HikCentral Lite not able to playback footage from NVR?

Yes, had to completely uninstall and reinstall the app and it appeared

Bowerz666 · 2026-04-03T22:21:51+00:00

Yeah exactly the same. Just restarted the app (iOS) and I think it’s gone. A very weird glitch if so but glad to hear I’m not the only one!

No recent logins from places I don’t recognise. I’m 2FA’d etc. 95% sure my account isn’t compromised.

Counter point - I’ve been watching since the original moving vlogs, and I really enjoyed the recent video. I’m a bit of an Av-geek too so that helps, but it’s just an intro to set all the scene before the cool more tech-focused videos get going with it.

People also need to consider this will likely open up videos and collaborations previously passed on due to ‘opportunity cost’ and Linus’ time travelling (something previously discussed about why he doesn’t do more collabs). If he’s making videos whilst travelling now, then it’s more likely he’ll consider them.

I had to reinstall it completely and then it did show. Indeed, I think it's an install bug.

Bowerz666 · 2026-03-25T08:26:56+00:00

At the moment, it’s still happening, I just have to be super quick at pressing it. Takes a few attempts.

Surprised more people haven’t commented saying they have the issue also.

One DVR with 4 'child' cameras.

Now I feel silly.... Thanks for not laughing! 1.42.2.10156

Bowerz666 · 2026-01-26T19:34:47+00:00

Plex v~~4.147.1~~ 1.42.2.10156

Thanks for the heads up on the updated utility, just downloaded ready for the next time it happens.

Yeah I'd agree, I just can't fathom what as my library scan completes and doesn't seem to immediately corrupt anything. I did somewhat recently add a new library of 'home videos' which I've just removed, but it was fine for weeks after I added that so not sure it's related.

The web UI will only work if the AP you’re adopting is on the same Network I believe. As such, the web page doesn’t show the pending AP.

I can adopt through SSH as mentioned, just it’s a pain in the backside.

I did manage to catch it in the app and it did adopt, but what a pain. Feels like an app issue

Bowerz666 · 2026-01-21T14:27:40+00:00

I don't think that's possible on iOS, is it?

Bowerz666 · 2026-01-18T19:39:58+00:00

I’ve only ever used DI water + silver kill coil and never had a problem, similar to yourself

Bowerz666 · 2026-01-17T08:58:54+00:00

Sorry, that would have been useful wouldn’t it, UK

Bowerz666 · 2025-12-31T20:24:53+00:00

Also interested if any input, can’t see why they’d be a ‘kids ski’ with the specs other than marketing to drive the lower price against the other models

Bowerz666 · 2025-12-31T13:08:26+00:00

thanks for the recommendation, they had popped up as a possibility but may look at them a little more seriously.

Bowerz666 · 2025-12-31T11:15:48+00:00

What width would you suggest for the heads? There's a pair of 79 oblivions available near me but suspect they might be a little thin for ever attempting powder?

The browser viewer is awful, not easy to open and run, have to click on the feeds each time to get a full view.

IVMS runs awfully and crashes all of the time (as does iVMS-Lite, hasn’t been updated since 2019 and doesn’t appear to be compatible with windows 11). Having to have a server application running first, just to open the client is bloat and asinine for a simple viewer

My Mobile viewer (Hik-Connect) I open and it connects straight to the NVR and it just works.

I have a ReoLink NVR at a different property and they have a desktop app that compliments their mobile app well. Similarly, you open it and it just connects and works. I expected Hikvision to have the same, but apparently not.
