GV8.2 to 8.5 upgrade issues

[mcs 0]

I upgraded a dvr from 8.2 to 8.5.0.1. (Only disc I had)

slow net here so not downloading every version and waiting half a day so just use latest disc I have

I removed old main system program

 

I upgraded xp to sp3, I upgraded direct x, I upgraded firmware on card

installed new version 8.5.0.1

and then rebuilt database,

 

when I click on view log, it makes an hour glass then just resumes recording

 

 

when I got to HDD and click on raw footage, it plays then error from media player?

I upgraded media player, but think it didn't got to 11?

 

any ideas

Hello,

 

Did you also update the Geovision card drivers? Sometimes when upgrading you will have to completely wipe out the old version. I have run into this issue.

 

Thank you,

Yeah, from working with Geovision, they always suggest a full unintall then installing. If you do it in that order, all the old settings are still picked up by the newly installed version.

 

Sounds like you're dealing with conflicting codecs or something.

My advice, do an FBR of the settings and reinstall windows. It doesn't take that long and ensures everythign is up to date and running smoothly. The FBR works pretty good.
