January 8, 201016 yr Hi. After my kids have a own tv i need a cardserver for sharing my satcard at home. I think unraid is perfect for this because it is running 24/7... First i had to install CCcam on the unraidserver which worked. then i had to config CCcam so that my and my kids reciver can connect to it, which worked also... But i do not know how to install this cardreader http://www.maxdigital.nl/smargo/ do i have to install this thing or is it just "plug and play"?
January 8, 201016 yr You should be asking the MFG of that hardware -- http://maxdigital.nl/?action=pagina&id=42
January 9, 201016 yr Author ok unraid can see the cardreader when i add the cardreader to my server syslog says this Jan 9 17:05:37 media-server kernel: usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 Jan 9 17:05:37 media-server kernel: usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice so now i need yust to know what i have to enter in my CCcam config ... something like this SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+ but i do not know if /dev/ttyUSB0 is right

January 9, 201016 yr Again, you should be asking the MFG of that hardware -- http://maxdigital.nl/?action=pagina&id=42 Actually, in this case, I doubt that would help. The udev process in linux is what would assign a device and give it a name, not any software by the manufacturer, since none has been loaded by the manufacturer. To see the "device" it uses, you could do a ls -l /dev/usb* before you plug in the device and another after. The "new" device would probably be your USB device. I did that command on my server and it looks like this: (I have a usb connection to my APC brand UPS) root@Tower:# ls -l /dev/usb* crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 0 Dec 30 22:49 /dev/usbdev1.1 crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 2 Dec 30 22:49 /dev/usbdev1.3 crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 128 Dec 30 22:49 /dev/usbdev2.1 crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 129 Dec 30 22:49 /dev/usbdev2.2 crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 256 Dec 30 22:49 /dev/usbdev3.1 crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 384 Dec 30 22:49 /dev/usbdev4.1 crw-rw---- 1 root root 189, 512 Dec 30 22:49 /dev/usbdev5.1 /dev/usb: total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 180, 96 Dec 30 22:49 hiddev0
January 9, 201016 yr Joe L, so you don't think a hardware maker that advertises their product to work with Linux is able to offer help with getting it to work with Linux? From their website material "The first advanced smartcardreader for Linux and Windows", "The Smartreader Plus is the first smartcardreader that can be connected directly into the USB port of a Linux", "The integrated USB to Serial converter enables the SmartReader Plus to work with all standard Phoenix compatible Linux and Windows applications.", "Dreambox, Reelbox, Triple Dragon, Linux PC or Windows PC", "Linux: /dev/usb/tts/X", "The Smargo® SmartReader Plus can not only be used in Linux or Windows computer" and even this Linux smartreader update.
January 12, 201016 yr Author i did not get a response from maxdigital. when i connect the smargo reader to my htpc with a minimal ubuntu install + XBMC i get this: [ 5576.992052] usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 9 [ 5577.205221] usb 4-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 5577.215163] ftdi_sio 4-2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected [ 5577.215223] usb 4-2: Detected FT232BM [ 5577.215229] usb 4-2: Number of endpoints 2 [ 5577.215234] usb 4-2: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 64 [ 5577.215239] usb 4-2: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 64 [ 5577.215244] usb 4-2: Setting MaxPacketSize 64 [ 5577.220468] ftdi_sio ttyUSB0: Unable to read latency timer: -32 [ 5577.220712] usb 4-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0 in unraid i get this: media-server kernel: usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 media-server kernel: usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice it seems to me that there is no driver in the unraid software. is there a possibility to add this driver to unraid?
January 13, 201016 yr Yes. You can compile your own linux kernel that includes the drivers you need. Search the Wiki for pointers.
January 13, 201016 yr Or, you could email Limetech, and ask if they could possibly enable the ftdi_sio driver in their next build.
February 11, 201016 yr Author Yes. You can compile your own linux kernel that includes the drivers you need. Search the Wiki for pointers. ok... after days of try and error...bottles of coke, fast food, a stressed girl, sleepless nights, i can honestly say ...i have no f**king idea what i am doing. it would be to long to write down what i tried but i think i ... lets say...i started hating the wiki... I'm a wine maker and i know how to make wine. good wine...no problem... i can also use my unraid server, add ps3 server, twonky, sabnzbd... but i can say now that i have absolutely no clue how to compile a driver, set up a vm or something similar. so please could someone please do this for me... or tom if you are reading this...please add this driver to the next release thank you
