G22 0 Posted April 25, 2006 geo.exe file in 'Start -> Programs -> Startup' ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orion 0 Posted April 25, 2006 geo.exe file in 'Start -> Programs -> Startup' ? Geovision main system starts fine after a reboot. TCP server and recording starts auto, just as it should, but Webserver fails (or to be more specific, does not start). Webserver runs fine if I start it manually, but it have to start auto if there is a powerfail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted April 25, 2006 Did you have this problem before upgrading to 8., or did 8.0 come with your card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted April 26, 2006 I have experienced the problem as well with Version 8 and 7.05. With Version 8 I notice a message on the screen when the Web server fails to load: something to the effect: Load Audio Server Failed. I then close the message and manually startup the webcam server. It doesn't do this everyday when it reboots, but intermittently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Ok, yeah its really still a beta for a while until they find all the bugs and fix them, reason im staying away from it for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orion 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Ok, yeah its really still a beta for a while until they find all the bugs and fix them, reason im staying away from it for now. On the other hand the next release (8.0.1.0) will probably have both fixes and some new features which will have bugs which will force a new release and so on...... So when the soft is stable it's time for a new major release I've seen this alot in other softwares (mostly my own ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasper 0 Posted May 7, 2006 I did not see that patch listed on their software download page? Did someone give you a direct link? Also have you applied the patch yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orion 0 Posted May 7, 2006 I did not see that patch listed on their software download page? Did someone give you a direct link? Also have you applied the patch yet? Found it in Ezcctv forum. I was sure I've seen it someware before, and was allmost sure that it was on Geos site but it seems that they have removed it. Tested it now and it works ok.

Jasper 0 Posted May 11, 2006 I have tested it after I applied the patch for a few days now and I still have had problems with the WebCam server starting up after reboot. I don't get the Load Audio Device Drivers failed message anymore, but Webcam still has to be started manually. I will try a clean install when I have time to see if that my clear up the problem. Thanks for the info on the patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orion 0 Posted May 11, 2006 I applied the patch on a GV1240 system that had a clean ver 8.0 install. Hope that the patch will fix your problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv_down_under 0 Posted May 12, 2006 i have not used geo for ages, so this advice may not only seem stupid but may be old, but ..if you do not tick the webserver to start on startup System Configure ----> Settings....on the left side of the page then the webserver will close on reboot, any items you want to start on geo start up have to be enabled at this section. I know you probably did this already and that I am probably stating the obvious but just in case! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted May 12, 2006 Yeah It is checked to startup on running of the program. You attempting to help someone is never stupid. I appreciate the effort to help me. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kg6mti 0 Posted May 12, 2006 I contacted Geovision and they confirmed that there is a bug in the 8.0 version of the software that will not allow the web server to restart automatically. The .zip file that someone else posted is the same as the one that Geovision email me. It contains to files and you simply place them in the folder where you installed the Geovision software. If you are concerned about the patch not working or causing more problems just rename the original files and then copy in the patched versions. That way if you need the originals back just delete the patched versions and rename the originals back to their regular name. My system was having the same problem with the web server as everyone else. I contacted Geovision they confirmed and apologized for the problem. Geovision supplied the patched files in a zip file attached to their response. I applied the patched versions and the problem is solved. Below is a link to the file that Geovision sent me. http://home.comcast.net/~kg6mti/downloads/webcam.zip Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted May 12, 2006 I need to do a clean install. I installed over the top of 7.05 and have had problems with the webcam, which was present in 7.05. Also I am unable to enter the password area without the Multicam program crashing. Any other updates that you come accross let me know. Thanks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HughieRmX 0 Posted May 22, 2006 Greetings Guyz, I would like to know how to apply the pach file .. is it directly unzip and extract it to the folder itself ?? Coz I do get some error messages at 1st ... ' This application has failed to start because CamMapping.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem ' = This is the 1st scenario. The 2nd scenario is once I extracted them into the GV250 folder, it seems that when i tried to execute the application there is a message indicating ' No Privileges ' pop out. Mind I ask, what is the next solution to solve this problem. I am using the Geovision Ver8.0 for the GV250 card. Thank you. Regards, Hughie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orion 0 Posted May 22, 2006 Just unpack the files to your Geovision folder and start the system as you normally do. You are not supposed to run the "DMWebcam.exe" directly, it is called from the main Geovision application. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of my friends, they mentioned that eventhough they had done some patches with it but yet it doesnt really worked out as it is. What should they do ? Reinstall the application ? or some other solutions ? Thank you in advance. Regards, Hughie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 0 Posted May 22, 2006 It hasn't happened to me in a while now. Probably will now since I said this. There is a password DLL file that is part of the patch which fixed a problem I had with the program crashing when trying to enter the password mode. I backed up the existijng version of the webcam program file and the DLL file just in case. Let us know how it works out for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
