Hi everyone. One of my computers has an older version of the software. I am wondering if anyone is able to play all new models on an older version of the software? I only use the 720p files.

I believe that the short anwer to this question is - no.

A slightly longer answer is that in order to properly play the clips that were released as "crystal clear+" you need one of the two (or possibly three) latest version of the software. It is my understanding that this is true even at the lower resolutions.

The official answer is 'No'

The answer to the question that the OP is wondering about is 'Yes'

Thanks for the answers. I had not been having problems with this, but recently had a problem with a card not downloading and wondered if this was part of the issue. I was ***** because it's not a higher number card than others I have but was released later. I guess I'll end up trying another recently released card and see what happens. The later versions of the software are just always crashing on me.

@cxsn - Cards released on or after Oct 25 2019 do not seem to download onto older versions. The download ***** instantly and hovering the mouse over the red download ***** notice shows a message that reads 'Server error (0)' Probably a measure to enforce the usage of the latest versions only. I can still download and play cards, including 'crystal clear + prior to that date.

It also seems to me that if your older version is still registered as one of your installs then you should be able to download with the later, buggy version and then copy the downloaded files onto your older machine.

@cxsn,

Chicsans’ view that the current release is buggy is not share by many in so far as I am aware and she has a personal view that she should have no need to upgrade her version of the software to accommodate changes in back end processing that Totem may decode to make.
So I would suggest that in this regard, that you take her opinions with “a grain of salt”.

The later versions of the software are just always crashing on me.

Not my words, but I read that as being buggy. Maybe I should have quoted the entire post that I was answering to for the benefit of any moderators that are too lazy to read beyond the last post in a thread.

Have a nice life.

Apologies if I am hijacking the thread, but just a question. I am not updated to the latest version just released. I have no intention on becoming a Premium member at this time, 3K is great for me. Everything currently is working fine on my end. Is it necessary to update to the latest version? I am on a Mac desktop Current version 1.2.235

@Nebal
You answered at your own question :

Everything currently is working fine on my end.

So, you can keep this version, until it doesn't work anymore.
