putting your configs in there as well as the usual /etc/tuxbox/config
Have you added something to start oscam with those settings?
Maybe it's coming from here... https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...l=1#post515195
Softcam binaries should only be in /usr/softcams on an openvix system. Configs go in /etc/tuxbox/config. You must have installed some oscam version that was not in the feeds. Its best to stick with those.
Edit: ccs has probably found the issue. No problems with oscam on my H7 btw

Openatv scripts use /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-name possibly used there script
So :!
Late last week, I added the scripts used by OpenPli/OpenATV to the softcam builds for OScam/CCcam.(which I have been testing for the last 4 -5 weeks)
I didn't expect users to see any difference, but obviously BefuddledBrian has both in use as this
is from the Softcam script code which has been in Py3 for a few weeksCode:/usr/softcams/oscam-latest --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-latest --daemon --pidfile /var/tmp/oscam-latest.pid --restart 2 --utf8 2
- so please follow instructions below.
This means that you can run the Oscam binary in usr/softcams from either
1) SoftcamManager as has been done for ever. (but see last note)
2) you can disable SoftcamManager (no autostart, stop the OScam, turn off in Menu options detect freeze) and in menu/setup/softcam ---> Softcam script Setup ---> select the softcam e.g. Oscam-latest ALSO you must install the softcam configs in etc/tuxbox/config/camname where camname in this case will be Oscam-latest.
3) run your own scripts.
If you are running SoftcamManager just make sure that in menu/setup/softcam ---> Softcam script Setup----> Select Softcam is set to None
I happen to now use the script technique because I get virtually instantaneous picture on my 27.5W services at startup compared to SoftcamManager (which does offer far more options)
So apologies to everyone for the confusion - I just didn't expect anyone to run into this situation until an information update was issued - following more testing to ensure the softcam build change had been implemented OK!

At least for me, the oscam that automatically starts running if you have installed oscam-latest from the feeds and runs (without you even touching softcam manager) with this command line:
Is completely non functional and also stops any oscam subsequently started by Softcam manager's autostartup from working.Code:/usr/softcams/oscam-latest --config-dir /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-latest --daemon --pidfile /var/tmp/oscam-latest.pid --restart 2 --utf8 2

Have you checked here menu/setup/softcam ---> Softcam script Setup - if not do so and set to none. Reboot.

Setting that new menu to "None" fixes it but I didn't know it even existed until a few minutes ago and it appears to default to "oscam-latest" which breaks oscam.
(I guess it breaks it because the configuration files are in the wrong place)
Hopefully if you read post #686 above, it will be a little clearer, Using the script system above it lists the installed softcams and coupled to config files with the same name, means you can flip between different softcams very easily. Therefore the start command is specific to a softcam and its config file.
