Check the IP address of your set top box - find it through your WiFi-router under LAN-clients or find it somewhere in the GUI MENU of your set top box.
Download the PUTTY.EXE to your Windows desktop (if you have OS Windows):
Putty Latest master G Feb 27th 2019 File
Start the PUTTY, put the IP address of your set top box, choose the Telnet or SSH connection type and then open connection:
-login = root
-password = (empty as default - press the ENTER key)
Now you are connected to the command-line (Shell) in your set-top box... continue with the instructions below...
Remove the current softcam - Oscam IPK package:
If you have an Oscam installed as the IPK installation package, you must first uninstall it - stop the service and then uninstall the entire IPK package with the following commands (using the PUTTY):
Code
top | grep cam # to display running processes containing the term "cam", then cancel displaying with CTRL+C
killall -9 <softcam_process_name>
opkg list-installed | grep cam # you get a list of installed packages that contain the word "cam"
opkg remove <softcam_package_name> # remove the installed softcam package (oscam/cccam) which you want to replace
Here is a manual way to install softcam (Oscam):
-- 1 --
Download the Oscam binary file which you need - depending on what chipset architecture is in your set-top box: mipsel, arm_v7, arm_v8, sh4, ..... etc. . Of course, if it's an archive (.rar / .zip / .7z / ...) , we'll unpack it ! Chipset architecture info can also be read via the command-line (Shell), from linux cpu-info:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
..or..
uname -m
..or..
cat /etc/image-version | grep "^arch="
-- 2 --
If the name of the binary file is different than simply "oscam" then rename it to "oscam". Then upload the binary file via FTP connection to your set-top box, namely to this folder: /usr/bin
(A note: Even in Total Commander, via the built-in FTP client, it is possible to set the file attributes to 755, instead of "chmod +x /path/file" in the Shell.)
-- 3 --
If you do not yet, open the Telnet / SSH connection to your set-top box (using PUTTY).
-- 4 --
As first, set the execute attribute for the binary file. Then test whether the binary is working, for example by displaying information ("--help"). If it doesn't work, you probably downloaded the wrong binary for a different type of chipset from the internet.
Code
chmod +x /usr/bin/oscam
/usr/bin/oscam --help
-- 5 --
Download the auto-start script from the Internet, set it to run-level, enable execute attributes ...... here is the sequence of commands to the command line (Shell):
Code
wget -O /etc/init.d/softcam --no-check-certificate https://github.com/s3n0/e2scripts/raw/master/softcam
chmod +x /etc/init.d/softcam
update-rc.d softcam defaults 90
reboot
That's all.
