Hi Laurent,

The thing you want is forward compatibility, i.e. read with a older
version the output of a newer version. This is almost never the
case for software.

I expect the in v2.23/12 added 'StreamerInfo facility' to cause the
problems => i.e. the format of the files changed => no forward
compatibilty. You therefore have to move all your platforms/users to
latest version (or forget about newest)

Cheers,

Rutger
