What BI and UI3 versions? (open UI3's about window, it says both version numbers there)
That was one of the issues we worked through in timeline development. I'm not aware of a way to reproduce the issue now.

Ok so there are some minor problems if you are streaming at a very very low resolution; my scaling code apparently neglected to enforce 240px dimension limits on single camera timeline views, even though I was aware that BI would ignore the requested size if it was smaller than 240px.
What streaming quality choice did you have selected? Most of them should be okay (e.g. 1080p VBR) but the 144p option has this problem and so can the jpeg modes depending on the size of the browser window.

UI3 Version 204, B.I. 5.5.6.7, and streaming at 1080p VBR V2.
As I said, it is fine initially (live view), it only shrinks to a tiny size when reviewing earlier footage. I have tried other streaming profiles, but they do the same thing for me (at least on my phone, S10E, both in Chrome and Brave browsers.
Edit: Keep in mind that this is only for my one vertical camera, it doesn't do this for normal horizontal cameras.

I get that it'd be a janky solution, but if you're willing to give it as an option, I'd be willing to sing your praises
Well, I'll do that anyway.FWIW, the BI app only allows the swiping to next camera when the zoom is back to 1:1 as well... so that's actually not that janky...
hi all, just a quick q about the auto-maximize feature. Is there currently the ability to change on 'deep stack confirmed / alerted' rather than the 'triggered' or 'motion'? I've noticed it's made its way into an update within the console itself.
Thank you! That would be great.

Getting the hang of it
Hello, I've been having issues with UI3 not accepting my password when I enter it on my phone. No matter how slow and exact I make sure I enter my password I always get password is invalid at least once. I would always eventually get in, until today... Today it failed 5 times and now it has banned my IP. In the Web Server settings I cannot find anywhere that I can un-ban my IP so I get "Access denied" and "You don't have the user rights to view this page" when I try to connect to UI3. I can login with the same User ID on a different device, just not my phone. I will set the options for auto-ban off because I only access UI3 locally while at home and through OpenVPN when away. Does anyone know where the banned IP address list is so I can remove it?
Try BI "Settings" => "Web server" tab, "Advanced".
Found in BI's built-in "Help" file.

Yes, that is where I disabled the "Auto-ban IP after attempts:" and the "Release temp ban after mins:" options. Initially I was still banned. I tried it a few times in a 15 minute timeframe and could not get in but a couple of hours later I tried it again and was able to login. I'm still unsure of exactly how this works. Perhaps there is a set delay once the Auto-ban is unchecked?
@MarkusAgustus Unless you've found some rare new bug, which is unlikely, then it is simply user error.
I don't think the ban list is manageable or viewable. You can only clear it by restarting the Blue Iris service, or wait it out.
Have UI3 remember your password so you can't type it wrong later, or get a password manager to handle your logins.

just found a nice way of getting audio autoplay to work without having to interact in chrome.
My use case is that I load up multiple instances of UI3 on various desktops through MQTT (IOTLink). This loads up UI3 in full kiosk mode. Previously operators would have to interact with UI3 in order to load audio.
Simply adding
Full command:
Hope it helps someone!

Simply adding
--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required to the launch command removes this need.Full command:
{ "command": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe ", "args": "--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --kiosk=http://your-bi-ui3", "path": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application", "user": "", "visible": true, "fallback": true, "kiosk": true }Hope it helps someone!

Any chance there is a way to remotely change the UI3 group? In short I have a raspberry Pi running UI3 and want to use a web command or something similar to change the group being displayed. Kind of like you can do with the http command: http://192.168.1.xxx:xx/admin?console=GROUPNAME
yes you can change the group displayed with a URL parameter.

This works though only changes opens it in the browser I put it in, I was hoping to trigger a remote session of UI3 to change group (on the same network).
There's no way to remotely control UI3 in that manner, and it is a safe bet there never will be since it is not something I could implement on my own without the ability to run code on the server.

Thanks, hopefully I can figure out something else. Love UI3 and definitely want to keep on using it!
didn't have time to read all 171 pages but....
Just wanted to confirm. UI3 works 100% using a Rasberry Pi2b with the newer Rasbian OS. This Rasberry Pi2 arrived with the 2015 OS which couldnt/wouldnt do Chronium (at least, couldn't figure out how). Figured a new OS would fix that, and it did.
The display is not blazing fast, but 5-8 FPS which is suitable for casual notifications. Displaying 13 cameras at 1080p streaming quality.
I initially was unsure if the Pi2 would have the horsepower for the video so had a Pi3 on standby. Luckily, so far so good (30 minutes into streaming).
Not shabby actually. Was using a Amazon Firestick sideloaded with Chrome for a long time. Maybe it was the 'Lite' version but the Firestick kept reverting back to the main Amazon page 3 or 4x's a week or simply crashing Chrome.

Is the Pi2b getting the stream wirelessly or wired?
wireless.
looking at Pi2b pricing...$45-$55 range.
