This file tells OSCam where to find the card or server. OSCam requires three main files in /etc/tuxbox/config/ :
Example configuration for a Local Card (Safe):
[reader]
label = my_local_card
protocol = internal
device = /dev/sci0
autospeed = 0
caid = 0963 # Example CAID (Sky UK)
boxid = 1234567890
detect = cd
mhz = 357
cardmhz = 357
group = 1
emmcache = 1,3,2
Example configuration for a Network Line (The "Free Server"): If you were to use a found line, it would look like this:
[reader]
label = remote_free_server
protocol = cccam # or newcamd
device = example.com,12000 # The IP/Domain and Port
user = free_user
password = free_pass
group = 1
cccversion = 2.3.0
cccmaxhops = 1
Note: Free lines often have cccmaxhops set to 0, meaning you get no actual data. or software emulator
Before we dissect "free servers," let’s establish a foundation.
OSCam is a softcam, or software emulator, that runs on various platforms: Linux-based receivers (Enigma2), routers (OpenWrt), NAS devices, and even Windows via Cygwin. It interacts with a card reader (physical or virtual) to read a subscription smart card and share the decryption keys over a network (LAN or internet).
