Mbox CS SW for AZboxHD that actually works!!!

[gorski]

First, thanx to Ruspi for reasuring me re. Mbox and for not stopping praising it and hoping, together with me, that I will soon have it working, in my young box, too..... Live long and prosper!:thum: I was getting a bit frustrated and ever so slightly down about it.....:mecry:

Secondly, thanx to TD team, who put all the necessary Mbox files for AZboxHD together properly [which I will upload here]!!! Before that whatever I tried just didn't work. I learnt a few things from this!

Last but by no means least, thanx to Mower for a super job, although this is still allegedly but a "beta/test process"... GBox is now officially dead, long live Mbox!!! Our collective hat down, as I know I am speaking for all of us, using your lovely toy!!!:thum:

MBOX HOW TO:

Unpack this file and find the cwshare to edit just a bit. [Only that one needs messing with - and no other!]

This team very kindly put together and configured everything for AZboxHD. Their cwshare.cfg [included] looks as follows:

#####################
# cwshare Azbox HD #
# TD Team #

#####################
I: { 3 }
X: { 4 }
O: { 4000 2000 }

M: { server.no-ip.info { AAAAAFAF }}

G: { cliente.dyndns.org { 24000 24000 { AAAAFFFF { A3 A3 }}}}

If you wan a few more pieces of info [because you may have a local card or three and you wanna connect them to NewCS for server purposes, here's a template below...

So, edit this, an almost complete template [both for client and server purposes] - which works rather well, actually - using these explanations:

M: line is for your data;
G: line is for people who are using Mbox, whose cards you wanna hook onto as a client;
D: line is for people who are using GBox, whose cards you wanna hook onto as a client;
C: line(s) [as far as I can see] is/are for your card(s), local or from DNS, depending on what [and if] you have [any]. I will learn more about that - and report back - as soon as I get a card or two......

Lines which have # in front of them do not matter - those are explanations only - feel free to leave them there.

[Additional explanations are in the mbox.cfg file and on Mbox forum...]

Now, kindly Save it and then shove it all into your AZboxHD by Telnet/Total Commander/whatever.

Go into the OpenXCAS folder, where you need to grab them [you can do all 5 of them at once] and send them into the OpenXCAS folder of your AZboxHD. If asked to "overwrite" files choose "Yes to all of them".

Once they are in AZboxHD, give all the files CHMOD 755 "treatment" [rights].

Now, go into AZboxHD Menu -> Plugins -> OpenXCAS -> Activation and Priority Setting -> send MboxCAS all the way to the top using the red buton on your remote, if it isn't already there by a miracle, and remove # in front of it, if it still has it, and then start it using the yellow button!!! Get out of it, find a channel you know your colleague's cards will open... and - if you did it all correctly - wait for the colourssssssssssssss...:clapping:

Njoy!!:thum:

Here's another possibility, ta to dosenbrot from Mbox forum:

Get the file attached to this message that NeotionBox published, without the .sh file etc.

Follow the dosenbrot's directions after that:

1) one only needs to make a folder named MboxCAS,

2) put all the necessary files in it: Mbox.cfg,ident.info, ignore.list and mbox_module himself

3) the only one to give the rights [CHMOD 755] is the mbox_module itself

4) in this folder also make an openxcas.conf file and put the following in:

[module]
name = MboxCAS
daemon = mbox_module /EMU/OpenXCAS/MboxCAS/mbox.cfg
version = 0.23 4th

later put: AP= yes or no and Wait= 0 or 10 Seconds and maybe more

5) in OpenXCAS folder rename the module.seq file to MboxCAS and save it

6) configure your mbox.cfg and cwshare and all will work without any .sh File

7) The important parameters in Mbox.cfg are:

- T: { /tmp/ }

- K: { /EMU/OpenXCAS/MboxCAS/ }

- P: { /tmp/pmt.tmp }

Always good to learn!! :thum:

P.S. This is the last one before v. 0.5 that should work with the above Todo Team setup, if you just exchange the mbox_module file. Mbox All if the last Mbox for all possible setups The_Ripper is writing for.

Thanx to Ribolovac from EX-YU forum:

Let me add, re. the C lines:

C lines are, in fact, the connections to the NewCS server, either from your local NewCS (local cards) placed in the AZbox HD or from other boxes.

But what I wanted to mention is: if you want to your peer to see your local card, read by the NewCS, then he C line in cwshare file must start with a local IP, i.e. 127.0.0.1.

In any other case, like DNS or an IP adres, like 192.168.xxx.xxx, the card won't be seen as local, provided that the card is in your box, which has installed both Mbox and NewCS.
