Mg_config Explaination

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could explain exactly what the values represent in the mg_cfg file. I am using a Zgemma H2 on a Virgin line, and i keep getting freezing and glitching, i have checked everything from interent connection to wiring. The line provider also state there is no issue with their server.

I am thinking that it may be the mg_cfg file that is causing the freezing. this is what i have in my mg_cfg, and anyone tell what they represent and if i can change any of these values to give the box a more stable conneciton.

M: { 01 }
C: { 01 }
A: { 03 }
U: { 01 } 0x12c0
T: { 00 }
G: { 01 }
N: { 07 } 5 30
K: { 07 }
Q: { 120 }
P: { 00 }
O: { 00 } root password
S: { 00 } 80
L: { 02 } 172.16.1.1 28007 /tmp/mgcamd.log
E: { 15 }

thanks dangerous. I see that your config shows the B = 06 which is for Dreambox, as i have a Zgemma H2 sholud that value be different ?
 
Mine works on on zgemma no problem, just use the same settings, I've found it works on all receivers with a single N line or a C and N.
 
Change L: { 02 } to L: { 00 } that's to stop the mg_cfg file from hogging the router

I also have B 06 for box type

thanks i ve changed K and L and now testing. I have also noticed when i activate 1.38 cam i get the following when i FTP to the keys folder.

ignore.list.example.mg
mg_cfg
mg_cfg.example.mg
newcamd.list
peer.cfg.example.mg
priority.list.example.mg
replace.list.example.mg

I thought there should only be the newcamd.list and the mg_cfg in the keys folder, what are all the rest for? it seems they get get generated when activating the 1.38 cam in softcam menu. if i open the mg_cfg.example.mg and compare it to the mg_cfg the K and L values are different as well as some others,. Not sure if this could the be reason for the freezing. im using slyk1 Zgemma H2 image openATV. Any ideas. Thanks
 
Yes, stop faffing and try my file, if you have a problem come back.
Ps delete everything that's been generated, there all example files. I don't use them and have never had a problem

Edit:
I've got a set of the files your talking about stored on my laptop somewhere, I'll send them over if you want to try them, but I'm sure they don't have much impact.

thanks all for your help. It seems that the freezing was not down to the line or the cfg file. I am uising homeplugs with both the H1 and H2, over the last 2 weeks i have had a few power cuts in my area, this seems to have sent a power surge to the homeplugs, so i tried another set of home plugs but the freezing was still there, so it doesnt seem to be faulty homeplugs.

I then tried a wireless adapter and now the freezing has gone. It seems that the LAN port on both boxes are screwed from the power surges. ill be sticking to the wi-fi adapter as this seem to be stable.
 
Interesting [emoji106]

Edit:
I must admit I'm not a fan of homeplugs what so ever, I do here good reports but personally I think they can cause glitches.

Congratulations on getting to the bottom of it.

Seems to be a few people suffering with power surges at the minute, things cooking because of it

WiFi is below the order of homeplugs as it goes but desperate times = desperate measures
