  Hi @...,

  Did you touch nx_utils.ini and nx_network.ini in the mentioned directory?
  If so, did you use the testcamera application of the same version and build as the Nx Mediaserver application as you use?

  Hello Norman

  Thanks for your help

  I just did the touch command but seems the error is not solved.

  the testcamera version should be correct since I am using the testcamera which is in Nx Meta directory 

  cd /opt/networkoptix-metavms/mediaserver/bin/

  or could it be a problem to run in a ec2 (aws ubuntu 18.04) ? 

  when I last run the command:

  ubuntu@ip-172-31-10-172:/opt/networkoptix-metavms/mediaserver/bin$ ./testcamera -I 127.0.0.1 "files=hq1.mkv;secondary-files=lq1.mkv;count=100"

  Hi @...,

  Were the hq1.mkv and lq1.mkv files present in the /opt/networkoptix-metavms/mediaserver/bin directory?

  Can you try it with the samples we link to in the Testcamera support article?

  Great news @...!

  How did you resolve it? By adding the files to the correct directory or using the other files?
