If you are upgrading from legacy CCcam to modern OSCam on your Enigma2 receiver, Android box, or Linux PC, you might be wondering how to make your existing CCcam subscription lines work. While CCcam uses a simple one-line syntax (the classic C-Line), OSCam relies on structured configuration files located in oscam.server.
Why Migrate from CCcam to OSCam?
OSCam (Open Source Conditional Access Module) offers superior stability, multi-protocol support, advanced ECM filtering, and lightning-fast zapping speeds. Converting your C-Line into an OSCam reader lets you take full advantage of these modern features without needing a new server line.
Understanding the CCcam C-Line Format
A standard CCcam C-Line looks like this:
C: server.example.com 12000 myusername mypassword
- Host / Server IP: server.example.com
- Port: 12000
- Username: myusername
- Password: mypassword
How to Convert C-Line to OSCam Reader Format
In OSCam, every server line is defined as a [reader] inside the oscam.server configuration file. Here is how that same C-Line is structured in OSCam:
Standard OSCam Reader Syntax
[reader]
label = my_cccam_server
protocol = cccam
device = server.example.com,12000
user = myusername
password = mypassword
group = 1
cccversion = 2.3.2
cccmaxhops = 2
ccckeepalive = 1
audisabled = 1
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Step 1: Access Your Receiver via FTP or WebIF
Connect to your receiver using an FTP client like FileZilla or directly open your OSCam WebInterface (WebIF) via your browser (usually http://your-receiver-ip:8888).
Step 2: Locate oscam.server
Navigate to your OSCam configuration directory. On most Enigma2 images (OpenATV, OpenPLi, BlackHole), the path is:
/etc/tuxbox/config/oscam/ or /etc/tuxbox/config/
Step 3: Paste and Save the Reader
Open oscam.server, paste your converted reader code at the bottom of the file, and save changes. Make sure the group number matches your oscam.user file (commonly set to group = 1).
Step 4: Restart OSCam
Restart the OSCam softcam from your receiver's Softcam Manager or hit Restart inside the OSCam WebIF. Check the Live Log to ensure your reader connects with status CONNECTED.
Pro Tip for Zero Freezing
Always add ccckeepalive = 1 to your reader block. This ensures that the connection to the server stays active even during brief network fluctuations, eliminating stutter and black screens during live broadcasts.
