I'm getting these alerts every now and then.

Is this a horrible thing?

I did some searching and I found a thread where it was mentioned.
I tried unchecking the Use RTSP/Stream Timecode, which seemed
to have fixed it.

Depending on what all of this means...is it better to not get the Force
error and leave that RTSP box unchecked or get the Force error
and leave the RTSP box checked?

Using BI 4.1.1.5 x64

Thanks
Doug

I just started receiving this error (force quitting pxserver thread) since I rebuilt my system. Has there been any updates on resolution? It has struck three of 14 cameras.

i sent the information to Ken last night along with my BI log. Hopefully it's something simple to resolve.

Still no movement on this issue. Manifestats itself starting with one camera losing connection followed by one or two more and then by BI becomez unresponsive and then something happens resulting in all cameras operational again. I'l try to capture more.

I'm also getting this error all the time on random cameras. Did a full reinstall, no change. Once this happens the camera will never work again until BI is completely force restarted (wont restart on its own).

I am on the latest version. Supports only tip was to send them errors from Event viewer, but this particular error does not result in any there. I'm trying the RTSP timecode fix from the original poster.

Disabling the RTSP timestamp option per camera did not help my issue. Continuing dialogue with support.

May have solved this for one camera (reolink 420 set to baseline rtsp)! Turing off hardware decoding for this camera seems to alleviate the "force quitting pxserver thread" error.
