Hi, this is a known BUG and happens if you have

2 clips with the same name
2 clips in different folders with the same name -> Ok, this is fixed

Could it be that you have one of this with in your media folder? That would be the case if you have a video and image named the same, or a template and a video etc.

I will fix this in the next time.

One warning: I fixed that BUG,

BUT, clips, audios and image should never share the same name in one folder. CasparCG Server will not be able to play all of it because it will never know if you meant the movie, image or audio.

Example: Lets say we have the files logo.mp4, logo.png, logo.wav if you send play 1-1 logo to the server, it will always play the logo.mp4!

So please make sure that all filenames differ even if the are of different types.
