CCcam howto (i'm lost)
Added by Will Plaice about 12 years ago
Hi Guys, sorry to ask what is hopefully a well known question.. I have a cccam cline i need to use for descrambling, and i understand that i need to use oscam as proxy, but is there anywhere a simple step by step for this..
TVHeadend is way faster than my Windows setup
thanks in advance !
regards, Will

Ok this is how I installed Oscam:
Install tools apt-get install apt-utils dialog usbutils gcc g++ wget build-essential subversion libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev libssl-dev cmake make libusb-1.0-0-dev nano Get oscam source cd /usr/src svn checkout http://www.streamboard.tv/svn/oscam/trunk oscam-svn Configure, build and install oscam cd oscam-svn Configure options make config Compile Oscam make OSCAM_BIN=./build/oscam Copy Oscam to destination and set permissions cp /usr/src/oscam-svn/build/oscam /var/local/oscam chmod 755 /var/local/oscam Copy example config file cp /usr/src/oscam-svn/Distribution/doc/example/oscam.conf /usr/local/etc/ Edit the config file and enable webif nano /usr/local/etc/oscam.conf This is what my file looks like: #################### # # main configuration [global] logfile = /var/log/oscam/oscam.log pidfile = /var/run/oscam.pid disableuserfile = 0 nice = 20 maxlogsize = 10240 cacheexenablestats = 1 usrfile = /var/log/oscam/oscamuser.log cwlogdir = /var/log/oscam/cw/ emmlogdir = /var/log/oscam/emm/ ecmfmt = c:s/w # logging logfile = /var/log/oscam/oscam.log usrfile = /var/log/oscam/oscamuser.log cwlogdir = /var/log/oscam/cw # monitor [monitor] port = 988 aulow = 120 monlevel = 1 # web interface [webif] httpport = 8888 httpuser = xxxxx httppwd = xxxxx httpallowed = 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.0-192.168.1.255 #################### Make sure to change httpuser,httppwd to a username and password to your liking and httpallowed the the ip's you want to give access the the webif. We want to start oscam on boot so create a init script nano /etc/init.d/oscam (add everything between the two ==== lines in this file: ================= #! /bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: Oscam # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Oscam init script # Description: Launch oscam at startup ### END INIT INFO DAEMON=/var/local/oscam DEAMON_OPTS="-b -r 2" PIDFILE=/var/run/oscam.pid test -x ${DAEMON} || exit 0 . /lib/lsb/init-functions case "$1" in start) log_daemon_msg "Starting OScam" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet –user- --background --pidfile ${PIDFILE} --make-pidfile --exec ${DAEMON} -- ${DAEMON_OPTS} log_end_msg $? ;; stop) log_daemon_msg "Stopping OScam" start-stop-daemon --stop --exec ${DAEMON} log_end_msg $? ;; force-reload|restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/oscam {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 ================= Set the permissions chmod 755 /etc/init.d/oscam Make the init file actually start on boot update-rc.d oscam defaults Create files and directories for oscam and set permissions (these are defined in the config file so if you change them there make sure to change the location of where you create these files aswell. mkdir /var/log/oscam touch /var/log/oscam/oscam.log chmod 755 /var/log/oscam/oscam.log touch /var/log/oscam/oscamuser.log chmod 755 /var/log/oscam/oscamuser.log mkdir /var/log/oscam/cw chmod 755 /var/log/oscam/cw Start oscam /etc/init.d/oscam start
Now point your browser to http://ip-of-your-oscam-server:8888/ login, configure newcamd, add a user and add a reader (your cccam server). Finally configure TVheadend to connect to Oscam and you should be able to start watching encrypted TV channels.
p.s. im on debian and logged in as root for this. If your under ubuntu you might need to use sudo infront of some of the commands in this guide.

