Request a softcam.key for v8x

Post by xmh0511 »

Hi, I'm a new user of v8x. I cannot export the softcam.key from my stb. Could anyone please send the latest file that is compatible with v8x to me? a softcam key for Asia region. Thanks

Maybe there are no keys been put into the receiver, when you export your key info, you may just have keys of channels that have (auto rolled).
After checking on your computer in (note pad) to see what keys you may have / added yourself, you then amend the file to (softcam), then use the (red) button to (import) back into the receiver.

Hi, I open the exported file on my computer. I see nothing but a "***xxxx***" in that file. I'm not family with how to put these softcam keys into that file. I just hope somebody sends me an amended file that I can directly use. Appreciate that.

Do you mean there is no necessary to type the extension for that file? Merely the whole filename is "softcam", which can be recognized by v8x?

If you let us know what satellites you are watching, we will be able to let you know if you require a softcam, most keys are built within the software of the receiver.

All EMM keys are in the software updates, you must update the software, then put the receiver on the Powervu CH and let it stay on the CH untill it opens then go to the next CH and do the same thing, as for the softcam.key file, you will only see ECM keys because all EMM are are in the software and can not be extracted, the only EMM keys that can be extracted are the ones you add your self.

BTW, we don't give out any EMM keys at this site.

Thanks for your response. I'm watching 108.2(namely, SES-7/9) and 132.0°E ku, as well as 138°E

By the look of it, after checking (lyngsat)most of the channels are not supported via softcam.
Which are Conax / Wyplay / Videoguard / Xcrypt / Director / Powervu + / Mediacipher.
There may be other ways to decode the channels, which i do not how to, other members may be able to help.

Yes no extension worked for me. When I used the extension Import failed.

I wrote some instruction some time back on softcam.key and powervu code line format.

I think the Powervu on 138e has gone to Powervu+

Hi, I have looked at your introduction of how to code the PowerVu. An excellent article. However, I have confused about the other part of KeyData. I saw that you specified "909DD8F17BCFA7;2590:03980:30000:H ;" as an effective keyData. But, after looking at other softcam.key files, they are bases on using the format such as "BFC4EF57666AC9" as the keyData. I don't know what's the difference between them. I also want to know how to transform your format(likely Plaintext) to the latter.

The data key changes for every channel, so they are all different.

I mean your format seems a plaintext. Instead, in other softcam.key, it's a encrypted code.

These lines from the softcam.key file are text.
The codes like "BF C4 EF 57 66 6A C9" and "90 9D D8 F1 7B CF A7" are HEX ( digital format for 16 bit) I added the spaces to show the hex pairs.
The set top box then uses these as computer code.
Yes the GT Media units use plain text for users to interface with.

We will need more information of the channel and TP to help.
Powervu or Biss as well.

A look at that satellite on lyngsat do com shows the encrypted channels are not powervu or BISS.
GT Media only decodes powervu and BISS.
For other encryption types you need a Ccam account or the payTV providers card.

Perhaps, I didn't clearly express my opinion here. Such as, in the thread "Softcam key format specification", the suggested format of a powervu key is
P 005E0064 00 6F12E573566D2F ;
Instead, the format in your instruction is
909DD8F17BCFA7;2590: 03980: 30000: H ;
I know they are not the same data, since I don't know how to use the first format to code the data you examples. Obviously, these two formats are quite different except that they do not code the same data. It seems that the first format is called "EMM key format", I just wonder what's the difference between these two formats? Is any way to make your format transform to be the first?

I know they are not the same data, since I don't know how to use the first format to code the data you examples. Obviously, these two formats are quite different except that they do not code the same data. It seems that the first format is called "EMM key format", I just wonder what's the difference between these two formats? Is any way to make your format transform to be the first?

13-4-2021 Dreambox Softcam key mach1 13042021.rar As far as I know, most formats of coding the file "softcam.key" choose the first format.
We still use the old powervu key format:
ECM KEY: P XXXX 00 XXXXXXXXXXXXXX ; Discovery Science Europe HD, 1W, 12303
ECM KEY: P XXXX 01 XXXXXXXXXXXXXX ; Discovery Science Europe HD, 1W, 12303
EMM KEY: P 00XXXX 00 XXXXXXXXXXXXXX ;EMM Key

All of the text after ";" are comments, just for notes.
In Feralkiwi's instruction, the final format is "P 0000 00 909DD8F17BCFA7;2590:03980:30000:H ; " the part of keyData is "909DD8F17BCFA7;2590: 03980: 30000: H ", Instead, for ECM KEY, the part of keyData is a 14-bit encrypted text. In other words, the frequency, symbol rate, and polarization seem to be hidden. How to do that?
As I said, All of the text after ";" are comments, just for notes.
Take a look at "P 00XXXX 00 XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" where "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" might be "909DD8F17BCFA7", "00" might designate idx, how about "00XXXX"? what does it designate?
When you get an valid EMM key, you will get the this value.

I mean your format seems a plaintext. Instead, in other softcam.key, it's a encrypted code.
These lines from the softcam.key file are text.
The codes like "BF C4 EF 57 66 6A C9" and "90 9D D8 F1 7B CF A7" are HEX ( digital format for 16 bit) I added the spaces to show the hex pairs.
The set top box then uses these as computer code.
Yes the GT Media units use plain text for users to interface with.

Perhaps, I didn't clearly express my opinion here. Such as, in the thread "Softcam key format specification", the suggested format of a powervu key is
P 005E0064 00 6F12E573566D2F ;
Instead, the format in your instruction is
909DD8F17BCFA7;2590: 03980: 30000: H ;

From this website: http://www.dwdvb.com/ten-sports-pakista ... at-105-5e/, what I can get is the following table:
Channel Name: Sony Pictures Networks India
Satellite: AsiaSat 7 at 105.5°E
Frequency: 4180 V 30000
PowerVU: 00 = 9BA0B0D45F0A93
PowerVU: 01 = 785E6AFF44D7A9


According to the instruction, I can get the following code

P 00XXXX 00 9BA0B0D45F0A93;
P 00XXXX 01 785E6AFF44D7A9;

I just wonder what's the correct value should replace "00XXXX" here? If no mind, please tell me.
