Viewing Browser in Multi-file mode

I'm having difficulty getting the browser to display a multi-file view, if I understand correctly what's supposed to happen. Here's what I'd like to do - view recordings from my two cameras at the same time. I've selected Multi-file from the Viewing mode dropdown box in Browser settings. But when I open the browser and select two cameras, the screen is blue.

Single-file viewing works perfectly.

What am I missing?

Edit: Maybe I missed this in the manual and have to wait for an entire 24 hours?

"In multi-file mode, the Browser displays a single 24-hour long movie for each day that contains all footage captured by the camera(s) you select, allowing you to play back synchronised footage from multiple cameras."

  • When you first open the Browser in multi-file mode it will display video from the start of the day (i.e. midnight), so it sounds like you simply don't have any video recorded at this time. If you press the right-arrow key on the keyboard, the movie display will jump to the next interesting time, when there actually is some video to display. Then you can play from there to view the synchronised video footage from both cameras.
