Blue Iris UI3

what about when playing in Timeline View when I'm "current" e.g. when Seek Position == LIVE?

Speaking of Seek Position == LIVE, is there a way to jump to this in the Timeline tab? I know F1 jumps to the Live tab, but I want to jump to "now" in Timeline tab.

Right now I get current by toggling to the Live tab and back to Timeline tab, but that seems inelegant.

Would Up Arrow, if there are no clips newer than the current playhead position, be a reasonable choice for this?

There is no hotkey to go live if that is what you are asking. But this button on the right of the timeline does it.

That button is green if you're already doing live playback.

I never knew!



Now I know.

What do you think of my idea for Up Arrow if there are no newer clips?

It is not easy to implement the hotkey that way, because the current behavior is for UI3 to tell Blue Iris to jump to the next event, and UI3 doesn't know what timestamp that is, or if there even is a next one.

Ah, so it would be a good idea, if it were possible

And now this is triggering deja vu with me, as if we'd had this conversation before!

Is it possible to add a button when long pressing a PTZ preset to just "Save Thumbnail" without saving over the preset?

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.

Darn, okay. Maybe I'll get around to emailing BI support to add an API endpoint to make it possible. Thumbnails sometimes randomly disappear so would be nice to have a quick way to save new ones.

Another Q..
Is there a way to remove dead/empty space between cameras and stack them tightly instead of evenly spacing them out? Perhaps through css (for a specific group)? The thought being to set up a group with a few cams that has a big empty space at the lower right that I can overlay other stuff on.
