mpt_adam Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Display system 1 worked fine, I changed the display system's IP in Watchmaker to test display system 2 and the connection tests as "good". When I try to go online I get messages saying "create; Can't create show", then "load; Show doesn't exist" and then "gotoTime; Not applicable". I tried creating a new watchmaker file but no change. What should I look for to resolve this? The prep checklist has been completed, there's plenty of space on the drives, ip's are good and the connection tests ok. I'm end-of-the-week-stumped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Fahl Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Sounds like some kind of permission issue. Is the disk full? Have you turned off UAC as descrived in the manual/release notes? Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt_adam Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 1 production machine and 2 display machines, but just the one cluster. uac is off, have run through the optimization checklist. i'll check to make sure i didn't overlook anything on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt_adam Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 plenty of space as well, 100's of gb on the work drive, and 30-40 on the os drive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted April 8, 2014 Moderator Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I have seen that happen from an installation of VNC - I know, it does not make sense, but it turned out to be the cause. Some VNC variants can be quite disruptive to WATCHOUT Accidentally copying the display software to startup items (instead of a shortcut), but that does not sound like the case here. Also confirm you do not have two instances of watchmaker running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt_adam Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 haha, I decided to just clone another system over, we don't generally do anything beyond simple display sync, so there's never any VNC installed, or ancillary configuration. Now I've got a directshow media error. The clone is directly off of the system I just qc'ed and built my show with, and the windows media settings in windows features are set just like the tweak list says. Maybe this is a good case for investing in Watchpax 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt_adam Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Another cloning seems to have resolved everything. Ahhh the glamorous life of a systems designer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
