Device doesn't have Metadata Channel after upgrade......

Evening guys,

We are currently developing a application which creates data by reading frames, then spits them back out to the recording server. So far we have had much success, we created our hardware definitions within our own code base like so:

            HardwareDefinition hardwareDefinition = new HardwareDefinition(PhysicalAddress.Parse(macAddress), Model)
            {
                Firmware = "v10",
                CameraDevices =
                {
                    new CameraDeviceDefinition
                    {
                        Codec = MediaContent.Jpeg,
                        CodecSet = { MediaContent.Jpeg },
                        Fps = 8,
                        FpsRange = new Tuple<double, double>(1, 30),
                        Quality = 75,
                        QualityRange = new Tuple<int, int>(1, 100),
                        Resolution = "1920x1080",
                        ResolutionSet = { "1920x1080" }
                    }
                },
                MetadataDevices = { MetadataDeviceDefintion.CreateGpsDevice() }
            };

When we used XProtect Essential+, we could add these devices to our Recording server and you can see that there was a camera channel and a metadata device channel.

We have upgraded to XProtect Express as we required more cameras, however the recording server won’t pick up the metadata channels within our hardware definitions no more. Any Suggestions?

Cheers,

Chris.

Milestone XProtect Express does not have support for metadata. If possible; you should make a change so that you upgrade to XProtect Express+ (PLUS).

XProtect Corporate, Expert, Professional+, Express+ and Essential+ (c-code) all have metadata support. XProtect Professional and Express (e-code) does not have metadata support.
