I'm not sure if this is related to the beta versions, but for some reason the last couple of releases (may be coincidence) my camera has been 'failing' out but then finishing a video save, Abelcam restarts the camera but doesn't re-enable the Video save option. I have to manually re-check it (or restart abelcam) to have the video save going again.

I looked in the self-check options, but I don't see anything I can configure to say "reload camera configuration", or anything that would let me have it restore video save.

So, has something changed that is causing the camera to fail out right after a video save now? Does it fail out if the HDD is not writing out the old file fast enough?

How can I get the 'self-check' piece to make the camera start recording again (it is set to do this in the camera configuration)?


Here is a Snippet of the Log:
