Re: 5.1.0.4 Upgrade

Mine failed the first time, but restarting BI and attempting the upgrade worked the second time. Not sure if it's related but I absolutely positively lost the "double-click to full screen" function after this upgrade. I don't know if it's just me but it's definitely not working now when it...

Re: tethys camera

The manufacturer's notes say "NOTE: HTTP/RTSP NOT SUPPORTED", and one of the reviews says " Also, there is no connection to other camera management software like Blue Iris so you can't mix the different cameras." A search for ONVIF turns up nothing. I can't be 100% sure, but I th...

Re: tethys camera

That's not much to go on...please post the model number and a link to where it can be found (Amazon, eBay, etc). Any other information you have on it would be helpful. Some of the Tethys cameras I found on line have a note that says "HTTP/RTSP NOT SUPPORTED", another note on some of the ca...

Has the double-click function changed?

Just upgraded this morning and the double-click function seems to have changed. (??) On the Cameras tab I normally have it set to "temporary full-screen", but it no longer does anything on a double-click. I know for a fact this used to work because I use it all the time, but now it doesn't...

Using SSD for /Storage

What's the consensus on using an SSD for the Blue Iris /Storage directory? In my case I have the '/New' and '/Database' directories on the local PC that runs BI, but my '/Storage' directory is stored on a NAS. Since my '/Storage' directory only gets written to about once a day, I'm thinking I may ch...

Re: Have NAS encode bvr files

Same here, I'm using a NAS for storage and I'd love to programmatically convert BVR files to another format. Apparently "Media Player Classic - Home Cinema" (https://mpc-hc.org/) has limited support for playing BVR files, but I don't know if it converts or saves to another format. I use an...

Re: [BUG] RTSP Wyze Cam v2 ... anyone have it working properly?

I've had two running for months and they occasionally drop signal, but then pick up almost immediately. My settings are below.

Anyone familiar with NGROK?

EDIT: With the help of Blue Iris support, I got the ngrok connection working. :) A huge thank you to the support team for helping to resolve this. Here's their reply, and so far it seems to work perfectly (at least on a local LAN connection): "If you receive an error remotely stating “successfu...

Re: Windows 7 -> 10 upgrade. Now license key not recognized

I wonder if the weirdness was caused by some snafu in the network authentication; I'm fairly certain it phones home for validation and maybe there's some issue that was going on there. This is just a guess, I don't know how it really works. Thanks for the help. Weirdly, it simply fixed itself. I pas...

Re: Should I upgrade my PC/Server?

If I was to do this all over again, I'd probably buy a somewhat recent vintage server off of eBay or someplace like that. Lotta bang for the buck in slightly older hardware like that. For example, you can get a Dell PowerEdge R710 Server / 2x E5645 = 12-Cores / 32GB | Perc6i / 2x 300GB SAS for about...
