emubox PRE BETA (CCCam)

Download
Download


NOTE: the software included is not finished or even stable!

What does it do?

This package will allow you to use CCcam on a windows computer with a DVB card.

Do I need something?

- A working dvb installation on windows, you should be able to view FTA channels!
- A linux based (Ubuntu 8.04 should work fine) installation on a virtual machine (VMware, qemu).
- A working CCcam setup on the virtual machine (including networking).

DVBDream -> works ok (use this for testing).
DVBViewer + SoftCSA 3.0 -> works ok (sometimes problems on channelchange).
MediaPortal + mdapifilter -> very slow (problems on channelchange).

The channelchange problems have to do with the filter system...
because of DVBViewers copy protection I can't even attach a debugger.

How to install?

The files in the windows directory should go into your mdapi plugin folder.
For DVBDream this is "C:\dvbdream\Plugins\pip00".
Open the emubox_plugin.cfg file and edit server_ip to the ip address of your virtual machine.

The files in the linux directory should go into the virtual machine where your CCcam.x86 file is located.
Open a console, go to that directory and run ./run_debug. CCcam should start...

How to use?

While the virtual machine and CCcam are running you should be able to watch the channels CCcam is able to decode.
At this time make sure only one plugin is active at the same time,
multi stream decoding is not supported in this version!

Good luck,

Congratulations undert@ker!
Excellent job. I use emubox with DVBDream and works flawlessly. What I miss is the ability for multistream (I know that you know that already) for PIP mode. Another suggestion is to compile interceptor.so for PPC target so a connection between windows and cccam server running on Dreambox could be made also. Thanks again!

interceptor.so for PPC. That could be very interesting! Or, what could be great is to have some kind of plugin like emubox for the Dreambox. Having this, we will be able to have CCcam running on linux and have different DreamBoxes getting the flowers from the linux servers.
If I peer the linux server with the dream, then the hops are increased by one...
Well. Who is the author of interceptor.so? There is any source code available?

Regards.
