Cannot playback and show error message "Invalid MxFFS path"

[mreza.zafari]

Hello there.

Here is the solution:
(Assume you set the configuration on the camera with no Encryption Key.)
Set the primary target to SD Flash Card or Buffered MxFFS, Then Archive target to SMB/CIFS for example.
In the field of Archive size, enter a number for amount of space for Archiving; BUT this number must be a multiple of 4GB.
Other settings are up to your project plan.
Press the Set button and Store the configuration on Camera Flash and then Reboot the camera.

How to Define a Direct File Server Path in MxMC (v2.1 and Higher)

Introduction By default, playback and export of recordings in MxMC is “Via Camera”. This means that MxMC must request the recorded data from the camera, which in turn then accesses the recording from the file server. By defining a direct recording path, MxMC can retrieve the recorded data directly from the file server. By removing the camera as a “middle man” this has a vast impact on reducing the processing load on both the camera and MxMC. This equates to a drastic improvement in performance …

Now in MxMC, enter the Edit mode and by right-clicking on that specific camera, check that the camera has found its own folder on the File Server Path. (There should be some recording by camera to create the folder on File Server in order to archive the recordings there.)

And now playback the recording.

That’s all!
