This guide will show you how to install iCam OSCam on your Enigma2 receiver using an automatic installation script. This method is the easiest and fastest way to set up iCam OSCam without manually downloading and configuring files.

📌 Requirements

✅ An Enigma2 receiver (Vu+, Dreambox, Zgemma, etc.)
✅ A stable internet connection
✅ Access to your receiver via Telnet or SSH (using PuTTY or Terminal)
✅ A valid CCcam or OSCam iCam server account

🔹 Step 1: Connect to Your Receiver

Find your receiver’s IP address
- On your Enigma2 receiver, go to:
  - Menu → Setup → System → Network → Device Setup
- Note the IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
Open a terminal or PuTTY on your PC
- Windows Users: Download & open PuTTY.
- Mac/Linux Users: Open Terminal.
Connect to your receiver via SSH/Telnet
- In PuTTY:
  - Host Name (or IP address): 192.168.1.100 (Replace with your receiver’s IP).
  - Port: 23 (for Telnet) or 22 (for SSH).
- In Terminal (Mac/Linux): Run:ssh [email protected]
- If asked for a password, enter your receiver’s root password (default is usually blank).

🔹 Step 2: Run the Auto Installation Script

Once connected via SSH/Telnet, copy & paste the following command:

wget -O - https://cccamlines.eu/icam_script | bash

This command will:

Download the latest iCam OSCam version.

Install it automatically in the correct directory.

Set permissions and configure basic settings.

🔹 Step 3: Configure OSCam iCam

After installation, the script places configuration files in:
🔹 /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam/ or /usr/keys/oscam/

Use FileZilla/WinSCP (FTP) to edit the files:

1️⃣ oscam.conf (General settings)

[global]
nice = -1
waitforcards = 1

[webif]
httpport = 8888
httpuser = admin
httppwd = admin

You can access the OSCam Web Interface via:
- http://[receiver_IP]:8888

2️⃣ oscam.server (CCcam/OSCam server settings)

[reader]
label = cccamlines.eu
protocol = cccam
device = s1.cccamlines.eu,12000
user = your_username
password = your_password
group=1

Replace server_address, port, username, and password with your actual CCcam/OSCam account details.

3️⃣ oscam.user (User authentication)

[account]
user = admin
pwd = admin
group = 1

🔹 Step 4: Start iCam OSCam

Now, activate iCam OSCam on your receiver:

Go to → Menu → Setup → Softcam/CI → Softcam Setup
Select “OSCam iCam” as the default softcam.
Press the Green Button (Restart Softcam) to activate it.

You can also start it manually via SSH:

/usr/bin/oscam-icam -c /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam/

🔹 Step 5: Verify iCam OSCam Installation

✅ Open a web browser and go to: http://[receiver_IP]:8888
✅ Check if the server is connected and channels are opening.
✅ If you see logs showing decoding activity, then iCam OSCam is working! 🎉

🛠 Troubleshooting

✅ OSCam won’t start?
✔ Ensure correct permissions:

chmod 755 /usr/bin/oscam-icam

✔ Check if installed in the right directory: /usr/bin/ or /usr/softcams/.

✅ Channels not opening?
✔ Verify oscam.server has the correct server details.
✔ Restart your receiver and try again.

✅ Web Interface not working?
✔ Ensure port 8888 is open in oscam.conf.
✔ Restart OSCam:

/etc/init.d/softcam restart
