Best way to connect to OSCam

Added by Josu Lazkano almost 7 years ago

Hello,

I have Tvheadend server running with some encrypted DVB-S2 channels. I want to configure a OSCam server in my LAN to decrypt thoose channels.

Which is the best way to connect to OSCam? Install on a differente server and connect with newcamd? Or configure in the same server and connect with DVBAPI?

I will really appreciate your help.

Kind regards.

From the docs ([[http://docs.tvheadend.org/webui/config_caclient/]]

Preferred way is to use CAPMT ( DVBAPI ) and you can use the "OSCam net protocol (rev >= 10389)" then you can connect via network to local or remote box. Just set "Camd.socket filename / IP Address (TCP mode):" to the IP address (127.0.0.1 or remote address) and set the port. Then make sure oscam is set to use the same port.

For oscam/oscam-emu:

The following lines are required in [dvbapi] section of oscam.conf file:

boxtype = pc
 pmt_mode = 4
 listen_port = 9000 # or your preferred port
