Hi Chris Hope everything goes well, I am showing 1 second movies with MWork and independent of my input volume, I cannot import more that 672 files, and I think it’s a buffer problem (since I used shorter/smaller movies and yet 672 was the maximum files) So my question is how can I increase the buffer size or solve this problem to load more movies/files ?

Hi Elia, I’m not aware of any fixed-sized buffers that would lead to this issue, but I can think of a couple other potential causes. A few questions: - What happens when you try to load more than 672 movies? Does MWClient or MWServer crash? - How large is each movie file? Thanks, Chris ---

Hi Chris Sorry for the late reply, the email ended up in my spam folder So I received an error when I was trying to load the experiment and no matter if it’s small movies or even images , it’s still 672 ad a hard limit ---

Hi Elia, > So I received an error when I was trying to load the experiment and no matter if it’s small movies or even images , it’s still 672 ad a hard limit OK, but in order to figure out _why_ you’re hitting that limit, I need some information. To start, what is the error message you’re seeing? Also, if you want to send me the experiment file you’re trying to load, that could be helpful. Chris ---
