Timeline blank, now "overallocation error"

[Richard Harnwell]

I've just checked my BI PC for the first time in a few days and something seems to have gone wrong. I have two cameras recording continuously to a 2TB drive, but my timeline looks completely blank! A check of the "New" folder shows files are still being written, and there is plenty of space free. I checked the log and noticed a "corrupt or disk error" message so I did a DB rebuild. It didn't make any difference to the timeline, but the status window now shows an "overallocation error" and just generally seems confused about where my files are!









This is obviously quite concerning to me. Can anyone suggest what's going on, and how I can fix it?

Thanks
Richard

An update - it seems the time line recording bars reappear if I zoom out sufficiently:


...but then disappear again when I zoom in beyond a certain point:


Seems like a bug to me, or am I misunderstanding something about the interface?

I'm still getting the overallocation error.

try deleting the entire DB folder...and restarting..
as far as the timeline, ensure that you have the proper groups selected and dont have solo selected camera marked..

The DB folder delete & restart fixed both problems. Thanks very much.
