Configuring Mgcamd. Mgcamd: installation, configuration, configuration

The use of television receivers in some cases may require the installation of emulators in them, which are adapted to run the coded channels. Among the most popular solutions of this type is MGCamd. Installation and configuration of this emulator can be accompanied by a number of nuances. What should I pay attention to when working with MGCamd first of all?

Specificity of the emulator

Among the emulators that are best adapted to viewing encoded broadcasts through carding is MGCamd 1.35. Configuring this solution properly allows you to run the appropriate channels when you use the keys that are registered in the structure of the file SoftCam.Key.

Installing the emulator

Let's investigate how the emulator is installed on common receivers like GI 8120. Before proceeding with the corresponding task, it is necessary to make sure that the compatibility option with the encoding of Conax is deactivated in the receiver. It is therefore necessary to enter the device management interface, select the "System" item, after - "Basic settings", and then - "Conditional access". It is necessary after this to be convinced, that opposite Conax point there is a mark "Off". If it is not so, put it.

The next task is to install the emulator in question, as well as its configuration files to the receiver. To do this, you must find the Plugin folder in the corresponding MGCamd archive. It is necessary to unpack it into the root area of the flash drive - it must be formatted in the FAT32 system (this can be done via Windows). This flash drive should be inserted into the USB port of the receiver of the type considered. It is important that the device is turned off at this time. After it is turned on and loaded, the software interface prompts the user to install the plug-in. It is necessary to confirm with consent of the control panel the installation of the corresponding component. After that, the emulator installation will begin. At the end of this process, the receiver will reboot.

After the device is turned on, the device can again request the installation of the plug-in, but this time it is necessary to abandon this procedure and wait until the device is loaded again. After that, on the remote, you need to select an option designed to safely remove the USB flash drive, then - disconnect the USB device.

Setting up the emulator

How is MGCamd configured? The solution of this task is carried out in several stages.

The first step is to use the FTP client to enter the receiver's settings. To do this, you need to enter a login and password - in both cases, it's root. It is necessary to check the mg_cfg file and make sure that it contains the following parameters:

- G: {01};

- B: {01}.

If the values are different, then subsequently, it may be difficult to watch channels through card-sharing in a number of modes.

Configuring kardsharinga

The next task is to set up the carding through the MGCamd emulator. To do this, connect the receiver to the Internet. Also, you need the correct options from the card-saving server in order to activate the necessary packages.

The main protocol by which MGCamd is configured at the current stage is Newcamd. To activate it, you need to make changes to the parameters that are contained in the file newcamd.list, located in the file system of the receiver. As an editor, it is desirable to use a program that is adapted to work with Linux files. Among them - UltraEdit, it can be used.

Let's consider in detail the structure of the file newcamd.list. It contains several lines. Some of them will be used by us in the course of solving such task as setting up MGCamd.

String CWS_KEEPALIVE

Among these is the CWS_KEEPALIVE line. It captures the time through which the emulator checks the connection to the carding server in accordance with the port settings. The corresponding option can be used if it is a question of using a NAT-router that deactivates idle connections. Another possible variant of its use is the launch of the coded channels immediately after the transition from open broadcasts.

CWS line

The CWS line, in turn, is extremely important for us when working with MGCamd. Setting up the sharing requires that you make the necessary adjustments. Here, the parameters for the card-saving server that are needed to run certain packages are captured. So, instead of the phrase IP Server, you should fix the domain name of the server of the card-sharing, or even better, its IP-address. Instead of Server Port, you need to enter the port for a particular channel package. The login and password options are changed accordingly - by entering the login and password there. After this, you must specify the DES-key. It will look like a numerical series from 01 to 14 (between the numbers - spaces).

Next to the above lines in the file in question is another - CWS_INCOMING_PORT. It fixes the port used for listening to incoming packets. In practice, these settings are almost unnecessary to correct, so you can not pay attention to them.

Work with other files

Configuring MGCamd also involves working with some additional files. Among them are:

- priority.list;

- ignore.list;

- replace.list.

They are also located in the file system of the receiver. Their purpose is to speed up the process of launching coded channels in the event that they have a large number of identities. But if you use a local carding surfer, then the corresponding files, as a rule, include the correct parameters, which you do not need to change. You need to edit them only if you intend to use other servers for carding, or if there are changes in the options of the current one.

We agree that we still need to work with the specified files.

Configuring the priority.list file

If it is a priority.list file, it is used to fix the identities by which channels should be launched.

They can be designated as two-digit numbers. The identities in the lines are fixed by means of letters and braces. For example, V denotes the encoding that is used when translating channels, viaccess, in particular. Identities, as a rule, fix the desired resolution of the telephoto - for example, SD or HD.

Inclusion of encodings in files should be carried out according to certain rules. Let's look at some examples of specifying their required values in the priority.list file.

So, for example, if it's a DRE-Crypt encoding, then the file X: {4a e1} must be written in the file. The letter X means that the marked encoding is activated. The value 4a e1 is the CAID.

