Vu+ Zero OpenATV 7.6 – OSCam not found will not start

I am having serious problems getting OSCam to work on my Vu+ Zero and I am asking for help.


Device: Vu+ Zero
Image: OpenATV 7.6
CPU: MIPS


What I have done:


  • Installed enigma2-softcams-oscam-all-images via ipk
  • OSCam appears in Softcam Selection and I can select it
  • Restarted GUI and restarted softcam
  • Copied new configuration files using FileZilla

    • /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam.conf
    • /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam.server
    • /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam.user
Problem:
  • OSCam does NOT start
  • OSCam Information shows:
    “Unexpected error accessing WebIf – no capabilities found”
  • SSH commands show no OSCam binary:
    Code:
    find / -name oscam
    which oscam
    ls -l /usr/bin/oscam

    Is the OSCam binary missing or incorrectly installed?

    Where should the OSCam binary be located on OpenATV 7.6 for Vu+ Zero (MIPS)?

    What is the correct way to reinstall or fix OSCam so it actually starts?


    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have been trying all day without success.


    Thank you.
 
Is the latest version of oscam not available from the softcam feeds already installed .No need to install apk version
 
Might be better usind bash file or script to reinstall latest version .Then use openwebif to add yuor details in server files save and restart oscam
 
The config files go in the folder with name of the binary for the softcam packages on the plugin server.

/etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-emu
/etc/tuxbox/config/oscam-master

So it depends which you installed.

Going by your posts on other forum, best you issue these commands. Copy and paste instead of typing.

Code:
wget -qO- --no-check-certificate "http://updates.mynonpublic.com/oea/feed" | bash
opkg update
opkg install enigma2-plugin-softcams-oscam-emu
opkg installenigma2-plugin-softcams-oscam-master

If you are using an ipk by someone, clearly say which version.
 
what file should i put to tmp folder?
Can you telnet ? Putty or similar installed on a device ?

If so fire up putty and login
run this
wget -qO- --no-check-certificate "http://updates.mynonpublic.com/oea/feed" | bash

Reboot box

You will now have the openatv feed in your plugin downloads

Install an oscam from there.

Or but maybe not relevant to you as Oscam wont start but maybe useful to others.

The file you have used enigma2-softcams-oscam-all-images_11860-emu-802-arm+mips_all.ipk should be working it maybe it has a different location for the configs

You can find this out

Login to your boxes web interface, just stick your boxes ip in a browser and hit enter

On the left hand side of the webinterface under extras youll see a tab Oscam Webinterface click on that to see the oscam web interface.

Click on Files then oscam.version scroll to ConfigDir . There it will tell you the directory your configs should be in for that particular version of Oscam.

If you can not reach the oscam webinterface the file you installed is duff, remove it and follow the first part of this post.
 
I’m running ATV 7.6 on a Vu+ Zero HD (old box) and trying to install an OSCam .ipk.
I’ve tried the newest OSCam builds, but they don’t work on this device — they either fail to install or won’t start.

I’ve put the .ipk into /tmp and attempted a local install, but no luck. I suspect it’s an architecture/compatibility issue.


My setup her bellow

Vu+ Zero HD (old model, MIPS)
ATV 7.6 image
I’m installing via the Plugins / local extension method
Latest OSCam IPK just won’t load or crashes


Which OSCam IPK version is known to work reliably on ATV 7.6 / Vu+ Zero HD (MIPS)?
Where is a trusted download link for that specific OSCam IPK?
Any tips on proper installation steps for ATV images?

have you done what @Ferret. suggested above?
 
I managed to install OSCam, but I’m running into another issue on ATV 7.6 / Vu+ Zero HD (old MIPS box)
The binary is present on the system:. So OSCam is clearly installed.
However, SoftCam Manager does not appear at all:
Not when pressing the Blue button
Not under Plugins → System plugins
Not under Extensions

Basically, there is no SoftCam / SoftCam Manager menu anywhere, even though OSCam exists in /usr/bin.

It looks like:
OSCam was installed, but
ATV SoftCam Manager plugin is missing or not compatible with this image / box
Does ATV 7.6 require a separate SoftCam Manager plugin for older MIPS boxes like Vu+ Zero HD?
Is there a specific SoftCam Manager that works with ATV 7.6 on MIPS?
Or is this a known limitation of newer ATV images on the old Zero HD?
 
I need to downgraded to 7.3 7.6 not works on vuplus zero
Do as @Ferret. posted

Install an oscam from there.


Then reboot and softcam manager should be in

Menu > Setup > Decryption and Parental control > Softcam Setup
 
As far as I can remember, that softcam menu depends on Enigma2 knowing a softcam has been installed. The manual ipks you are using is probably not triggering this.

Three people have told you to install a softcam from the plugin server. Please do it. You can then use the manual ipk you are so determined to use.
