Re: Moved to .22 on new box, but recordings not playing

Hi,
Thanks for your help. I recommend you change the docs to specify the host and the ip, since in my world host names resolve to IP's, and are not neccesarily used as unique id's
I changed the IP of my new server to that of my old, and everything works again.
