Now that I look, I see my clip storage on the NAS is down to about 1/2 of the available space when it normally runs at ~99% full. I'm not sure yet but the storage used doesn't seem to be going up, so maybe something is borked. I did a rebuild but didn't see any difference. I've been tempted to do a ...

Looks a message from the BI UI when the service is stopped to perform the update.

That's exactly what is it. There's some race condition going on with the updates; every once in a while it stumbles and this happens.

You're more than welcome to ask here and see if anyone can help out.

I caught it and got a screen shot...definitely a BI error. The larger dialog box appears and then the smaller one appears. They'll sit there like that forever or until someone manually clicks the OK button on the larger dialog box. Maybe Ken could put in a few seconds of delay or disable that dialog...

Hmmm, this sounds like it might be worth a letter to support; I don't know if this is something that's solvable here.

I am also losing all Alerts each time I upgrade :cry: I think the files are still there, but they disappear from the dates within Blue Iris so I'm unable to easily review footage. Will email support. It might be worth doing a database rebuild to see if that re-indexes them or straightens them out.

A Linux product can't be that much more work?? In any case, I do wish BI would offer a Linux solution. It would just make it that much better!! Thanks for your post, and be well. It probably would be quite a bit of work, to be fair. Although, with that said, I'd happily pay full price for BI again ...

But good question, where do the BI developers hang out to discuss all things BI? IPCamTalk, Reddit, Discord, YouTube comments, here???

There's only one developer as far as I know.

Could you share the correct ONVIF string so other people with a similar issue can find it? Thank you!

Managed to get it work by doing lots of reading on lots of BLOGS, basically needed to get the ONVIF string correct.
