Thread: Oscam Cache

As per title , I have seen in the newer versions of Oscam that configs now mention cache

Does anyone know how this works ??
How efficient is the cache ??
Does this work in the same way as CSP ??

I would be interested in your findings, has it improved the way oscam works for you ?, has it slowed down the system resulting in disabling this feature ?, or is it continually getting better with each new version released ?

Please Post what you think of this feature Good, Bad, or merely a Gimmick ???

To make OScam more effective, some people call this stealing, I call it effective sharing as you ignore what ever reshare your peers set.

Waarom zou je iemand willen beperken als je kaart toch verborgen is?

OScam heel anders CCcam, het is een proxy dat kan kletsen via vele protocolen.
And the actual cam is the DVB-API module, even your own card-reader is gezien als een peer en werkt ook als zodanig.
Het heeft dus geen zin achter kaarten te zoeken, want hij laat toch geen verbindingen zien.
Voor de CCcam mensen kan je alle kaarten apart laten zien, maar dit is eigenlijk zinloos.
Vandaar dat ik er zelf voor kies de kaarten te sorteren op CAID en als zodanig lijken ze allemaal op HOP1 te staan met de reshare die ik wil, maar dit is enkel om CCcam te plezieren want OScam zelf doet hier niet aan tenzij je zelf de peers beperkt op hoe diep je kaarten wilt halen.

Hoe doe je dit? Wel zo:

oscam.conf

Code:

[cccam]
port                          = 12000
reshare                       = 2
ignorereshare                 = 1
version                       = 2.1.4
minimizecards                 = 2
stealth                       = 1
nodeid                        = AAABBBCCCDDDEEEE
reshare_mode                  = 1

Reshare zet je op 2 en ignorereshare op 1, dus geeft je iedereen 1 extra reshare en je ignored wat de peer geeft aan reshare.
Heel simpel JIJ bepaald hier wat er gebeurd, niet de peer waarvan je ze krijgt.
Hier hebben payservers dus een bloedhekel aan
Minimizecards = 2 is heel simpel, alle kaarten komen op hop 1 en enkel gesorteerd op CAID, dus niet op losse kaarten.
Reshare mode = 1 is de reader of user bepaald de aantal reshare als er een CCcam-client aanhangt.

oscam.user

Code:

[account]
user                          = usernaam
pwd                           = paswoord
group                         = 1
cccmaxhops                    = 5
cccreshare                    = 2
cccignorereshare              = 1
cccstealth                    = 0
keepalive                     = 1

Zo maak je een user aan, groep moet hetzelfde zijn als de groepen van de peers, zodat je kaarten kan sharen, zit een kaart in een andere groep dat gaat hij niet door naar de user. Simpel en effectief.
Let wel, de user is systeem-wide!!! Dus als je wilt dat de user enkel CCcam kan doen dan moet je dat opgeven in protocollen want anders mag hij ook bv Newcamd doen.
Lijkt me duidelijk, de user krijgt 5 hops diep, beetje zinloos aangezien we hierboven de kaarten toch op hop 1 gezet hebben
Met cccstealth verberg je je OScam, persoonlijk maal ik er niet om of mensen het zien of niet.
Keepalive is wel zinvol, hiermee houd hij de poort open zodat de cam minder tijd verliest die opnieuw te openen.

oscam.server

Code:

cccreshare                    = 2
audisabled                    = 1

Gebruikte cardreader = Smargo 1.07!!! Waarom 1.07??? Wel daar kan je een "Device-Label" in hangen waardoor OScam de Smargo hekent op naam in plaats van poort.
Erg handing want als je de Smargo wel eens versteekt moet je altijd de Busevice aanpassen, met deze grap moet dat niet meer, en kan enkel met 1.07 firmware.
Als je ook goed opgelet hebt staat de LB_WEIGHT van de smargo op 500 en die van de peer op 50, we willen immers dat de Smargo voorgaat op de peers.

