This article describes how to build and configure oscam.

Note that this oscam configuration is configured to work with Ziggo as provider.
It might work with other providers, but that needs to be confirmed.

Make sure you have cmake and subversion installed, these are required for checking out and building oscam.

Create a user for oscam and add it to the uucp group

useradd oscam -s /sbin/nologin -m -d /opt/oscam/
gpasswd -a oscam uucp

create the required directories

mkdir /opt/oscam/src/

Now we need to checkout the oscam source code using SVN

svn co http://streamboard.gmc.to/svn/oscam /opt/oscam/src/

Now we need to configure oscam

cd /opt/oscam/src/trunk
./config.sh

This is my configuration

Addons:
  [*] WEBIF
  [*] HAVE_DVBAPI
  [*] IRDETO_GUESSING
  [*] CS_ANTICASC
  [*] WITH_DEBUG
  [ ] CS_WITH_DOUBLECHECK
  [*] CS_LED
  [*] CS_LOGHISTORY

Protocols:
  [*] MODULE_CAMD33
  [*] MODULE_CAMD35
  [*] MODULE_CAMD35_TCP
  [*] MODULE_NEWCAMD
  [*] MODULE_CCCAM
  [*] MODULE_RADEGAST
  [*] MODULE_SERIAL
  [*] MODULE_MONITOR
  [*] MODULE_CONSTCW

Reader:
  [*] READER_NAGRA
  [*] READER_IRDETO
  [*] READER_CONAX
  [*] READER_CRYPTWORKS
  [*] READER_SECA
  [*] READER_VIACCESS
  [*] READER_VIDEOGARD
  [*] READER_DRE
  [*] READER_TONGFANG

Now compile oscam

make

After oscam is built you should have a file like 'oscam-1.00-unstable_svnxxxx-i686-pc-linux' in /opt/oscam/src/Distribution/.
We need to copy this file to an alternate location

cd /opt/oscam/src/Distribution/
cp ./oscam-* /opt/oscam/oscam.bin

Ok, the binaries are installed :)
Now we need to configure oscam first create the configuration directories

mkdir -p /opt/oscam/etc/
mkdir -p /opt/oscam/etc/cw/

Note: /opt/oscam/etc/cw/ is used for caching keys.

Now, create oscam.conf in /opt/oscam/etc/oscam.conf

Note: replace example CAID with your own CAID (e.g. 0602)

Now create oscam.user in /opt/oscam/etc/oscam.user

[account]
user = tvheadend
pwd = tvheadend
uniq = 0
group = 1

Ok, if everything is configured correctly we can test the oscam installation

/opt/oscam/oscam.bin -c /opt/oscam/etc/& touch /opt/oscam/oscam.log ; tail -f /opt/oscam/oscam.log ; killall oscam.bin

this should create some output like this

Oscam is now running on serverip:15050.
Open your tvheadend web interface.
Go to Configuration and click Code Word Client
Click Add Entry
Doubleclick 'hostname' type your server ip or hostname that is runnin oscam.
Doubleclick 'port' type the port number (if you made no changes to config files it should be 15050).
Doubleclick 'username' type the username as configured in oscam.user.
Doubleclick 'password' type the password as configured in oscam.user.
Doubleclick 'DES key' here you can insert your DES key. If you haven't changed it in oscam.conf (you should!) then this should be: 01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:10:11:12:13:14
Check 'Update Card'
Now check Enabled and click 'Save Changes'

When you click Save Changes you will see something like this in the system logs

Mar 24 20:55:38 cwc: 10.2.0.2: Connected as user 0x0x to a Irdeto-card [0x0604 : xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx] with 5 providers

Mar 24 20:55:38 cwc: 10.2.0.2: Provider ID #5: 0x000004 xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
Mar 24 20:55:38 cwc: 10.2.0.2: Will forward EMMs

Ok tvheadend is now connected to oscam and is able to descramble channels that your card gives you access to.
Now to kill oscam press ctrl+c in the console.

Now you need to change the owner and group of /opt/oscam to oscam (because you should run oscam as a unprivileged user)

chown -R oscam:oscam /opt/oscam
