Netcam Studio 1.3.5

Ok, i’ve got it.

Netcam Studio is forcing chunks of 2MB which VLC doesn’t seem to appreciate. After disabling this it seems ok for both VLC and the Web Viewer.

Please give a try to the version on dropbox (1.3.1) and report back.

Hi there. Sorry for the long delay in my response, but you nailed it! Videos now play back perfectly from the library.
I really appreciate you taking the time to solve this one. Thanks!!

Thanks for your feedback!

Dropbox folder updated with v1.3.5, will update the changelog now.

Everything seems to work fine, except when I click into Global Variables, where I get an error window pop up: “RuleActionManager has not been initialized for this App Domain!”

Couldn’t replicate the problem.

Try renaming the file C:\ProgramData\Moonware\Netcam Studio\Server\server.config and see if it also happens with clean settings or if something was wrong while upgrading settings from previous version.

Ok, I could replicate it in Netcam Studio Client. Will look forward to fix ASAP before the official release of 1.3.5, thanks for reporting.

Works fine for me also on client!

Happens only after one of the variable has changed and if the grid is being refreshed. It’s probably here since many versions but I have never noticed this behavior before. Will check how to fix that.

@Henrik and @aganangsephaku,

While testing and playing with this 1.3.5 on my different test systems for the last couple of days, I have observed an abnormal decrease of performance and smoothness of the streams.

My feeling has been confirmed and I have finally been able to identify where it comes from and fix it. I’m surprised you didn’t notice but even I didn’t at first :smile:

Anyway you should uninstall your current 1.3.5 and reinstall the one I have just uploaded and I suppose that you will feel the difference since the problem was impacting all kind of sources and making it almost impossible to generate video streams (using the Live view mode).

The current 1.3.5 should offer at least the performances of 1.3.2 + the latest features and improvements, I have also modified the file generated by LPR so that it includes country, confidence and a separator between the fields.

Hi @Admin

I did not notice anything since I am only running 1 camera on the 1.3.5 with the LPR for testing. :slight_smile: Thanks for your vigilance and finding the issue. Have a :cookie: with your coffee. :smile:

Well even with one camera you probably wouldn’t get 25fps.

Mine were stuck around 10-12fps instead of 25.

Interesting. Using the client to view the source, I am getting 30fps on all of my 30fps cameras. I have 8 cameras in total. I haven’t noticed any issues, but I’ll grab the new version anyway.

Thanks

Good!. Can you just mention the hardware you use. Processor (speed, cores) and amount of RAM. Resolution of the cams are also of interest. Just for the learning curve ;).

I am running 64-bit Windows 10 pro using an Intel i7-2600k @ 3.4GHz (4 core/8 thread) with 16G of ram. Running 8 cameras takes about 25% cpu.
Cams:
1x1080p
2x720p
5x480p
The 2 720p cams are USB and the rest are wifi.

Well there have been 3-4 build of this 1.3.5, maybe the first one didn’t have this problem but It was included while working on improvements for the LPR.

But I think that this one is the good one and could be released officially. I will do so in a few days if no new issues are popping out.

I really hope to open the public beta of Netcam Studio Central for the next release (probably 1.4.0 in this case)

And allow sending of SMS and Push notifications, we are very close (you may have noticed already the new actions in the rule manager)

Keep tuned :grin:

Nice! The CPU almost go to sleep ;). Thank you for the info.

Updated this morning with a version which seems to solve the problem of the Client locking / freezing (temporarily) when connecting to a remote audio stream.

1.3.5 is finally officially released. Closing this thread.