Even voor de duidelijkheid: ccchop = 2
Met deze parameter bepaald je op welke hop je card-reader moet zitten, dus in mijn voorbeeld zit de lokale-kaart op 2 hops, kan me goed voorstellen dat veel mensen hem op hop 0 willen laten zien.

Meer is er niet aan, happy sharing!!!

Wel zijn er veel CCcam peers die het verkeerde beeld van OScam hebben, beter licht je ze gewoon in wat je doet en hoe je het doet, over het algemeen heeft men er geen problemen mee en willen ze het zelf ook doen.

Ik raad je echter wel aan je peers in diepte te beperken want aan kaarten die verder dan 3~4 hops zitten heb je niks, hou je kaart-response beneden de 600msec (peers en local) dan hapert het beeld niet.
OScam geeft dat netjes op de status pagina aan.

Om de local card te updaten kies 1 a 2 bepaalde ontvangers en in hun user-profile zet je bij de user:

oscam.user (ontvanger die moet updaten)

Code:

au                            = smart-tvv,smart-cd

Net hoeveel kaarten geupdate moeten worden, bij alle anderen disable je AU door die aan te vinken in de webinterface.

Hou er wel rekening mee dat OScam vaan van 0 begint te tellen en niet zoals andere cam's van 1.
Dus Sid op 3 = Sid 1,2,3 en 4!! want hij telt: 0,1,2,3 = dus 4 sids.

Thanks Bassie, now i have to find i way to translate this to English.

I started off in English and moved to Dutch halve way down, then I correct myself and put everything in Dutch again

Have fun translating

Dus gaan we nog een stapje verder en filteren alle shit eruit, want ontvangers vragen alles wat mogelijk is, maar willen we dat ook?
Dit doen we door services te gebruiken en we definieren wat er wel door mag, alles wat niet gekend is wordt NIET geshared!

Stap 1:

oscam.conf

Code:

[cccam]
port                          = 12000
reshare                       = 2
ignorereshare                 = 1
version                       = 2.1.4
minimizecards                 = 2
stealth                       = 1
nodeid                        = AAABBBCCCDDDEEEE
reshare_mode                  = 3 # <= belangrijk want dit laat enkel services door die gekend zijn!!

En dan definieren we de services, rommel als 0622, 1816,1817, 1818 en andere troep laten we er niet in.

oscam.services

Er zijn er vast nog wel die je wilt doorlaten, maar hiermee bepaal je wat de ontvanger KAN vragen, dus rotzooi komt er niet door.
Als je nu checked dan kom je op ongeveer 29 kaarten uit!!
Maar die werken WEL!

Veel share plezier!

Do not mess with NodeID, if you do the EXT (=OScam detection) doesn't work anymore.
I just gave a fake ID to see what happens, but if you do, it terminates the extended protocol between OScam <=> OScam.
Don't mess with that line, if you did, just empty it in the webinterface and click safe, it will regenerate a proper one again.

Does anybody know how the CacheeX works? I have played with it, I see a pool being build but nothing leaves from there.

Hi,

I found this

no need to apologise mate we're all learners here . basically i use it in oscam.server like this cacheex = 1 & at the moment it shows CACHE = 255

oscam.server

cacheex = 0|1

1 = enable cache exchange
0 = defaultcache exchange

oscam.user

cacheex = 0|1

1 = enable cache exchange
0 = default

cache exchange must be enabled on local and remote oscam reader . but as i said earlier i don't see any difference mate . hope you can shed some light on it .


I will chance push and pull ???


Dewi

Well I have found out how it works.
You have to set Pull (=1) on your real cardservers, not peers!
And set Pull (=1) on your OScam users, not users that use CCcam.
Them it seems to work, as far as I can see.

BTW I have asked the OScam developers to make a switch to turn CCcam without EXT off...
I hope they implement that to force everybody to OScam.

