I'm having trouble playing back ANY recordings. The files are simply not there but a thumbnail is created along with an entry in the database (i assume).

Setup:
Intel NUC - i5-4250U (Intel HD Graphics 5000), 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD
5x Amcrest 4MP IP cams hardwired

I have tried the following:
1. Reinstall Win10
2. Reset/rebuild database
3. Shutdown BI and remove all BlueIris directories
4. Turn on/off QuickSync and/or VPP
5. Change resolution,encoding,fps,bitrate of of Cams
6. Turn on/off "decode only when required"
7... many other combos/options

The only combination that results in playable clips is turning off direct-to-disk and re-encoding the stream. Unfortunately I'm at CPU limit and the system becomes unresponsive since decoding and encoding a 4MP cam on my system takes about 25-30% CPU.

I would like the system to use motion detection and only save clips using direct-to-disk when there is motion. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Mattias
