    Western Digital 'thumper' disks - PWL

    Suggest trying some high density foam, and/or a second layer of fibre. In practical terms, variation on a garden kneeling pad combined with some fibre style feet used on chairs to protect hard wood floors or similar :thumb: - relatively cheap solution, OK, they might not look great but certainly...

    Western Digital 'thumper' disks - PWL

    The high density foam isolation works exceptionally well, but, the computer case feet are compressing it, thus reducing effectiveness. I will work on a solution where the foam and also possibly a fibre material is sandwiched between two solid wood or composite layers, this should spread the...

    Western Digital 'thumper' disks - PWL

    Over the years, many drives installed for home and work, I find the better (5 year warrantied) drives always tend to be the noisiest, mostly at least. The purple drives are not bad compared to most, SSD will come down in time but it will be a few years yet for larger capacity.

    Western Digital 'thumper' disks - PWL

    Thanks and yes, I have used various enterprise grade and surveillance rated drives over the years, once you isolate these thumping style drives they actually become quieter than the normal 'chatter' type drives, it is a low frequency vs high, not always easy to isolate though of course!

    Latest release performance with Windows 11 Pro

    It is all HP Enterprise kit but yes indeed, could have been anything sadly, I think on this occasion I am going to blame the Hyper-V Manager Virtual Switch config, cannot really tie it in with much else. Cable I reconnected was Cat6 connecting BI computer to gigabit switch. Looking better now...

    Latest release performance with Windows 11 Pro

    Oh my goodness, must have been a long week! somehow gigabit ethernet was not active, simple cable out and cable back in, away we go. How embarrassing, classic wood for the trees scenario though, I will leave here for future reference if any poor sole gets bitten. What did I say my day job was...

    Latest release performance with Windows 11 Pro

    OK, I am going off my head here, system seemed ok yesterday morning, mid afternoon, yellow exclamation marks all over, feeds dropping briefly then back again, errors 'check fps and key rates', 'get events error' and so on. Reset network, switches, router, ripped out BI and installed again...

    Western Digital 'thumper' disks - PWL

    Recently switched to a 14TB WD white label (black/red?) drive for NVR storage in PC case, first time experiencing the thumping style drives. It appears the noise is the result of Premature Wear Levelling (PWL) which WD have seen fit to add on these units. Nice not to have the usual higher...

    Latest release performance with Windows 11 Pro

    Thanks for that, feed has been solid on existing system, I am network/IT support day job so tend to go overboard on that side :lol: Good to hear you are using 5.8.8.12 and that seems solid, I will move to that later and see how it goes.

    Latest release performance with Windows 11 Pro

    Are you finding any particular version/release which is more stable at all, I am on 5.8.8.8 at the moment, no particular reason, just the latest at time of initial install. Noticed a couple of gremlins when objects moves on particular camera, feed freezes then continues. I realise there is...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    I threw the towel in for now :lol: - exported critical flagged to avi/mp4 and got on with life. I will get over it in a month or two :rofl::lmao:

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Done, no dice until maybe the options to export flagged items appears on a future release, it was hinted. Just a pain really, means I either sit and wait or export the section of the bvr clip I need in another format. With 200+ flagged items that is a long job.

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Thanks, yes pretty much identical process, empty folders on new machine, stop all services, move data, triple check, restart service, regen DB. This kind of thing really bugs me, blame my day job, I do not give up easily! Appreciate your input again, helps confirm I am not going totally mad.

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Well, I tried moving c:\blueiris folder, program files folder, program data folder to same version, but no luck with flagged. If you think I am missing any files or folders in that move, let me know! The flagged clips initially showed in the list but 'no source file' error, then after a full...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Tempted to try moving flagged clips c:\Blueiris and program files data across to matching version, probably asking for trouble based on previous experience! you know how it is though, curiosity gets the better of you, will to succeed or whatever you want to call it, stubbornness probably more...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Yes, indeed, kind of a pain to be honest, rarely go back to those alerts, if I want to it will have to be either on the old system or simply dredging through the bvr clip. Looks like I will be turning on alert jpg's going forward. For now it seems my indexed 250 odd flagged items will be put out...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Thanks for that, sadly my alerts folder has never been used, I do not take any jpeg snapshots which may be an error on my part, see my other post above, looks like my chances of getting those clips to run as was is zero, I can access the full bvr clip but the alert marker point will just not be...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Alright, I tested out latest release and the export alert to bvr function, that does work but the clip is super short, like 1-2 seconds or so, where as the original flagged clip would be long as you like essentially. It seems like that new release shortens all flagged and alerts when playing...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Thanks, I did not carry out a Delete, just a Repair, will keep that in mind. Something else just occured to me, the test clips I moved and reindexed, simply show me the whole 4GB clip, they do not start playing from the 'flagged' point so to speak, or more accurately the 'alert' point of that...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    That makes total sense, I do not use the clip age and depend on size only normally, just testing this for the older clips. I think to be honest, I will just save these flagged clips in a folder elsewhere, access them if I need to. Probably not worth bringing them all in and flagging, maybe I...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    In have just been testing letting BI move the older clips to 'stored' folder, when this happens they drop out of the clips/alerts index and presumably become am 'external' bvr file. Looks like flagged clips need to stay in the 'new' folder.

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    After flagging two new moved bvr clips to test, I then set 'new' folder to move items older than 7 days to 'stored' but it doesn't seem to want to play ball with those, they are much older, maybe it does not see them as old for some reason. I also regenerated and compact/reindex but they stayed...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    That is an excellent point and makes total sense, chances are that when I started flagging clips the 'new' folder was at capacity, I will wait until that happens on the new system then to test. In the meantime hopefully my method of moving the older clips will work, if I then set the new folder...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Totally understand, the odd thing is though, on earlier releases it must have moved them to 'stored' automatically, is that possible, it must have been?!? I have no 'flagged' or 'protected' clips in my new folder, never have done.

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    OK, progress! I manually moved to 'new folder' regenerate DB and they show in the 'All Clips', then I can flag on the new system. Question, I quite liked the older system where it seemed to move 'flagged' items to the 'stored' folder, do you think that is possible. Seems like the new versions...

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Damn, I never thought to regenerate database on the new machine, they should get moved to 'new' folder I assume, then can be flagged and protected? hopefully.

    Moving flagged (stored) clips to a new machine

    Thank you, clips were certainly placed in the 'stored' folder by Blue Iris, soon as I flag/protect they get moved to that folder. Once I get this resolved I can finally stop running Blue Iris on the existing machine which is quite overloaded now, just be nice to keep these flagged clips for...
