If you are using CoreELEC on your Raspberry Pi 3 (Rpi3) and want to set up OSCam, you’ve come to the right place. OSCam is a popular open-source Conditional Access Module (CAM) software that allows you to decrypt encrypted television signals.
To install OSCam on CoreELEC, follow these steps:
1. Connect to your CoreELEC device using SSH or SFTP.
2. Navigate to the “/storage/.kodi/addons” directory.
3. Create a new folder called “service.softcam.oscam” if it doesn’t already exist.
4. Download the latest OSCam release from the official website (https://www.oscam.cc) or use the “wget” command to directly download it to the “service.softcam.oscam” folder.
5. Extract the downloaded OSCam archive using the appropriate command (e.g., “tar -xvf oscam.tar.gz”).
6. Edit the OSCam configuration file located at “/storage/.kodi/addons/service.softcam.oscam/config/oscam.conf” to customize the settings according to your needs. Make sure to configure the necessary reader and server sections.
7. Save the changes and exit the editor.
8. Restart CoreELEC by either rebooting the device or using the “reboot” command.
Once CoreELEC has restarted, OSCam should be up and running. You can access the OSCam web interface by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of your CoreELEC device followed by the port number (default is 8888). From there, you can further configure OSCam and manage your subscriptions.
Please note that OSCam is intended for legal use only. Make sure you have the necessary permissions and subscriptions to decrypt and view encrypted television signals.
