I've recently upgraded to a new server and BI5 and now have half my cameras giving the 'Sorry, file not found' error. I had never seen it in version 4. What is weird is how some alert clips play fine and others don't but all alerts are from the *same* camera within a relatively short period of time. I would have expected an encoding error based on the '+' or 'smart' setting of the camera to yield alerts that *never* work. Can anyone shed light on why they sometimes work and sometimes don't?

Anyhow I do think the problem is an encoding error. Most of mine are using the Smart codec because it reduces the bandwidth used by a lot. I will test and report back. I still have my old sever with BI4 on it so I will turn it back on and see if I have the same problem.

Thanks to everyone who has provided advice here.
Smart codecs were never compatible with blue iris. Stop using them. The reason why they work sometimes is because the smart codec dynamically adjusts the iframe interval, at times to an acceptable level.
