Playback file creation after update

Recommended Posts

While testing 6.0.8, show player, I found that ALL of my 60 odd sequences were having their playback files created again. Most of these had not been touched since the last tests a few days ago, and no changes to my Preview have been made. Would it be expected that an S6 update would trigger the playback file creation process and if so is it necessary.

We are working on changes for playback file creation that is not completed yet, but a software update should not trigger the playback files to be created. Do you recall what the player log was listing as a reason?

What I was seeing is for unknown reasons, playback file creation was happening due to either preview having been changed, which is totally understandable. I was also seeing a lot of playback files being created due to them being "Out of Date" for anywhere from minutes, hours or days. That part was not reasonable. Another interesting tidbit was seeing the sequencer change flag on when opening a sequence, for no apparent reason(s). Sure, a change to the preview in some other sequence would trigger this or probably the update to S6 to a higher level, but it still happened when neither of these were involved.

I updated my server before leaving work yesterday and the landscape show did not trigger playback file creation when it started:

No I missed it.
