At the time, I think we just rebooted WebRemote. As a test, I created a separate page, placing new instances of each on that page, and I still could not Edit/Delete the units.

I've got this sorted in the next build, but I am not in front of my machine and cant send it to you till next week. Remind me or I"ll forget :)

This requires a recent version of Video Pitcher as well. I can't remember when I did this, it was a while ago but I dont know when I did the upload. If you go to the preferences in video pitcher you can now set a path into which to save automatically generated movies. In the new version that gets forwarded to web remote so that it can read those out as part of the interface. But you have to initialize the saving of them in XTension via the record from verb in Video Pitcher, in response to motion hits or just regularly. Again, I can send you new builds when I get back.

This is ignorable. It's just debug logging. It turns out that I dont reliably get an event when you change pages and the next few video frames can try to display into a page that is no longer open generating errors. If I get these errors now I stop the video stream because the page is no longer watching them. Before I figured out why I was getting so many errors though I added them all to the log. most or all of this is gone in the current build that I will send.

If you've got the directory setup and they aren't showing up then you just need to latest video pitcher build.

Ah, see, should have read ahead. Then it's saving them there, but not sending that info to WebRemote because it needs an update.

I dont do many upgrades to video pitcher and XTdb and the helper apps, but they have all had a lot of work lately with WebRemote which is why these things are confused at the moment. I'll get you sorted out next week.

Thanks,
