Agent DVR

Important!

If you are on version 4.1.1.0 or below and are running Linux or OSX or Docker then you will need to stop Agent before re-installing (backup the files in the AgentDVR folder first in case you have problems!):

  • LINUX: sudo systemctl stop AgentDVR
  • OSX: sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ispy.agent.dvr.plist

Then open a terminal window, go to where the existing AgentDVR folder is, for example ~/Desktop and run the install bash command for your OS from the download page. This is due to an FFmpeg and dotnet version bump. Running a normal update on these platforms will just reinstall v4.1.1.0. The installer will restart the service.
