Workaround:

Try one of these workarounds:

Upgrade to groov Admin version 1.570.49.
Then, restore the project from within groov Admin.

Restore to factory defaults

1.    Use groov Admin to back up the project.
2.    Reset the groov Box to factory defaults.
3.    Install all the necessary updates.
4.    Then, restore the project onto the same groov Box.

Use groov Admin to back up the project.
Then, restore the project onto another groov Box Edge Appliance.
With this option, you'll be able to restore the project to the original groov Box only after you've installed the fix to this issue.
