Beyond user accounts, CCcam.cfg controls how the software behaves on your network.

  • ALLOW TELNETINFO: Allows you to view CCcam status via Telnet or a web browser.

  • WEBINFO USERNAME/PASSWORD: Protects the web interface.

  • SOFT KEY FILE: Tells CCcam where to find

    • The CCcam.cfg file is the central configuration hub for the CCcam softcam, an emulator used in satellite and cable receivers to manage decryption keys and facilitate "card sharing." This file dictates how your receiver interacts with smart cards, connects to remote servers, and manages "friends" who share your local subscriptions. 🛠️ Core Purpose and Location

    The CCcam.cfg file is essentially a text-based instruction manual for the CCcam binary.

    Typical Location: On most Enigma2 Linux-based receivers (like Dreambox, VU+, or Gigablue), it is found in the /etc/ or /var/etc/ directory.

    Creation: If it doesn’t exist, you can create a plain text file using Notepad++ or Atom and name it exactly CCcam.cfg. 🛰️ Primary Configuration Lines cccam.cfg

    The file is built using specific syntax prefixes that define its function. 1. The C-Line (Client Connection)

    This is used to connect to a remote server. It tells your box where to find the keys to decrypt a channel. Syntax: C: Example: C: 192.168.1.100 12000 user123 pass456

    This allows your receiver to log into a server (like a friend's box) to fetch the necessary data. 2. The F-Line (Friend/Server Definition)

    If you have a local subscription card and want to share it with another box, you create an F-Line. Syntax: F: Example: F: friend1 secretpass 2 0 1

    The numbers after the password determine how many "hops" away your friend can re-share your card. 3. The N-Line (Newcamd Connection)

    Used to connect to servers using the Newcamd protocol rather than the native CCcam protocol. Syntax: N:

    Example: N: myserver.com 10000 user pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14. ⚙️ Advanced System Settings

    Beyond sharing lines, CCcam.cfg includes parameters to fine-tune your receiver’s performance:

    Blocking EMMs: B: /dev/sci0 07 stops your card from receiving updates, which can be useful to prevent "marriage" of the card to an official receiver or to avoid unwanted "kill" signals.

    Listening Port: SERVER LISTEN PORT : 12000 defines which port your box uses to "listen" for incoming friend connections.

    OSD Settings: SHOW EXTENDED OSD : yes enables detailed information on your TV screen about which server is currently decrypting the channel.

    Debug Logging: DEBUG : yes logs the emulator's actions to a file, helpful for troubleshooting connection issues. ⚠️ Essential Security & Stability Tips

    Unique Credentials: Never use default usernames like root or admin in your F-Lines. Beyond user accounts, CCcam

    Firewalling: If you are sharing with friends over the internet, you must open and forward your SERVER LISTEN PORT (default 12000) in your router settings.

    File Permissions: Ensure the file has 644 permissions (Read/Write for owner, Read for others) via FTP clients like FileZilla to ensure the system can read it correctly. Guide :: Editing Your .cfg File. - Steam Community

    If you have a physical subscription card, you need to define which reader to use.

    For an internal reader (Phoenix interface):

    SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/sci0 3570000

    For a USB smartcard reader:

    SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0

    Think of cccam.cfg as the "brain" of the operation. Without this file, CCcam will run but will have no instructions on which card reader to use, which peers to connect to, or which users to allow access. Each line of the file contains a specific command or parameter.

    Typically, this file is located in the /etc/ folder on a Linux-based receiver (e.g., /var/etc/cccam.cfg or /etc/CCcam.cfg). After editing the file with a Linux-compatible text editor (like Notepad++ on Windows or vi on Linux), the user must restart the CCcam service for changes to take effect.
