Build 2.5 not starting after computer reboot

by yovinman » Mon Jul 27, 2015 2:11 am

First off, thank you for the latest build. So far, my problematic cameras have stayed connected. One of my computers is in an area where there are frequent power outages. I have set it up so the computer auto reboots when the power comes back on and I have put a shortcut to Sighthound in the Startup folder. Before build 2.5, everything seemed to work fine after a power outage. It seems that with this latest build, when the computer reboots, Sighthound gives an error message that the application could not be started right now and to try again later. Obviously this is a problem for me since I need the software to auto-start after the a computer reboot. Is this a bug or is there something I can do to get the software to auto-start reliably after a computer reboot? Thanks!

Hi yovinman,

The message you're seeing at start indicates that Sighthound was unable to launch in a timely manner due to low available resources. I'd recommend checking to see if there are any other programs launching at startup that may be hogging resources.

I'd be happy to take a look at your logs for anything unusual if you could send a bug report by going to Help > Report a Problem. Be sure to link to this forum post so we know it is you.

Regards,

-Devin
