Re: Direct to Disk recording

My experience is as TimG understands it to be. BI D2D doesn't take anything from the camera feed that isn't already there - date, day time and camera "name" from my Hikvisions - but the weather info I add after the fact is lost when D2D is used.

Re: 5.2.2.0 Update

Well that's something to look forward to. I just did a Check for Update and it says my 5.2.1.4 is up to date so no 5.2.2.0. Maybe they were watching and it was quickly yanked(?)

Re: Graphics card for monitor display?

On my Home Theater (not BI) PC I run the camera app (Hikvision in my case) for display only which runs with ridiculously low overhead, and even considerably and inexplicably less network usage for the same six cameras. I run that app full screen and send it to four TV's (and a projector when in use)...

Any chance you accidentally selected the Pause button in the top right of the UI? That will give this result

Re: Graphics card for monitor display?

Nvidia 2080? You rich kids! :lol: When I built my repurposed HP800 SFF i7 (no graphics card) as a dedicated BI machine I did the initial adjustments to optimize the CPU usage. Then I moved from the small monitor I set it up with to a larger 1980x1200 monitor and all of sudden my CPU jumped significa...

Re: BiUpdateHelper - fixed

Well that's a helpful bit of info. I've updated (restored?) that file path and we'll see if I'm equally successful. In the interim I was just dragging the "update.exe" folder from the temp directory to the Blue Iris Program Files directory where it automagically renamed itself with update ...

Re: 5.1.0.4 Upgrade

Thixo - From the Main Menu under BI Settings Cameras tab "Double-click: Temporary full-screen" does nothing (bottom of page 66 of the current and ever updated help file)? Works as expected and as always for me. Loopy - CPU seems about the same for me And it turns out my BiUpdateHelper went...

Re: 5.1.0.4 Upgrade

My 5.1.0.4 x64 update was smooth sailing but your (TimG) cursing the darkness did light a candle. I checked my BiUpdateHelper backups and the last one was 5.0.9.2 on 2/2. I did a reinstall but if that doesn't fix it it might be time to investigate reddawg's solution.
