latest 6.0.8.1 runs terribly slow on UI3 compared to 6.0.6.9

Hi All

had blue iris for a few years on my optiplex 7060 i5-8500T CPU @ 2.10GHz, 2112 Mhz + 16gb Ram , and now since the last update it the timeline view on UI3 via the browser is so slow its unusable. I've had to go back to 6.0.6.9 for it to run smoothly.

Anyone had similar issues?

Thanks alot
 
I just tested 6.0.8.1 and yes the timeline playback is extremely broken. Using the timeline through UI3 for even a few seconds caused (1) for the video to stall for 10+ seconds, (2) for Blue Iris to crash, (3) for the Blue Iris service's next startup to not work correctly -- the clip list wouldn't load and the GUI wouldn't respond. A brief test with 6.0.8.0 in the day(s) previous did not reveal any such issue to me.
 
My attempt to download and install BI 6.0.8.0 fails twice when what is installed each time is 6.0.7.7. I'm downloading from the update bot from on here, however my downloaded files have the same file sizes, Size 62.7 MB (62724344 bytes), Size on Disc 62.7 MB (62726144 bytes) the same as a downloaded file for 6.0.7.7.

In recent months I only "install latest critical or highly-stable update", currently though this download is also the "latest update available".

I'm starting to think that there are too many BI6 updates that are being released without proper testing.
I am wondering how many users are using BI6, plus I am not seeing so many recent post here on IPCT about BI.

What would be a current highly stable update that does not crash, it was better a month or so ago here.

The issue is NO TWO systems are the same. So what works on his test machine before he rolls out an update works fine, but maybe you have a problem based on the hardward and software in your system.

Heck look how many times apple sends out an update and rolls another one out quickly to fix a bug in it and those are all on hardware they designed.

That is why most here stay on a stable version of BI until they add something you want.

To me the only change was adding it's own AI. I may update eventually, but CodeProject works for me so I am not risking updating until I have time to fix it if it goes south.

Updating with every update opens you up to problems. Even updating to the highly-stable update can be an issue as you are seeing. Did they add something in that update you wanted? If not, roll back to the previous one that worked well on your system.

6.0.8.2 here. just checked a few playback videos. LPR cam playback was sharp enough to see the plate #.
Checked the timeline playback by scrubbing back and forth and letting it play all 14 cams view.
Both thru my VPN on 5G LTE and on Wifi using Tail scale IP from VPN.
Seems to be ok.

All my UI3 settings are completely default.
Because I am completely a NooB on UI3.
Looks really cool on a 65" TV though :)
 
Progress here, I have been on 6.0.8.4 for a couple of days without any crashes on spikes in cpu. With 8 cameras cpu is typically between 5 to 10%. I use a HP SSF Intel 17-7700 system 16Gb with GPU a 40w Nvidia T600 Turing 4Gb DDR6 640 cuda cores.

So why no crashes here now? I revisited my BI setting for AI this time following the advice in the BI HELP file, I realized I had configured a far too high a number for max analyzers, as "each concurrent session may require up to 1GB of RAM". I then reduced the number to 8 Globally and mostly 3 for individual cameras.

So thanks for the endorsement here of 6.0.8.4, it was me who was a bit too enthusiastic about what my AI feature could support with my modest GPU.:)

Thats interesting , mine was up at 32 for 9 cameras. Where abouts is the individual setting for this?
Thanks
 
i'll have to learn more about the AI and models, I tinkered around with reducing models, then lost my plate reading box. Then I got home from work and did some searching about yolov8 vs yolov10 and what the "n-m &s" versions mean.
so now I've switched to yolov10s.onnx.
seems to work fine.
max analyzers are set to 5.
i was getting a double license plate box with redundant plate reads. so i turned off object detection setting for 12 hours and will check it when i get home from work for redundant plate reads.
