Is it possible to flag a certain time in a flagged clip?

If the answer is no, why not? I notice I have a few flagged clips and months later I forget what time in the clip I needed (I normally write it down but would be nice to have it logged within blue iris).

Thank you

I asked Ken about this in Jan 2018... here’s the email thread...

Thanks Ken.
While I would be ok with doing a ‘database repair’ to reflect the added alert, I can understand that it is not ideal.

Very interesting idea! And I would probably add this today if I could ... but the way the database is created, events occur in chronological order, I have no way now to "insert" something in the middle. Maybe with a database repair it could be brought in, but that would be a hassle each time I would imagine. This is something for the long-term "drawing board"...
Take care
Ken

Ken,
Here’s a scenario..
  • I’m viewing an old clip and I see an event that was not triggered when it occurred, therefore there is no alert in the database.
  • I would now like to “save” a pointer to this event -- that is, create a manual alert entry for it, and flag/protect it for permanent retention.
I suppose this might be the equivalent of issuing an after-the-fact ‘Trigger Now’ command during clip playback.

Is this possible now, or might it be a future feature?
(I am envisioning a new command on the clip playback right-click context menu.)

PS - I do understand that I can export a video segment of the event... but I’d really prefer to have a “pointer” to the event in BI’s database.

Geez. BI really needs to use sqlite, not this home-brewed thing that has HOURS of downtime when it needs repaired. Which is more often than it should be.

Well I will start over here.
I am new to BI but I have a request.
Lets say we have an external event (door sensor opens , temparatur sensor high, barcode scan /entrance ...) - I would like to flag the video/database with the external EventID oder the barcode scanned - which I have.
This should be done via API /MQTT .... asap after the event. Perhaps to all Cam Streams.
Later on checking I would like so search in BI for the EventID or the barcode to see the video(s) exactly on that moment. Additionally it would be fine to have one(many) JPGs named with the EventID /or the barcode scanned in an seperate folder
Perhaps this exists, than I would like to see an example how this is done.

Best Regards Alexander
