has been correctly packaged with this release.

3: Known Issues / Limitations
- To upgrade to Watch Commander 1.4, user must uninstall the previous
version of Watch Commander first to remove the previous Wowza version.
Wowza is not included in the new Watch Commander 1.4 installer and must
be installed separately. The Wowza installer, as well as the User Guide
for instructions for installing Wowza and Watch Commander are included
on the .iso.
- When watching a live stream:
- If application is configured to only allow live streaming when
vehicle is actively recording, then:
- there is no indication on the vehicle list that a vehicle
cannot be live streamed
- No roles / security groups that differentiate access between in-car
streaming and interview room streaming
- Unable to stream from vehicles with apostrophes in the EL vehicle
name
- If Watch Commander is running on the same web server/IP as Evidence
Library 4 Web, they must have different ports. Evidence Library 4
Web runs with port 443 by default if installed for HTTPS. Therefore
Watch Commander may need to be assigned a different port, and the URL
to access it will need to include the port number.
