Remote access issue with BI 6
@Techie007L didn't really explain why it is happening. The theory is that you could be getting burned by Blue Iris's new "security" features which automatically ban IP addresses suspected of being unwanted automated traffic. You can search the Blue Iris 6 changelog for the word "ban" to find...- bp2008

Package Thief flips my house off
Who exactly calls the police in this scenario? And what crime is it to put a potato clock in a cardboard box outside your house?- bp2008

Other people can stream your feed.
Consider doing a youtube livestream. There are also some dedicated IP camera streaming services out there but they charge a subscription fee whereas youtube will let you livestream for free. Many other solutions are going to involve a much bigger learning curve and potential risks. For...- bp2008

Things my spouse or partner does that drives me nuts!
I have many of the same gripes but not from a spouse or partner. I live with two brothers. One of them is a big-time germophobe, so he almost can't walk past a sink without washing his hands. That would be fine, except he gets water everywhere because he always goes for paper towels before... -
UI3 version: 320 Blue Iris version: 6.0.5.1 - White screen
A white-screen failure is new to me. You say the screen turns completely white except for a red error box. Is it actually the entire screen or is it only the rectangle used by the video player? Can you recognize if the error box is one of UI3's error toast messages? They look like this near...- bp2008

Holy crap, $450 for a WD purple 10TB drive now!
For years I have just been buying used or refurbished hard drives. Only those verified to have no bad sectors. And I've had no more failures than I used to get from buying new. The prices are a lot higher than they used to be but I believe they are still cheaper than buying new. Ebay tends...- bp2008

CPU usage after upgrading to BI 6 ?
They did mess around with hardware acceleration around the end of BI 5.x and start of 6.x. You should complain to Blue Iris support because that is a huge performance regression. In the meantime, are you using sub streams in your Blue Iris configuration? It'll save a massive amount of CPU if... -
Blue Iris UI3
@lasocean best to email Blue Iris support about it if you have time. It is not a UI3 bug -- it is Blue Iris. -
Full screen video streams are in slow motion post BI6 update
Well I know BI 6 broke and then fixed (months later) the Nvidia hardware encoding. I don't know what if anything changed with decoding. I really don't know what else could be wrong to cause this. Everything you've shown or told me about your configuration seems like it should be fine. Seems... -
Full screen video streams are in slow motion post BI6 update
I do see that you are currently using Nvidia hardware decoding on all those cameras. I do not know if that is in a good functional state right now but my past experience with Blue Iris's hardware acceleration says you just shouldn't use it anymore. -
Full screen video streams are in slow motion post BI6 update
That helps yeah. Oh, for some reason they labeled the hardware acceleration dropdown "Hardware assist" in that panel, I didn't realize that. The encoder settings all look fine (which they should; they look like the defaults!). The status screenshot shows proper, consistent setup of codecs... -
Full screen video streams are in slow motion post BI6 update
I am not familiar with this. Can you screenshot? Weird compatibility issue I guess. H.265 is likely to never be as robust as H.264 in web browsers. And even H.264 has issues sometimes. This doesn't make sense to me. If you contact support about it, I think it would be a good idea to... -
Bullet proof power supply build
For a smaller ecoflow kit (1024 watt hours if that is enough for your purpose) there is Delta 3 Classic for around $450. I use one right now as a UPS for my gaming computer with an RTX 5090 in it, because a traditional UPS could not quite handle the peak watt load, not to mention the pathetic... -
Bullet proof power supply build
If you really want to build it all out with your own choice of batteries, inverter, charge controller, etc, then you should be able to find 5 kWh server rack style LiFePO4 batteries for around $800 each which is a steal. Wiren | Server Rack Battery | 48V 100AH currently out of stock there but... -
Merged/Spanned Disks in BlueIris - Possible?
Blue Iris will even let you record to a network share so I am sure whatever spanning solution you find will create a new drive letter in Windows, and Blue Iris will be fine with it. As others have noted, the main concern is "what happens to the spanned pool if a drive fails?" I used to use...
