Hello! I am trying to load a PVD file but I keep getting this error:

ERROR: In C:\glr\builds\paraview\paraview-ci\build\superbuild\paraview\src\VTK\IO\XML\vtkXMLPStructuredDataReader.cxx, line 424  
vtkXMLPRectilinearGridReader (0000024909CC0A50): No available piece provides data for the following extents:  
0 96 0 384 288 384  
0 96 288 384 0 96  
0 96 288 384 96 192  
0 96 288 384 192 288  
The UpdateExtent cannot be filled.

I am able to load files from this same origin that have a lower resolution but cannot load ones like this.  
This one specifically is a 4x4x1 model (x y z) where the z direction has 96 nodes and the x,y directions have 384,384 nodes

Any help is appreciated

Can you provide the `.pvd` file?

yes  
[output-ISORa1e4-96.pvd](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/72wBCEzrMAhUCPU5VmQbBVBgJbr.pvd) (171 Bytes)

the individual files listed there (.vtr) open fine by themselves, but not when called by the pvd file. I could open them one by one, but when i increase the resolution more it would not be viable
