    Blue Iris UI3

    :) Yes if it shows 319 on the about page, then you didn't put the update in the correct place. There's no need to restart the Blue Iris service when updating UI3. Just reload the UI3 page. I am guessing you extracted to the wrong path. Make sure login.htm and ui3.htm go into www, and...

    Blue Iris UI3

    The direct to wire checkbox in camera settings > Webcast tab is only there to allow you to prevent direct-to-wire working with particular cameras (in case that camera specifically won't play nicely with direct to wire). Your camera encoder settings all look fine except you didn't turn off the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    :( Thanks for testing. I'm not sure what to do at this point. It is possible I could detect frame rendering by (very inefficiently) copying the <video> element to a canvas at every screen refresh and comparing all the pixels with the previous frame to see if they changed. This would only...

    Blue Iris UI3

    If I am not mistaken I've seen both H.264 and H.265 being used (via stats for nerds in screen recordings that have been shared here). Things are pointing at this being a new bug in Chromium that is not codec-specific, but rather more generalized to the HTML video rendering pipeline. I have no...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Well @erkme73 your live streams (of single cameras only) are using direct-to-wire so the video is coming from an entirely different encoder which can have serious compatibility effects. I did not ask about direct-to-wire though because you were reporting this for clips (which do not support...

    Please try UI3-320 from here: Releases · bp2008/ui3 I've added that new frame rendered detection method. Please let me know if the stalling issue continues.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Ok I just made sure my Edge and Chrome are both fully updated and neither has this issue yet. Tried on two physical machines with Nvidia graphics and one virtual machine. Both Chrome and Edge latest versions. Chrome Version 147.0.7727.102 (Official Build) (64-bit) Microsoft Edge Version...

    Blue Iris UI3

    The videos so far have told me it probably is not i-frame related because it breaks after a different number of frames each time. I checked myself, Blue Iris did not suddenly start supporting Direct-to-Wire in clips. Lets check on a few more basics. These questions are for everyone...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Ok so this is a tricky issue with a long history. Years and years ago (surely 5+ years) I would have the video randomly freeze when using the HTML5 player, mainly in Android Chrome. Nobody ever complained about this issue to me so I don't think it was super widespread, but I had it happen all...

    Blue Iris UI3

    It is less efficient. And technically more dated. You are correct on both points. Trouble is I have no way of knowing what is causing the HTML5 video player to stall. You could try a different web browser, or in an incognito/private window with no browser extensions running. Or maybe...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @erkme73 Try a different H.264 player in UI Settings. Looks like the HTML5 player is just stalling.

    BI behing nginx and proxy_pass problem 502 Bad Gateway

    I've run every version in the 6.0.4.x series so far and had no trouble. I also use nginx for a reverse proxy currently. This probably is not worth much, but I would configure Windows firewall with a simple TCP 81 rule that is not specific to blueiris.exe. It is just going to behave a bit more...

    UI3 Fail Getting Camera List, Busy Loading Timeline Loop.. Repeats.

    Try BiUpdateHelper which has a button you can click to read the license key from the registry (after you've imported from your .reg file). If attempting to reactivate has wiped your registration key out of the registry, you'll need to reimport from your .reg backup. (then use BiUpdateHelper...

    Blue Iris UI3

    That camera group is most likely configured to be a fixed aspect ratio in Blue Iris, which disables UI3's ability to demand its own aspect ratio. Use Blue Iris's edit layout button, then right click in its video area and find the group-level aspect ratio control.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Indeed, all I'd know how to do is what you are already trying. When you've created your fake narrow/tall cameras, go into Blue Iris's layout editor and right click the fake cams and make sure they were not assigned a "Height" of "2x" as Blue Iris has been known to do with cameras it thinks are...

    What is causing this issue?

    That is not necessarily true. TCP guarantees delivery of data packets in the correct order and with no packets missing or corrupted. Packet loss on the network can cause the stream to slow down and become delayed temporarily as packets are retransmitted, so it is not great for low latency live...

    What is causing this issue?

    Many years ago I used to have a problem just like that with a Chinese camera that was corrupting its own video stream due to buggy firmware. The only way to fix it was to upgrade the firmware to something with the bug fixed. Since there are so many things that can possibly go wrong, it is...

    If the VPN is configured to route all traffic through the VPN tunnel then it should be no surprise if local things stop working.

    Blue Iris UI3

    A few things: In UI3, right click the group video, choose Group Settings. There, you can disable Fit to Viewport and lock in a specific aspect ratio. Tune to your taste. In Blue Iris local console, click the Edit Layout button in the top bar next to the group list dropdown. Then right click...

    No :( You can only do that from the local console, in the camera settings > PTZ > Edit presets. Select a preset there and click the little photograph button and BI will capture a new thumbnail.

    OMG Thermal!

    Neat. I've never seen any of my thermal cams close a shutter due to a high temperature object in view. But I'm not sure mine have ever seen a bonfire. :lmao: They have, however, seen the sun on pretty much a daily basis.

    FPS fluctuations in UI3

    There are a number of possible causes. It is a low latency streaming pipeline, so brief network interruptions will cause FPS to drop, recover, go above its normal FPS as the stream "catches up", and then level off. Blue Iris is also usually transcoding the video in realtime from the source...

    NACL and direct camera access

    Pale Moon 32 bit is my go-to web browser for older cameras that need web plugins. Although some older cams actually do require Internet Explorer. The vast majority of cameras I've used do not require a plugin for editing the IP address, and let me skip the prompt to install the plugin.

    Acceleration for Built-in AI?

    Nvidia 700 series graphics cards are 13 years old and out of driver support. Those are particularly low end models too with low memory bandwidth. I wouldn't expect them to accelerate anything. Best you could hope for is to offload some of the work from the CPU and system RAM, but even then I...

    Suggestions for protecting the CCTV imaging cell from direct sunlight

    I would not worry about it too much. The sensor damage is minor in my experience and is isolated to areas where the sun was directly visible. Here's my IPC-Color4K-X that gets lots of direct sun exposure. Do you see this dark curve through the center of the view? That is the path of the...

    Optimal camera BI setting

    The screenshots you shared show Blue Iris is processing 20 FPS but is unable to stream 20 FPS to UI3, which is not a surprise for a 16 megapixel resolution source. Blue Iris normally does transcoding to get the video out to UI3, and it struggles to handle even normal 4K at 30 FPS. Double 4K at...

    Tail Scale VPN

    It is not what I'd call super easy to set up, but the general idea is you register a domain using Cloudflare (or transfer one in from another domain host), then set up a Cloudflare Tunnel which is where a machine (e.g. Blue Iris machine) on your network establishes an outbound connection to...
