OScam


OScam, Open Source softcam


OScam is a softcam, software to be used to decrypt digital television channels on a settopbox (receiver), as an alternative for a conditional access module (CAM). OScam is, compared with other softcams (CCcam, mgcamd, etc.), open source. Hence, the name Open Source Conditional Access Module (OScam). OScam is based on the not so well known softcam MpCS. The main features of OSCam are next to its softcam capabilities, that it is able to function as a cardserver.

OScam information on the web


Their is a official website of the developers of OScam:

Cutting edge binaries for the following brands are (available at OScam Download Center):

OScam installation


OScam is a highly configurable softcam. So a howto can be getting huge if everything is explained.

OScam has different configuration files. It's not possible to say, everybody needs to configure it the same way (like CCcam).
This because we have different hardware, different sat tv providers, and different home networks. So maybe we can give examples.

OpenPLi has six different OScam Plugins available for enigma2 boxes:
Users with a M7 Group SECA3 card (the "new" cards of Canal Digitaal, TV Vlaanderen or TéléSAT) are advised to use version 1.20. Because this version is patched for grabbing the right CW's for a SECA2 and SECA3 cards.

These can be installed on your enigma2 OpenPLi box by pressing Menu on remote control and navigate to: Plugins > DownloadPlugins > softcams > oscam-experimental
for installing the oscam-experimental plugin. The other OScam plugins can be installed on a similar way.

The configuration files are stored in either of one of these directories on the box:
Update: OScam-experimental is updated with the help of serveral OpenPli forum users. Since say version OSCAM 1.20 build #6458, OScam runs out of the box with Canal Digitaal smartcards. Yeah awesome!

The following four files need to be installed in configuration directories to let OScam function normally:
In the next paragraphs the minimal content of the configuration files are given. With this config you can decrypt channels on your settopbox, if a smartcard is locally available. Further, an example is given to share your local card to another settopbox in your LAN. The cardsharing protocol used is the same as that of CCcam.

This explanation assumes you know how to edit files on your settopbox.

Further it is assumed, that your settopbox is behind a firewall!

The en OScam wiki gives a detailed description of all parameters.

In this paragraph two version of oscam.dvbapi are given. The first should be used with version less than revision 6421, denoted as version 1.10. The other, denoted as version 1.20, can be used for revisions from 6421.

oscam.dvbapi version 1.20


Can be kept empty, due to code changes that can handle multicrypt on channels with SECA2 and SECA3 encryption.
