PC to read the TPS.BIN file via vPlug 1.4.0.
I stumbled upon a little windows app that seems to allow your PC to read the TPS.BIN file via vPlug 1.4.0. This app then acts as a server for your Dreambox and using Newcamd, it can then request the valid TPS key from PC. If this is old news, I apologise but haven't found this info elsewhere to be honest - maybe I am blind? Anyway - just in case you are not watching TPS...
What you will need:
================================================== =======
1) Valid TPS.BIN file (daily updated file - found on the net).
2) A PC and a Dreambox - networked with Newcamd (6.10b?) installed and OK.
3) The PC App - called SBCL and vPlug 1.4.0.
Step by Step Instructions that I did to get it all to work (working now):
================================================== =======
1) UnRar/Unzip SBCL to C:\SBCL folder on your PC. You should end up with 3 files and 1 folder in C:\SBCL namely...
a) SBCL v1.0g.exe
b) SBCL v1.0i.exe
c) SBCL.INI.
d) There should also be a Plugins folder inside the C:\SBCL folder. This Plugins folder is where vPlug 1.4.0 lives and also this is where you should also put the updated TPS.BIN file - you will need to overwrite this file every day!
2) OK - now that you have it all un-rared/unzipped and you have an up to date tps.bin file...Double click on SBCL v1.0i.exe (the SBCL v1.0g.exe didn't seem to work for me)
3) Click on the Tuner tab and click the Stop button near the top.
4) Enter your local Dreambox IP address 192.168.0.38 or whatever (leave the port at 6001 unless you have to change it)
5) Swap the Protocol dropdown to Newcamd
6) Click on the Start button
7) Click on the Info tab (useful to see what is going on)
Select vPlug from the menu and ensure Active is ticked/enabled - if not select it so that it is ticked
9) Select vPlug menu and then Show Info (very useful to see what is going on - like when the dream connects to the PC in a bit)
10) Now, on Dreambox, edit /var/tuxbox/config/newcamd/newcamd.conf file (copy to PC and edit using Notepad and then copy back to Dreambox if you like). Look for the line that reads # CWS = uds 1 dummy dummy and underneath it add the following line:
CWS = 192.168.0.39 6001 test test 0102030405060708091011121314
But swap the 192.168.0.39 for the IP address of the PC which you are now running SBCL on - get the idea? 2 way comms between the PC and the Dream on port 6001.
11) Start Newcamd (or restart it) on a TPS channel and it should clear after a little while.
Problems I have had:
================================================== =======
1) Very jerky when requests keys
2) Sometimes it just freezes and I have to restart newcamd
3) Setting PC clock back 30 seconds seems to help a bit. If you telnet into your Dream and do a date command, the dream always seems to be 30 secs behind the PC? Untick use Internet Time option on Windows Time/Date dialog and then set it back 30 seconds.
It seems to work better with mgcamd. It is same thing, you just start mgcamd on your dream instead of newcamd. And mgcamd might look for newcamd.conf in a different place then where it is by default for newcamd. So make sure you edit any newcamd.conf you find. It freezes sometimes. I haven't had much time to test it, but it is something at least. But I hope emu developers will come up with solution for us dreamers soon. I've gathered what is needed of files in one folder but you'll have to update tps.bin.
i must say i have tested this ..on the my itgate with juilet and works ok ..i am working with cccam most of the time .and seems to be fine when i get the time setup ok from pc to the itgate well most of the time
