Hikvision NVR channel shuffle after IP camera reboot (6.1.3)

Same issue as the closed thread https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/25972316163863-Hikvision-NVR-Channel-Shuffle . We're on Nx Witness 6.1.3 with a Hikvision DVR (7 IP/analog channels, encoder licences). When one IP camera rebooted (ch18), every channel after it shifted: the Front Door device started showing ch19's stream (.../channels/1901) and archive was recorded under the wrong camera until the media server restarted and rebuilt the list. The DVR's own channel mapping never changed. Is there an ETA for the workaround you mentioned, or a way to pin an NVR channel device to a fixed channel number without moving it to a Pro licence?

  Hello,
  
  Running into the exact same issue here on version 6.1.3 with a Hikvision DVR/NVR setup using encoder licenses. When an individual channel or IP camera reboots, the dynamic channel index re-mapping causes subsequent streams to shift (e.g., channel streams and archives getting scrambled across wrong device IDs until a full media server restart forces a list rebuild).