Great guide Franklyn - could you provide a bit more guidance about the newcamd, user and reader configs ?
I think there are a couple of typos as well :
Instead of : chmod 755 /var/local oscam
I think you need chmod 755 /var/local/oscam
and instead of : nano /etc/init.d/osam
I think you need nano /etc/init.d/oscam
Thanks again though - really useful.
I have a CCCAM share from a card in my DM800 that I'd like to use within TV Headend, and I think Oscam is the key.

Yeh your right those where typos indeed. Thanks for the headsup. I have edited my post so it should be ok now.
As far as I know there is no way to let tvheadened communicate directly to cccam. So it will need to go like: tvheadend – Oscam – CCcam.
First off make a f-line in your cccam config for Oscam.
Connect Oscam to CCcam
In oscam go to
Reader
At the bottom fill in the name of your reader and click the "Add" button next to it.
Fill in these fields:
Description:
Enable: Tick it to make this reader active
Device: Fill in the ip address of you dreambox followed by a comma and then the port. Example 192.168.1.100,18500
Group: Just fill in any number here. Example: 1
CAID: Fill in the CAID of the providers the cccam server will be handling. Add a comma in between multiple CAID's. Example: 0100,0604,0B00 (These are my providers and unless you’re in the Netherlands like me, these are not gonna work for you. So don't just copy this.)
User: The user name you made for oscam in your cccam config.
Password: Password for the above user.
Hit "Save"
Make a User for Tvheadend in Oscam
Go to Users
Click the “Add User” link on the top
On the bottom a new input field will appear. Fill in the user name here and click the “Add User” button next to it.
Fill in these fields:
Password
Description
Disabled – Change to “No”
Group - Add the user to the same group(s) as the reader is in. ("1" in our example)
Hit "Save"
Both the configuration for user and reader have loads more options. You can play around if you like. For more info just click the parameter name and it will take you to the Oscam wiki and the appropriate article for that parameter. Note that the above options should be enough to get it working so just try to get it working first before you go crazy with all the options.
Configure Newcamd in Oscam
Go to Configuration and then Newcamd.
Fill in these fields:
Port:
Syntax: port@caid:ident
Every CAID needs to have a separate port. So in my case I will need to make 3 ports for Newcamd, one for 0100, one for 0B00 and one for 0604.
You can pick any free port. Keep in mind that ports between 0 through 1023 are used by most well-known services so don’t use these, use anything between 1024 and 65535. I use 15000 and up for Newcamd.
Adding a port for CAID 0604 would look like: 15000@0604:000000. Where 15000 is the port, 0604 the CAID and 000000 the ident. (Don’t bother about the ident just fill in 000000 there)
Multiple entries are separated by an semicolon. So for me this is what is in the ports field: 15000@0604:000000;15001@0B00:000000;15002@0100:000000
Key: Fill in any 28 digit number you like. This DES key will be used for Newcamd client encryption. Example: 0102030405060708091011121314
Allowed: This one doesn’t need to be specified. But here you can enter ip’s that you want to allow to connect to Oscam via Newcamd on the above specified ports. If you leave this empty all address will be allowed to connect.
Hit "Save"
You are all done now in Oscam. Just go to shutdown and click restart to make the changes for Newcamd active. After this Oscam should be ready. Check the status page to be sure that Oscam is connected to your cccam server. The connection should appear under proxies.
Connect TVheadend to Oscam
Go to TVheadend -> Configuration -> Code Word Client.
Click “Add Entry”
Fill in these fields:
Hostname: Fill in the ip address of your Oscam server
Port: The Newcamd port you made in Oscam. So in my example: 15000, 15001 or 15002
Username and Password: The ones you made in Oscam under Users.
DES key: The 28 digit number you specified in the Newcamd configuration. In the example case: 0102030405060708091011121314.
Click “Save Entry”
If you done everything right TVheadend should connect to Oscam. And it should be able to decode any encrypted channel your cccam server can provide the keys for.

Thanks Franklyn, Worked a treat
