ntpclient on Mstar not working please help

Post by roadrunner »

I put Vlads Oscam on my UE40D57 Mstar and it works very fine. Problem is that Oscam needs 4Min to start. I think it because the time of Oscam is false. The WebIF of Oscam says 00:00 Jan.1970 :D
I put the file samyGOoscam and ntpclient that I have compiled on linux in the Oscam directory, give them 755 but time still wrong even if I try to start ntpclient manualy it says 00:00 Jan.1970
Hope somebody helps with working ntpclient for D series MSTAR.

Thank you

Use this command line:
/mnt/opt/privateer/usr/bin/oscam/oscam -c /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/bin/oscam/ -w 0 -b

The "-w 0 b" tells oscam not to wait for time info as and also to run on background

My Oscam is in /mtd_rwdata/oscam so I edit the command line but nothing happens then I even try edit the samygoOscam file like this:

BIN_OSCAM=${DIR_OSCAM}/${OSCAM} -w 0 -b

Unfortunately still 4,15 Min to start Oscam.
I just saw that ShellCommander also needs 4minutes to start. Right after ShellCommander Oscam also starts after 1sec.

So it's not related to ntpClient nor oscam, it's just that your root takes 4min to start :)

I thought root starts with samygo?
56sek after I pressed the power button on the remote control I get the message Samygo started all applications . Then it takes 3 minutes more until Oscam starts . That is why I am surprised that it takes so long to start Oscam.
Is that normal?

You probably have some startup script(s) taking too long to start (such as nfs/samba...), try to disable them or rename oscam script to an earlier number (such as 05_...)

@zoelchat you were absolutely right!!!
I stoped most of the startup scripts and now Oscam starts in 55sec!

@zoelchat THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!

With a smarthub_closer.so for mstar I'd be totally happy
