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

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... -
Full screen video streams are in slow motion post BI6 update
Hardware acceleration has been known to cause dumb issues like this sometimes in Blue Iris. When you tried turning off hardware acceleration, are you talking about encoding or decoding or both? When turning off hardware accelerated decoding, each camera instance needs to be restarted before it... -
Blue Iris UI3
Ahhh man I don't know. In that one, the video player ACTUALLY stalled and the stall detection did not kick in. The stall detection code that shows the yellow toast message "Detected HTML5 video player stall. Reopening video stream" is not user-configurable, and it looks for very specific... -

If you are running Blue Iris 6, then typically the Blue Iris 5 folder is not used anymore. Blue Iris 6 installs by default into a folder with no number in the name. Just "Blue Iris". -
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... -
Blue Iris UI3
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. -

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...- bp2008
