Error Reporting
The SGI Media Server reports three types of errors:
• MVCP command syntax errors
• Controller errors
• Unit errors
MVCP Command Syntax Errors
All MVCP commands return error responses for syntax violations—for example,
entering a letter instead of a number.
Controller Errors
All controller and non-unit errors, such as errors in renaming or deleting a clip, return a
generic notification that something failed. To receive more specific information about the
most recent global error that occurred for a specific controller, use the ERR command:
ERR
This command returns an error code and a short description.
Unit Errors
Unit errors are errors in the execution of unit commands, such as PLAY, REC, and FF.
When looking at the status of a unit, you might find it in the error state, as described in
“Status” on page 119. In that case, you might like to get more information about the error.
To return unit errors, use the following UERR command:
UERR unit-name
