Blue Iris UI3
- Thread starter bp2008

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.
bp2008 Thank you for that info.
In fact, at this moment there is an update (5.9.9.80) that I installed, and it fixed the problem.
I will follow your suggestion and change my update settings to the Critical... setting.
Thanks again,
Dennis

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.....
Brian - just a big thank you for adding the "swipe to switch to next camera" ability when viewing solo cameras on a phone/tablet. It was the one remaining item I sorely missed from the app. Kudos.

It looks to me like the high-res jpeg loads but it is being rendered small like a normal thumbnail. Is this correct? I found the underlying issue causing that and submitted a bug report to BI support about it.
I notice that in BI3 that I don't have a "Current Group" view for "All cameras or index" like It does in the BI desktop console, is there a setting that I need or is this a bug? I am using Version 5.9.9.81 and windows 11 pro with a chrome browser for UI3
Assuming you mean "UI3" and not "BI3", click on the "Live View" tab at the top to reveal the "Current Group" (group names in a drop-down) or click on "Clips" tab at top then over on the top left click on "Filter by" right below your BI server's name and the group names available should pop back up (at least mine disappear when I reverse that process).
EDIT: BTW, my UI3 version is 296, Blue Iris version is 5.9.9.72

Ken replied, said it should be fixed for 5.9.9.82. (not released yet)
That is all correct and hasn't changed in UI3 going back all the way to version 1
If "All cameras" is not in the dropdown list then it means the web server user does not have permission to view all cameras.
Yes I did mean UI3, fat fingers!! When I access the drop down box by either method, there is only the names of the groups that I have created "Back_Side", "Front_Cameras", "Garage_Cameras", "Inside"! Is there supposed to be another built in group that includes all the cameras, did I inadvertently delete it somehow? It shows up in the BI console as "All Cameras" but not in UI3
How do I check if the webserver has permissions to view all cameras, I looked at the web server tab and the Advanced tab within it and I am no seeing any place for the permissions. I checked the user that I setup and it is has 'Administrator" privileges and does not have a check in the Limit to camera groups box

The user permission you found is the place I was referring to. The only other place I can think of where it could be disabled is what Tinman pointed at. Click the gear icon to the right of the "All cameras" dropdown in the local console.
and make sure "Enable group webcast stream" is checked Yes that does it, thanks very much. I had to hunt around to find the screen, the little gear icon beside the group drop down box on the BI console screen
