Tom, never did hear back from the development team on the first incident. I can get you the ticket number as well as the more current one if you would like to follow up. The first one was over two months ago. Hence like a black hole it goes in but never comes back out.

My ticket is only a few days old, so I'm willing to give them a little longer before following up. But the anecdotal evidence on this thread at least raises the possibility that there are some significant bugs in 1.3.5.1, and therefore some guidance from Barco sooner rather than later would be welcome. My customer who is having problems is a very high profile establishment in Hollywood, and so I don't want to try a rollback if this risks causing problems as well as solving them.

Also i can confirm that upgrading to 1.3.5.1. losses raid data in commander, while in communicator it shows corectly.

the little green men in the big black hole have informed me that a fix is implemented in v1.3.5.2. To be released next week.

I guess it's worth waiting for the little green men to push out 1.3.5.2, but has anybody downgraded from 1.3.5.1 to e.g. 1.3.4.3 without issues?

I didn't want to without advice from a Barco tech that there was no extra risk involved. My fear is that if 1.3.5.1 has caused any corruption to the back end database, another software version waking up and not seeing a valid database structure might just refuse to work at all. At present, my customer's installation appears to be working OK apart from the dashboard glitch.

Tom - many thanks for following up.

I also did leave two ticket with similar issues on Barco support. Anyway i do not think corruted raid has do anything with 1.3.5.1 version. I have one that wake up with error and always is something bad with raid....after check it says it is ok, but after next power on, same again.....it was same with old version (a year old, cannot remember number) and now after upgrade with latest. Waiting for operator to do backup of files as this is single screen, so we can do raid initialization.

Important to note that both my problems happened prior to upgrading to 1.3.5.1.

Tom, I will send the numbers to you privately. It maybe that because the reinitialization of the RAID eliminated the problem the case was closed the first time.

ICMP 1.3.5.2 is out:
