Blue Iris UI3

Ok, I guess I'm just glad that it wasn't me not being able to figure it out. :p Thank you!
 
Hello,

I have a startup command that opens my MS Edge browser every morning with the IP address & port number of my Blue Iris and leave it displayed on one of my monitors all day.

At some time, this morning the order of the cameras (11) abruptly reversed. What I'm used to being the first (upper left) camera is now the last (lower right). But it is only that way in UI3. If I open Blue Iris directly (on another computer) the camera order is the way it has been for months. If in Blue Iris, I edit the layout by reversing the last two cameras, in my UI3 window the first two cameras are reversed.

This reversed layout of UI3 occurs with MS Edge or Firefox on any of 4 computers in my home network.

Can someone please help me understand/fix this?

This is a known issue in the latest version of Blue Iris which was released yesterday. You can downgrade to the previous version or just live with it until they fix it. It is advisable to not let Blue Iris install updates automatically, or at least allow only critical and highly stable updates.

Yup I confirm 5.9.9.80 has fixed it for me too.

Downloading the update file took ages because Blue Iris's web hosting infrastructure is very basic, probably just one server with a gigabit network connection or something.

This. I love BI but, man, I feel like the software is still stuck in the 90s in some ways. Maybe v.6 will change my mind.

I am kind of expecting v6 to be the least significant major version update yet, with some of its "new features" having already rolled out in version 5.9.9.x. Like the clip database which he said is version 6. And the upping of the camera limit to 128.

There's not a huge financial incentive from releasing a new major version with a batch of new features all at once, thanks to BI having a pay-for-updates model since the 5.0 launch. People just upgrade when they feel it is worth it. And 5.x came with a lot of great upgrades over the years.

There's a psychological effect still for a major version update, so Ken might be saving up something a little special for the 6.0 transition such as a feature or two or a re-skin of the local console if he's feeling inspired. But I wouldn't expect it to be as high a priority to "wow" people with the 6.0 launch as it was at 5.0 or 4.0.

Now it is just, like, some time within the next 20 patches he needs to increase the major version to 6.0.0.0 otherwise his versioning system breaks.

It is with mixed emotions I added my "Like" to your post: you are probably right on target with your assessment, but I am hoping for at least a few genuinely new features, at a minimum it will be a psychological perk for rolling over to Version 6.x.x.x.

Thanks (???) for being the voice of reason in the room....greatly tempered expectations now.;)
 
heck, I'm still rejoicing that Digital River/MyCommerce is out of BI's picture.....:headbang::love:
