Re. MGcamd's bug:
When I initially tried setting it up, I read carefully all the settings in cfg files. Some are illogical, to say the least.
But I was told not to change anything, as "it works". It does work in AZbox HD, "as is", as it comes from the Azboxworld server. Better than any other camd/CS SW, in my experience.
Not without flaws but very good!
Here is some insight from Minicat [thanx a bunch for suggestions, from my discussion with her!!!] about some problems with MGcamd, admittedly without her having AZbox HD to check in detail in the AZbox HD itself [which I pointed out to her, of course] but made in good faith and from a lot of experience in working with MGcamd itself, albeit on different platforms:
Firstly, a warning [my small edits/'linguistic corrections but only where really needed, to make it more readable]:
Same entries are needed on ppc-System, mips-Systems, stapi and sh4 and all other existing or future versions. This has only to do with the internal working (and also bugs) from MGcamd
Then, from her experience, studying and testing of MGcamd...
1) This will not work correct for
premiere abo cards (lokal) if you
priority.list is wrong!
2)
RAI don't work with this archive, 'cause
a correct replace.list is missing
3) If
AzBox HD comes also with a
cable box, you also need
mappings for german cable and scce-files for swiss cable (AU)
4)
peer.cfg missed X, so it will make a lot of useless traffic [I told her that X is in another file -> in the
priority.list]
5) Another bug: You
can't get all biss-keys to work. Not from redbull, not from me. But different channels open with the SAME Keys inside. If you have two channels with same id, e.g. 0001FFFF (10 times included) only the first entry work, the others not. This is a very old, known problem
Only
a new keyfile format for BISS can correct this. In the last time, more and more BISS keys coming out and MGcamd can't handle them correctly.
6) [Now, these are
general suggestions, THESE ARE NOT THE VALUES FOR AZBOX HD!!!! As I said, she doesn't have AZbox HD!]

You see the problem from RAI?
AND!!!!!! VERY, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT: German cable providers means also KDH (Kabel Digital Home) coming from Astra 23,5, all channels coded in DVB-S2 and AzBox HD is a DVB-S2 box. And the absolutly special clue: KDH working on keys (Nagra2). You can take redbull301 or my [Minicat's] files, both working, tested
Without this changes the german users here can't view these channels (don't work or will be black after some time)
The fix for RaiTV map the keys for all 4 rai channels (Rai 1 to Rai 4 from top to down). To port MGcamd from ppc/mips to other platforms there are three persons needed in the past. I have worked on port to stapi/sh4
the ignore.list is only needed, if a caid from share collide with another
the replace.list is needed to change caids/pids and so on to another!
Without these entries the files from redbull301 don't open RAI (my files same problem). In all other softcams the entry for 0202 is missing. 'Cause a bug in MGcamd this is needed for RAI (all other camd 02E2)
The priority list is for german (and special entry for Mct, thx to the autor of MGcamd). It also works on every other provider but here it could be, that more entries are needed. I can't test, no cards
Without GBox-share (and this must the default) you must change your config
G: { 00 }
P: { 00 }
share is now disabled!
a special entry in my file (not actual for AzBox, you must add the correct line is this:
small part of mg_cfg:
# on screen display type
# 00 No OSD (default)
# 01 neutrino
# 02 enigma
# 03 relook
# + user password for http auth
# Neutrino:
#O: { 01 } root dbox2
# Enigma:
#O: { 02 } root dbox2
# Dreambox:
#O: { 02 } root dreambox
# Kein OSD:
O: { 00 } root dbox2
One of my questions, for instance:
# config files folder (softcam, autoroll, ignore/priority)
# 00 files in /var/keys
# 01 files in /tmp
T: { 00 } - this is wrong for AZbox HD isn't it? But it works! I mean, AZbox HD doesn't have var/keys folder. But it does have /tmp one. However, all the files go to the same folder. All of them. It's just not seen here as /OpenXCAS/mgcamd, that's all...
So, Minicat said:
T: { 00 } is correct.. only if you also have another camd that uses the same keyfilenames you can set here an alternative path for files... if you set 01 you MUST copy the keyfiles to /tmp before starting the camd
As for
P line...
# network shares priority
# 00 gbox, newcamd, radegast, camd3 (default)
# 01 camd3, radegast, newcamd, gbox
# 02 newcamd, camd3, gbox, radegast
P: { 00 }
This is her explanation for other platforms:
00 means: Looking for gbox, no success, locking für newcamd, radegast and then camd3
01 check first camd3 and then the others, last checked gbox
02 newcamd first, last radegast
to get it work correctly with gbox (share first, then smartcard), use 00, if you prefer smartcards from NewCS take 02
01 is best for DBox2, to use camd3 or radegast or newcamd for smartcards first, then gbox
Hope it helps! Hope the author of MGcamd reads this...
