Blu Iris app almost always works. But tonight no love. Th last time it failed to connect, I logged in via a browser (using the ip address) which fixed the problem, but doesn't work this time. I can log in via a browser on my phone but I cannot connect via the BI App.

I clicked Forget Server and scanned the QR code on the screen of the BI computer monitor. It thinks it is set up now. But selecting connect in the app just makes the little circle spin endlessly.

I renewed support a couple of weeks ago. Would that matter?

I restarted the BI PC, no luck.

I tried using OpenVPN which has worked in the past, but that too does not work.

I can access the BI PC using UI3 from another PC.

Any suggestions to get my blue iris app working again?

I figured it out, at least I was able to correct an incorrect setting that the BI PC QR code was sending to the app. The LAN address it was sending was the address of my second NIC which has the cameras. It should have sent the LAN address of the BI PC. When I manually changed the LAN the APP connects.

Does this mean I need to change the LAN address in Blue Iris?
