Who the hell still uses Windows Vista? You drive a Tesla and still have Vista?

LoL I don’t use Windows at all, had to dig out this laptop to run this program.

What video format does it look for?

I still use Windows 7. Windows 10 is crap.

New version of Sentry Keeper is available on my website.

Have you heard about the new codec for dashcam video in 2019.16? Will this require an Sentry Keeper update?

I did hear about this. As long as windows media player plays it, it should be ok but winnfred above suggests it's not... Haven't had anyone be able to play in WMP but not in Sentry Keeper yet.

I'm probably not going to be able to test this until I return from a business trip in July.

Thanks, I installed Vista’s Serv Pack 2, will generate some new files tomorrow and try it again.

I work in IT and windows 7/Vista was far more problematic than windows 10 ever was, even at its worst... 10 is currently quite good and stable, in fact.

Except for when it was deleting user's files

Thank you for writing this. It works great on Win 10.

I went to www.mediaplayercodecpack.com and downloaded the Codec for Vista and it works now. Thanks again! Great program.

What is the local folder structure needed to be able to play these files?

I had Manually copied a few video sets (front, left repeater, right repeater) and when I pointed the application at the folder containing the files, I received an error message. Do I need to setup a certain folder structure within my hard drive to play files copies from a Flash Drive?

Folder is TeslaCam just like its written there. you hit the Browse for file, direct it to your Flashback Drive

From there you can Archive the files into the TeslaCam folder on your local drive.

Let me know what the error is. I may have time to do one more bug fix release before I leave next week.

Thank you very much @astrowunder - I installed it (default settings) and ran it successfully on Windows 10 on Surface Pro 4.

The bottom third of some of my videos are garbled, but that's not related to your program since it's in the source video files.

Thanks so much! so I have a folder with 3 files. One complete set of front, left and right but if I try to open this folder, I get the error messages in each of the 3 windows: Left Repeater File doesn't exist | Front Repeater File doesn't exist | Right Repeater File doesn't exist

Does the directory I point the application need to have a certain folder structure when the files are stored on the local drive and not a USB drive?

I've been using ver 0.1.0 for a few weeks now and just upgraded to 1.0.3. I like the new features. Works great Thanks a lot for making the app available.

The next 'over the air update' will allow me to diagnose the 'edge cases' better Hopefully coming tomorrow.
