Time zone has been finally fixed but archive playback is not working for me. I can go into archive but video is not played back. It just shows static frame.

I'm seeing another problem with archive, a good part of the last day is missing from it.

[XeoMax]

Me too have issues with tine zone. Playback cursor can go 2 hours in the future and the playback seems to be shifted. Tested in a win 10 environment, by connecting from Android.
Timezones are correctly setup in xeoma client and server.

Wow, we don't seem to be able to repeat the issue. Could you please send us to tech support some details:
1) What version of Xeoma did you have before the update to the beta?
2) What OS is Xeoma used on?
3) What camera settings do you have in Xeoma? We're not after any sensitive data like passwords, you can blur it. But settings on the whole are important.
4) Are there archive files still being written on the disk while they are not viewable in archive player?

1)I was previously using 16.8.17. The only problem with that one was the DST issue
2)Server is 64 bit Linux, client is Windows.
3)I have nothing special for camera settings. But a screenshot is attached below.
4)Yes, they are still written to disk. I can see new files in the archive directory that are only minutes old. If I wait until the next day, the previous day's video is available in the client.

OK I decided to give it another chance and I did clean install of new beta. This time everything is working fine, including time zone and archive playback. Previously I did upgrade from 16.8.17. My system was Ubuntu running from Docker container on Synology NAS. Now I installed new beta under CentOS 7 also running from Docker container. So I'm not sure what actually helped, different system or clean install.

That's interesting.

It's all ok for me now. After deleting the settings file and redo all the config from scratch, my issues are gone. Thank you Xeoma support.

I have all the same issues described above also, after upgrading from previous version to the new beta.
Running on Windows 10.

It seems that doing a complete reinstall is what fixes it.

[cjtrevor]

Hi

Could you please explain exactly what you mean by complete reinstall?

I downloaded the install package, ran it, selected install, to install over the top of the existing install. This does not seem to have fixed.

Do you mean I have to uninstall? Do I need to manually delete any folders or files? And then install again?

In doing this can I keep my archive and can I keep my settings? How would I do this? It will be a pain to set up from start again because many cameras all with individually set motion areas and settings etc.

To Felenasoft - will there be an upgrade that will fix the issues without having to do the complete reinstall?

What I did was run "xeoma -install -removeall", but at least for Linux, this can also be achieved quite easily by deleting some directories and also deleting or moving the archive.

I already tried moving the archive and restarting the server to force it to recreate it, but the issue persisted. So I got tired of it and moved the archive to a different directory and set everything back up again from scratch. It wasn't fun but it fixed it. One thing I didn't try was deleting (or better yet, rename) the settings.dat and restarting it to see if only setting it back up, but keeping the archive, will fix it.

It's unfortunate that this is required. A reinstall of this magnitude shouldn't be required when upgrading from the previous version.
