What is CCcam


CCcam is a simple softcam. It runs out of the box and no configuration is required for normal usage. The configuration file cccam.cfg is stored in /etc/. As far as we know the last version of CCcam is 2.3.0. CCcam is closed source and is no longer updated or maintained and as such no longer advised to use it, as it can't deal with modern encryption methods.

When installed (with default settings) on the receiver you can access the web interface via http://127.0.0.1:16001
The most recent version of CCcam is 2.3.0

Note There is only a MIPSEL version for CCcam. In general if you have a 4k receiver (mostlikly ARM) can not use CCcam. CCcam is not maintained in a couple of years and no ARM version is expected.

Limitations: There is a know issue that CCcam will crash with some Viaccess channels. This problem is noticeable on some Dutch TV Channels with have taken TV channels from the 19.2 East Satellite.

A workaround for this issue:

Make a CCcam.prio file with the following content:

I: 500

Save this file at the default location /var/etc (This should be the same place where Cam.cfg exists). Restart CCcam.

CCcam 2.2.1 doesn't have the Viaccess crash problem, but since there are rumours that this (and older versions) version leaks card information, we doesn't advice to use this version.
