White is often the sign of a missing or mismatched codec.
Check the versions of the Avid codecs on that machine compared to the other boxes. I’m betting it’s that.

The main difference for someone looking to do what you’re doing is that there are no real permissions and no way to manage access to users or the settings that users use. Each user in WG can edit their own settings as they want and can access all data.
For small, trusted groups, this can be fine.
Beyond that, know that a lot of the major media management features (MXF, RED and other exotic media handling etc.) are absent, but for a lot of shops that’s not a big deal.
If you need to catalog, tag and keep proxy of assets, WG is a great start and you can always upgrade which is nice.
My first rule of asset management is start today and just do what you can for now. The pile only gets deeper. 😉

Oh yeah, that. 😉
Yes, I tend to hide them when I can.

I’ve not seen anyone who can get shooters to reliably enter this data. (or much else for that matter) 😉
This would only go to apps that access the media directly so the metadata wouldn’t pass along, other than once you collect the metadata into CatDV, it can of course be transmitted to other apps by CatDV.
It’s weird that shooters don’t enter more data.

Russ, contact your reseller or JB&A.
The basics are this:
You need a version of CatDV Server and some web clients.
Then you can choose your hosting for that server. In-House, Cloud, whatever. You can also move the proxy into a cloud service if you like.
Your reseller or JB&A can direct you to some sample hardware and networking configs.
Perhaps you might even want to look at Akomi? (blatant plug warning)
Here is a bit of a topology overview of that and you can find other articles there about our servers etc.
CatDV Server is so flexible you can do all sorts of things with it.
Here’s one of their articles for instance on putting CatDV in a DMZ.

In the “publish” tab of Worker you can specify the Group. (Not the folder!)
The “Folder” is just a function of the name, although with the “/” in that name I’m not sure that it would work. Maybe try escaping the slash?

Hey John,
I’ve been off this board since NAB, lordy.
I’ve wondered about this for a long time. Most any level of a path is available using a regex so that’s how most folks who need it do it.
I think the main thing preventing this being a fixed variable is that Worker is cross platform and depending on the OS, the output would be very unpredictable. (OS X, vs. Drive Letters, vs. UNC paths) hence the decision to “count up” from the filename.
You are right to take this out to a separate script.

The thumbnails in CatDV Server are stored in the MySQL db so a very large thumbnail might not be the best way to address this.
Unless your db file count is very small, this could seriously impact performance.
Could you use an image proxy (which would not be in the db?) to cover this?

Without knowing the field layout, it’s hard to tell what a query would return, but it sounds like you’re getting it sorted.
Remember that as John says, you are gathering results with an “AND” typically “is blank” just means a field has nothing in it.
If I’m reading this correctly, in order for this to work, “Diversity” would need to be a field that has some sort of value entered, such as:
Field=College, value=Liberal Arts
Field=Diversity, Value=yesIf a record had the above situation, and you searched for:
College=Liberal Arts
Diversity= NOT blankit should work as “Diversity” is in fact, NOT blank AND you have a record with the College set as Liberal Arts. The selection of another field should not affect it UNLESS the value that you are searching for in “College” is not returning results.
Maybe try that search alone first and confirm that your “College” search returns results.

Duane, it does seem to have changed in the new version of Server. (I’m on 6.10.0)
I hadn’t thought about it but it is different from back in Version 10.
Let’s see what the dev crew says but know that there are tons of changes being done on the db these days to make it better, faster and stronger.
