Oscam.srvid Generator !!install!! May 2026

This generator simplifies the process of mapping Service IDs (SIDs) to channel names, which is necessary for the OSCam Web Interface and monitoring tools to display actual channel names instead of just hexadecimal codes. Key Features of the Generator Multiple Formats: It can output data for oscam.srvid oscam.srvid2 oscam.services Data Sources:

Users can generate lists by selecting specific providers (via ) or by uploading their personal Enigma2 bouquet Customization:

It allows for manual input of CAIDs (Conditional Access IDs) and Provider IDs to ensure the generated file matches your specific satellite setup. Why use an SRVID Generator? Readability: Converts raw hex data (e.g., ) into readable text (e.g., Sky Cinema HD ) in your logs and WebUI. Memory Management:

You can generate files that only include the specific channels you subscribe to, preventing OSCam from wasting memory on unnecessary mappings. Automation: oscam.srvid generator

Instead of manually typing hundreds of channel mappings into a text file, the generator automates the formatting based on current satellite transponder data. Further Exploration Check out the OSCam SRVID2 Generator

2. The oscam.srvid File Structure

The oscam.srvid file follows a specific syntax. It is a plain text file where each line represents a unique service. The format is defined as:

<CAID>:<SID>:<Provider Description>|<Channel Name>|<Type>

Parameters:

• CAID: The Conditional Access ID (Hexadecimal). This identifies the encryption system (e.g., 0B00, 0100, 0500).
• SID: The Service ID (Hexadecimal). This uniquely identifies the channel within a specific transport stream.
• Provider Description: Text string identifying the provider (optional but recommended).
• Channel Name: The human-readable name of the channel.
• Type: Service type (e.g., TV, Radio, Data).

Example Entry:

0B00:12C4:Sky Germany|Sky Action|TV

Integration and usage

• Run as a standalone script/tool on a PC or on the receiver (e.g., Linux-based DVB box).
• Typical workflow:
  1. Export or scan current channel list (channels.conf, channels.xml, or M3U).
  2. Run the generator to produce srvid entries.
  3. Review and optionally filter/group outputs.
  4. Paste or include generated srvid lines into OScam configuration and restart OScam.

1. Introduction

OSCam is a widely used software cam for conditional access in Linux-based set-top boxes and servers. To function optimally, OSCam requires several configuration files. While oscam.server and oscam.user handle connectivity and authentication, the oscam.srvid (Service ID) file is strictly cosmetic and functional for logging. Parameters:

Problem Statement: Without a valid oscam.srvid file, the OSCam web interface (monitor) displays only hexadecimal Service IDs (e.g., 6FAC) rather than the channel name (e.g., Discovery HD). This makes debugging and monitoring user activity difficult. Given that modern satellite/cable multiplexes contain thousands of services, manual creation of this file is unfeasible.

Objective: To design a generator script capable of sourcing service identification data and formatting it according to OSCam syntax requirements.
