What other Softcams and Cardservers can I install?
This is where you can download more PLiĀ® tools for your DM box and have them automatically install on your DM box via the internet. You can then access this by your Blue button or what you have assigned the softcam menu to.
TIP: make sure your internet is enabled in your E1 box before you attempt to use this feature
More being added all the time, so check back from time to time:


Older softcam's can be found here;

Note: CCcam [included in all DM500 PLiĀ® software]
Tip: please see the softcam section on how to set up your downloaded softcams
How to set the default Softcam
Dreambox Settings
E1 Enigma 1 or E1 menus.
Simply use the arrow buttons on your remote to highlight the softcam you require and then press the OK button to select it.
We do not talk about what Cam works with what network subscription card or card sharing on this wiki or website.
By default there is NO cam loaded in the softcam settings as shown below. On the 5series of boxes CCcam version 2.0.x is always included in our images for you. On all other E1 models you will have to down load the cam you require (see below).

Select the default softcam (works with most networks out there) and press the OK button

If you want to see if your network subscription card is working with this softcam, save the settings (Green button) and then select Softcam again and now press the Yellow button to read your network subscription card.

As you can see in this case CCcam is reading the free subscription card from this network. If this screen is blank or has an error message you should read the configuration files for the cam you set up and see what you need to do to make it work.

Note E2 boxes Softcam does not follow what we show here

Sticky Emu/Soft Cam for channel and provider selection

Downloadable Soft Cams/Cardservers (version numbers are left out):
* Camd 3
* Camx
* Ccamd
* CCcam [included in all DM500 PLi images]
* Evocamd
* Mgcamd
* Newcamd
* Opencam
* Scam
* NewCs Cardserver

Cams are managed by the Plimgr service, which acts as a bridge between Enigma and the various user-selected emu's. Through the PLi setup page blue button (if you have not assigned it to something else) -> softcam setup", sticky emu's for specific channels and providers can be easily selected, apart from a default softcam for general usage.
Note: [legacy] when different softcams are used for separate providers, softcam X used for recording channel A will be stopped when you Zap to channel B (using softcam Y).
To add a Soft Cam manually:
FTP the appropriate files to your box and chmod the files
Create an empty file with the same name as the Soft Cam, for example "pcam". Optionally, you can enter the version number of the softcam as text and save it

Upload this file to /var/etc/plimgr/cams/

PLi Manager will now detect the new Soft Cam "pcam", if you entered a version number in your file it will be recognised as such

Choose the new Soft Cam in the Soft Cam Setup

Or via a Telnet session:

FTP the appropriate files to your box and chmod the files

Telnet to your box and type:

echo "1.9" > /var/etc/plimgr/cams/pcam
