Title: [Tool] Updated OscamSrvid Generator – Build Your srvid2 file from latest PID data
Post:
Hey guys,
I got tired of manually editing the oscam.srvid file every time a channel moved or a new service appeared. So I wrote a quick Python script to automate it.
What it does:
- Scrapes/Reads current transponder data (Lamedb/Ciefp settings).
- Matches Service ID (SID) to Channel names.
- Outputs a ready-to-use
oscam.srvidfile (format:SID = "Channel Name").
How to use:
- Download the script from [Your Link Here].
- Upload your
lamedbfile (from/etc/enigma2/). - Run:
python3 generator.py -i lamedb -o oscam.srvid - Replace the file in
/etc/tuxbox/config/and restart Oscam.
Example Output:
0x2B6C = "Sky Sport Bundesliga 1 HD"
0xEF10 = "RTL HD" oscamsrvid generator

🚀 Just built an OscamSrvid Generator script! 🛠️
Stop editing the srvid file line by line. This tool takes your Enigma2 lamedb and spits out a perfect oscam.srvid in 2 seconds.
✅ Auto-formats SID to Name ✅ Removes duplicates ✅ Works with any settings file Option 1: Technical / Forum Post (Best for

Title: How to Generate an Accurate oscam.srvid File Automatically
Body:
The oscam.srvid file allows OSCAM to display channel names in the log instead of just hex codes (SID). Creating this manually for 1000+ channels is impossible.
The Solution: Use a Srvid Generator. Here is a basic workflow using a shell script:
#!/bin/bash
# Extract SID and Name from lamedb
grep -A1 "^p:" /etc/enigma2/lamedb | grep -v "^p:\|--" | \
awk 'print "0x" substr($1,1,4) " = \"" substr($0,index($0,$2)) "\""' > /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam.srvid
Result:
You now have a clean oscam.srvid file that maps every service to its proper name. How to use:
Warning: Make sure your lamedb is up to date before running the generator.

1. Executive Summary
This report outlines the functionality, requirements, and operational benefits of the Oscam Srvid Generator. This utility is designed to automate the creation and maintenance of the oscam.srvid configuration file. By dynamically generating service lists from upstream data sources (such as transponder streams or online databases), the utility aims to reduce administrative overhead, minimize syntax errors, and ensure the Oscam server maintains an accurate mapping of television and radio services for log management and client-side formatting.

The Role of an SRVID Generator
An SRVID Generator is a utility designed to automate the population of this file. Because satellite and cable providers frequently update their channel lineups, rename channels, or shift frequencies, manually editing the oscam.srvid file is impractical for most server administrators.
A generator performs the following functions:
- Data Sourcing: It typically pulls data from external sources, such as:
- Enigma2 Receivers: It reads the
lamedborservicesfiles from set-top boxes (like Dreambox, Vu+, Zgemma) which contain an up-to-date list of tuned services. - Online Databases: Some advanced scripts scrape online satellite charts (like FlySat or LyngSat) to match IDs with names.
- Enigma2 Receivers: It reads the
- Formatting: It converts raw data into the valid Oscam syntax format.
- De-duplication: It ensures that duplicate Service IDs are handled correctly to prevent errors in the server logs.
- Output: It generates a clean
oscam.srvidfile ready for upload to the Oscam configuration directory.
