Help with oscam descrambling

void walker

I have searched the internet for days now, trying to figure this out, but it's just impossible. I have not found any page/wiki clearly describing oscam to someone that never had experience with it.

I want to descramble some channels, using a dvb-c tuner, nagra2 is the system.
I have the SoftCam.key in /var/keys, I have installed the latest oscam-smod (https://github.com/Schimmelreiter/oscam-smod), latest tvheadend from git.
Tvheadend CA config is using "CAPMT (Linux Network DVBAPI)", 127.0.0.1 port 9000 - it connects succesfully to oscam.
Oscam configs are like this (at the moment, I keep trying random stuff hoping it will make it work):
oscam.conf:
[dvbapi]
enabled = 1
au = 1
pmt_mode = 4
listen_port = 9000
user = tvh
read_sdt = 2
write_sdt_prov = 1

boxtype = pc

user.conf
[account]
user = tvh
pwd = tvh

group = 1

oscam.server:
[reader]
label = emulator
protocol = emu
device = emulator
#disablecrccws_only_for = 0E00:000000
#caid = 0500,0604,090F,0E00,1010,1801,2600,2602,2610,4AE1
detect = cd
#ident = 0500:000000,023800,021110,007400,007800;0604:000000;090F:000000;0E00:000000;1010:000000;1801:000000,007301,001101,002111;2600:000000;2602:000000;2610:000000;4AE1:000011,000014,0000FE
group = 1
emmcache = 2,1,2,1

emu_auproviders = 0604:010200;0E00:000000;1010:000000;2610:000000;4AE1:000011,000014,0000FE

[reader]
label = softcamkey
description = digicw
protocol = constcw
device = /var/keys/SoftCam.Key
caid = 0E00,0500,1801,2600
group = 1

reconnecttimeout = 0

The emulator part I got from here (the default oscam-emu config): https://github.com/oscam-emu/oscam-patched/wiki/Basic-config In tvheadend I get this in the logs: 2019-09-24 03:45:35.587 subscription: 0091: service instance is bad, reason: No descrambler
Oscam logs show no attempts to decode anything, just a succesful user connection, and also the 3 keys that I have in SoftCam.key being loaded into memory.
I have no idea what caid and ident are supposed to mean or how they work.

I am not sure if the protocol I am supposed to use is "constcw" or "emulator"

Please help, this has worn out my mental health considerably.

Edit: omg i did it, it works. I think I had to restart tvheadend too as well as oscam between config file edits.

Seems I need to necrobump this. I tried an oscam-emu install again, on archlinux, had to edit the pkgbuild of AUR oscam-emu a bit to build, as current patch doesn't work on latest oscam-git.
oscam.conf:
oscam.server:
oscam.user:

Service start fails with:

Can anyone help with a minimal working oscam-emu config ?
Or maybe I should try going with fairbird/NCam is this a better project ?
I've read some discussions that oscam codebase is degrading in quality because of new management or something like that.

Figured it out again, using ncam now, seems cleaner if you want the -emu functionality:

and keys in /var/keys

They are all the same.
The only difference is the default settings.
OSCam, OSCam-EMU and NCam all work for me.
