I just wanted to thank everyone for the the help they provided and give a feedback on what I did, the solution worked like a charm. I performed a consolidate from the project on Watchout 5.5.2 into an empty folder. Inside this folder I only zipped the "_root" folder and the "Spec" file together. All the other files and folders are not required and could lead to a failed import into Watcnet 1.4. Then I renamed the *.zip extension in *.wob. Finally I dragged and dropped the *.wob file into the "Presentation" section of Watchnet 1.4 and it worked like a charm. It seems that Watchnet did not evolve much, so you can use Watchnet 1.4 with Watchout 5.5.2. I hope this post will help someone somewhere. Cheers!

Hi RBeddig, I know that webpage, and the only legacy version available in the dropdown menu is the latest 1.4... So I am still searching the net for at least a manual treating of the use of Watchnet with Watchout 5...

Thank you jfk and Mike Fahl or helping me. Does anyone has a user manual of Watchnet version 1.0 and a version of Watchnet version 1.0? I am unable to find any legacy dowloads for Watchnet on the Dataton website. Maybe I could find a way to make this work for Watchout 5.5.2.

It could indeed be the reason. I need to test this, thank you for your fast reply. Also when I unzip a *.wob file from a version 6 Bundle export to view its content, I noticed there are way more files like a "DFC-Data" file and a folder called "_meta", itself containing the following files: "Inputs", "MainTL", "Show", "Stage", and "Tasks". These files are not exported when doing a consolidate. Is it a problem?

Hi everyone! One of my client has a Watchout setup in version 5.5.2. It is composed of one Producer, 3 Display computers, and one Watchnet Server in version 1.4. I am not very familliar with the version 5.5.2 of Watchout, and I'm a total beginner with Watchnet. On the version 6 of Watchout, you can export a Watchout Bundle file (*.wob) that you can then drag and drop in Watchnet. I know that *.wob files are a consolidate of a project that is archived as a *.zip file, then the the extention is renamed as *.wob. As the export as Watchout bundle is not existing in Watchout version 5, I thought that exporting a consolidate of the project and then rename the *.zip by *.wob, would do the trick. But everytime I drag and drop the *.wob in Watchnet, it states that an import error ocurred. I thought I should reinstall Watchnet in a prior version, but was unable to find an old one. How was it working to setup a Watchout 5.5.2 version project in Watchnet? I was unable to find some informations on the subject in the Watchnet guide. Do you guys have any idea of what I am doing wrong? Is there someone who has knowledge on Watchout 5.5.2 and Watchnet 1.4? Cheers
