Re: [Avid-L2] Help with EditShare AvidStyle error

That's correct - spaces can be Managed, Unmanaged or AvidStyle - set when the space is created.

As far as I remember, the server volume has to be created as Avid Style in order for that to work. Unmanaged I think was typically for Premiere or other application workflow, so I do not believe it contains the Avid Style locking capabilities. I could be wrong - it's been a while since I used and managed EditShare servers. However, you may still be able to access stuff there, just without the bin locking.

Not sure it is that simple as the OP can access the Unmanaged media spaces ... we have a big Editshare at my university and there's more to it than that. I'm not a support engineer so I can't help further, sorry.

Without any knowledge of the system, I'd guess that this is a permissions issue.  Are the clients Mac or Windows?  Look for permissions . . . .

SHORT STORY:

Help please! When I go to Enable AvidStyle and Avid AFP I get this error window popping up.  I don't know what this means or how to resolve it.  There is not an admin to contact.  System is not under support contract.

MacOS 10.13.6

EditShare 7.2.2.5

LONG STORY:

During the pandemic a company went under.  Someone I know ended up with some gear and stuck it all in a closet.  They now want to try and get this stuff up and running and asked if I would help.  I got EditShare Unmanaged working.  I'm now trying to get AvidStyle working to be able to do Unity style bin locking.  On the Manager I made spaces and I can get them to mount on the clients.  But when I go to Enable AvidStyle (per the manual) on the client I get this message that it can't access AvidStyle files.  I have not been able to find a resource that explains what that means or how to fix it.  The system is long long out of support.  Anyone here able to point me to a decent resource?

Thank you very much.

Jay