CCcam is nice for a standalone receiver without share, but for the rest it's crap.

To make OScam more effective, some people call this stealing, I call it effective sharing as you ignore what ever reshare your peers set.


Why limit reshare, this because the card is hidden.

Oscam is a compleet different Emu then CCCam, it's proxy and able to communicatie with many protocols.
And the actual cam is the DVB-API module, even your own card-reader is seen as local and works accordingly.
That's why it has no use to try to find cards, it will not show connections
For the CCcam user you cab show al cards, but this is quite useless.
This is why i choose to sort al cards on Caid, in this way they are all shown on Hop1 with the reshare i shoose. This only to please the CCcam user, this only for CCcam because Oscam ignores this. You can shoose to limit the dept the user can read your reshare.

How to do this,

oscam.conf

Code:

[cccam]
port                          = 12000
reshare                       = 2
ignorereshare                 = 1
version                       = 2.1.4
minimizecards                 = 2
stealth                       = 1
nodeid                        = AAABBBCCCDDDEEEE
reshare_mode                  = 1

Set the reshare to 2 and ingnorereshare to 1, now you give 1 more reshare ignore the reshare given by the peer.
It shows that you decite what reshare you give, not what you receive from the peer
This is exactly the thing payservers hate
Minimizecards = 2 easy, all cards on hop1 and filtered on Caid (not on all cards separate)
Reshare mode = 1 The reshare you want to give to a CCcam-client.

oscam.user

Code:

[account]
user                          = usernaam
pwd                           = paswoord
group                         = 1
cccmaxhops                    = 5
cccreshare                    = 2
cccignorereshare              = 1
cccstealth                    = 0
keepalive                     = 1

In this way you make a user, the group must be the same as the groups made in the peers, this is needed to share the cards.
Is the card in another group, then it will not be shared to the user. Simpel but effective
Take note, the user is system-wide!!!So if you want that the user is only able to use CCcam, you must set this in the protocols.
If not, he can use Newcamd or other Emu's.
Seems clear to me, the user get's 5 hops deep, a bitt useless because we already set the cards to hop1.
With cccstealth you can hide the fact you are using Oscam, i think this is useless i dont care if they see i use Oscam (or not)
Keepalive is usefull, with this you keep the portal open to make sure the cam doesn't lose time opening it again.

Used cardreader = Smargo smartreader V 1.07 !!!Why 1.07 ?? Now you can use the function "Device-Label" just give the Smargo a fitting name and Oscam will reconnice the reader by name and not by port.
Very usefull because if you need to switch the Smargo on USB connection you always need to adjust the Busevice, with this firmware this is not needed anymore. (only possible with v 1.07)
Also shown my setting for the LB_WEIGHT of the Smargo set to 500, the peers are set to 50. This because we want to see you local card before the other servers.

Just to make it clear: ccchop = 2
With this parameter you determine on withs hop you want to sett your local reader, in my setup the local is shown on hop2.
Many would want to show the card on hop0 (shown as local in CCcam)


Thats all folks , happy sharing!!!

The problem is that there are a lott of peers that have given Oscam the name "Bad" emu, just be honest and tell them that you are using Oscam. Generally after this they dont have a problem with Oscam and are willing to give Oscam a try.

My advise to you, limit the use of card reshare in the dept. Card further away than 3~4 hops will give the server bad-responces, keep the below 600msec (peers en local).This will limit the freezes allot.
Oscam will show all this nicelly on the Webif

To keep you local card updated shoose 1 or 2 receivers and make the following settings in user:

oscam.user (The receiver used for the update)

Code:

au                            = smart-tvv,smart-cd

Do this for the amount of cards that need a update, to disable this on the other user just mark the AU in the Webif.

Keep in mind that Oscam uses a different count starting with 0 and not like the other cams with 1.
So Sid on 3 = Sid 1,2,3 and 4!! Oscam counts: 0,1,2,3 = 4 sids