Another common encoding is Irdeto. If it is enabled, the line I: {00 01} must be written in the file. Similarly, the letter I is the marked encoding, the digits 00 01 is the CHID.

If the Seca encoding is used, the file S: {00 84} must be written in the file. In this case, the letter S is the indicated encoding, and 00 84 is the identifier.

If NDS encoding is used, the file should be written X: {09 0F}, where X is the NDS encoding designation, and the value 09 0F is the CAID.

When using the Nagravision encoding in the file, you should write the line X: {18 10}, in which X is also the encoding, 1810 is CAID.

Configuring the ignore.list and replase.list files

The following file is ignore.list, includes the identities that should not be used when starting channels.

The third file from the number specified - replace.list, is used if it is necessary to replace the incorrect identities with those that are functional. Additional options for channels can be specified. Most often used in HD-broadcasts.

The lines in the file look something like this:

R: {{2F4F} {0500} {023700} {0FA6} {0500} {030600} {0BBE}}.

What does this sequence mean? The value {2F4A} is the translation sit, {0500} is the Viaccess encoding, {023700} is the replacement identifier, {0FA6} is the ECM PID. Next are the corrective values. That is, {0500} is a new encoding, {030600} is the new identifier that replaces the current one, {0BBE} is the correct ECM PID corresponding to the channel.

Also, the configuration of the MGCamd plug-in may require working with the mg_cfg file, in which the configuration parameters are fixed.

After the files we reviewed are properly edited - provided that you need to do this because of the specifics of the server - you need to reboot the receiver. Do it best this way:

- first you need to put the device into standby mode using the corresponding button on the remote control;

- after that - turn off by means of the toggle switch located at the back of the device.

In turn, the receiver should be turned on in the reverse order. When the device boots, select the "Plug-in" menu item and click OK.

This is how you configure the MGCamd emulator. Of course, these are very "framework" criteria. In some cases, more detailed editing of files will be required in order to correctly activate the MGCamd emulator. Fine tuning of the receiver in some cases, in addition, may require the participation of qualified specialists in the field of television equipment.

Setting up the receiver and connecting it to the network

The tasks noted by us can be supplemented by the need to configure the receiver type GI 8120, as well as connecting it to the network. How can these actions be carried out?

Corresponding work with the receiver, which is also used in solving a problem such as setting up MGCamd-GI 8120, may be needed if:

- the device has just been purchased;

- its settings are reset to factory settings.

In both cases, you may need to set the correct options "from scratch".

The receiver in question, and with which the MGCamd is configured, the GI 8120, has a Russified interface. If the Russian language is not activated in it, then it must be done via the remote control.

After that, press the PAGE + button. Next - you need to fix the tinctures of time. Here the following options are key:

- Auto Update (if you activate it, the time will be synchronized with the satellite, but you can also enter the required values manually).

- GMT Offset (this option allows you to fix the time zone relative to Greenwich).

- Summer Time (if activated, the receiver will switch to summer time).

The device may also need to be connected to a local network. As a rule, the receiver itself gives a message that it needs to be done. To make this connection, you need to connect the device via an Ethernet cable to a router or modem that operates in router mode-it must already have an active connection to the Internet. In some cases it is possible to connect the receiver to a PC using a crossover method or via Wi-Fi.

In order to ensure the correct interaction of the receiver and the router, you can use the DHCP protocol. This will allow, in particular, the router to determine the required network parameters automatically. To use DHCP, you need to enter the receiver's settings and set the DHCP option to ON.

But it may well be that the DHCP server is not being used on the router. In this case, you will need to enter the LAN parameters manually.

After the user finishes setting up the network, it will be necessary to specify the correct settings regarding the video output in the receiver's control interface. In particular, in TV Standard you can set the resolution of the displayed image. In the Screen ratio - the proportion of the image on the display. In the item Conversion - a way to convert a picture through a particular mode.

Configuration settings of the receiver

You may need to work with configuration settings. Among them are:

- Message Auto Play (activates the display of messages).

- Software Upgrade Notify (activates a subscription to upgrade the receiver software).

- Video Upgrade Notify (allows you to update the video).

- Audience Rating (allows rating estimation).

- Video Clip Service (allows to play system video clips).

Having completed the settings, you must press the PAGE + button, after which the receiver will start to work in the usual mode - in particular, the channel display menu will open.

Variety of solutions

So, we looked at how MGCamd works (installation, configuration, configuration), and also examined the basic nuances of tuning one of the most popular receiver models with which this solution is compatible - GI 8120. Of course, those moments that we studied can Add a lot of other nuances of using the emulator. Such a need may arise due to the use of other versions of the solution. So, setting MGCamd 1.38 will have its own features. Much depends on the specific types of devices. So, if the receiver, which is configured MGCamd - SkyWay, the nuances of the functioning of this device will also require detailed study.
