I know this thread is old but interested to hear Bob’s and other people’s experience with 45Drives in the long term.

Hi Rachael,

Just throwing in my two cents to say that we use YoYotta for LTO backups to a single drive and it’s been a good experience, worth every penny we paid for it (and it wasn’t very many pennies when compared to the cost of the rest of our system!).

Thanks,
Jeff Schaap

This post is a little old but I will respond just in case it helps someone out there. We have and SNS EVO 80TB RAID and use it conjunction the YoYotta and a single LTFS drive. Whenever we get new footage we back it up to LTO and create a duplicate to go off site. We use CatDV to track what footage is on what LTO and have the assurance before deleting any of it off the RAID that it’s been backed up.

We’re a non-profit and this arrangement has proven to be very cost effective. The YoYotta software needs some development but is light years ahead of what we were using (Cache-A).

Thanks,
Jeff Schaap

Fast forward to 2018 where this is STILL a problem! Yes, people, for real.

– Imported clips from another project
– Sorted by name in list view
– Switch to icon view and order is random
– Select “Use List View” and order doesn’t change.
– Try all solutions in this thread, nothing works, bang head on wall

Finally:
– Create new bin, set to icon view
– In first bin, in list view, sort by name and then SELECT FIRST CLIP, HOLD SHIFT, SELECT LAST CLIP
– Drag to new bin, all is well

Come on Adobe, this is ridiculous. Fix it already. People are paying for updates.

[Jeff Schaap]

I have but, no solutions as of yet.

Found the solution! A guy from BM posted here:

https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=29855&p=183482&hilit=library+doesn%27t+show+drives#p183482

that you need to add any drives you want to appear in the library to the “Scratch Disk” list under Preferences > Media Storage. I did that, restarted and WHAM problem solved.

Blackmagic needs to fix this. I almost dropped even looking at it because I couldn’t figure this out.

[Jeff Schaap]

Same issue here. Downloaded lite, PC version and the only drive that appears in the library is c:\vol0… I am not sure what “vol0” is about. Frustrating. Was hoping to evaluate the grading and editing capabilities for our workflow but am not going to endlessly search posts for solutions… I was ready to give it a chance but I guess not. Hope BM gets this fixed.

WIPED HARD DISK?? Sigh… come on Adobe… I don’t have time to blow off my OS every time there is an update. I am on a HP Z820 and am having the exact same problem Christopher described above. I don’t show any processes “not responding” though. I also haven’t ever had Magic Bullet.

Anyone else found a way around this?

Dougal,

Thank you so much. The cmd /c and the quotes were what I was missing. I was able to get Worker to create a directory.

Still having a small issue though… The mkdir command I’m using is creating the “shadow path” to where I’ll drop new proxy files. Under the Mac I would do this:

mkdir -p /Volumes/maxxraid1/CatDV_Previews$p

and that worked great since $p was always:

/Volumes/maxxraid1/Footage/[rest of the path to file]

However, in the Windows environment $p includes the drive letter and a “:\” so the string becomes:

Y:\Footage\[rest of the path to file]

So when I try to do this:

cmd /C “mkdir Y:\CatDV_Previews$p”

it get interpereted as:

cmd /C “mkdir Y:\CatDV_Previews\Y:\Footage\[rest of the path to file]”

ARRGGHHH. So the Y:\ being in there screws up my methodology. I tried figuring out a regular expression that would drop the first three characters in $p but to no avail. Any thoughts on how to do that or another way out of the conundrum?

Many Thanks,
Jeff

Matt,

Thanks for the response. I did try it without the variable and got the same erro message. I also tried doing this:

echo $p $g > C:\variable.log

But got the same error except it said “echo” was the command it could not find.

Under “Execute command line 4:” I use a “move” command (instead of the “mv” command I used on the Mac) and that never throws an error (???).

Unfortunately, our version of Worker doesn’t have the handy “export these log files to a .zip” button. Can you tell me exactly which files you need and maybe where they are located and I can zip them manually.

Along the way I am so excited to hear yesterday that CatDV 11 is supporting AVCHD playback natively. This is going to change my life!! Thanks to everyone there for working hard to improve the product.
