Blue Iris UI3

A user on the BI software forum brought to my attention a possible problem with V6.0.1.8 aand UI3. It seems if an alert is deleted in UI3, it immediately removes it from BI but the UI3 screen does not update and leaves a "greyed out" place holder of the deleted alert, a refresh of the browser window fixes the display, I have only tested this using the chrome browser so I am not sure if it is only a chrome problem or not, I will test it on MS Edge and post back, I do not have a system with Firefox at the moment to test

That behavior is by design to prevent having a jarring layout shift in your clip list.

Thanks; I passed this on to the user on the BI software forum

Haven't had time to thoroughly test this, but I seem to have a "new" problem with 6.0.1.8 and the UI3 links sent with Pushover alerts: they now don't open the exact clip I'm expecting, but rather some more or less random (but within the same hour) time from the correct camera. It may be from roughly a minute behind the expected time/clip, up to a half hour or so beforehand. Very bizarre, but for now I'm going to roll back to 6.0.1.7 to see if it goes back to normal.

Edit: Yes, moving back to 6.0.1.7 fixed this completely, even for the exact same (older, recorded with 6.0.1.8) clips that wouldn't link correctly from UI3 Pushover alerts under 6.0.1.8.

You should contact Blue Iris support about this. On 2025-12-23, I was notified of an issue where database compact operations (which happen nightly by default) were causing clips and/or alerts to get assigned different "locators"/"identification numbers". This would cause alerts or links sent the previous day to often open the wrong item the next day. Ken suggested that he was going to change the record locators to "a longer form record number which survives the compact operation". The change log says this change was included in BI 6.0.1.8, but clearly there is a bug in the change.
