How do I give priority or ignore certain cards ?

In CCcam it is possible to give priority or ignore certain cards by adding a file CCcam.prio in /var/etc , however this technique is not recommended as all traffic that comes into your cccam has to be checked across this file so CCcam will allow it to pass, give it priority or ignore it. This of course will be more processor intensive and may slow down a bit your system. However if you still would like to use it see below notes.

Notes:
  • Recent versions of CCcam has automatic filtering for the cards that does not clear the picture
  • Using CCcam.prio will override the automatic filtering for the specified provisers in the file
  • It is more advicable to use ignores in C lines ( see advanced F line options )
  • The prioirity is based on the order of the lines in the CCcam.prio ( The first in the file is the highest priority )

Example 1:

If for example a provider has 2 different cards for the package and you prefer to use a particular one first (93b) and if there is no choice use the other available (919) you would put this in the CCcam.prio

P: 93b : 0
P: 919 : 0

Example 2

If for example a provider has 2 different cards for the package and you want to use only one of them (93b) and the other(919) should be ignored you would put this in the CCcam.prio

P: 93b : 0
I: 919 : 0
