Status Window Warning

Post by YrbkMgr »

About a week ago I upgraded from BI 4.x to BI 5. I'm suddenly getting a warning in the status window that I don't understand. The warning icon appears next to an external storage location that I use to archive older clips. Below are screen caps of the status window and the relevant portion of the Clips and Archiving tab.

How can I find out more about this warning and mitigating it?

That does seem strange. I have noticed the math on mine seems a little wonky but still, the way I'm reading that seems to indicate you have things right. Out of curiosity, maybe you've already looked there, but on that Blue Iris Status page... what does the "Clip Storage" tab look like?

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The Clips Storage Tab - looks copacetic to me...

These are from today.

What is confusing me is that in the same status window, the next line is a check mark for the Clips object. And while we're at it, check out my Camera's tab: I have turned off internet access for both cameras at the router. Why is there webcasting?

I don't know if it's a bug or a feature...
