@ BP2008 This has probably been asked before but I can't find it, is there a way for UI3 to show a certain cam fullscreen with nothing else showing upon logging into to UI3 ?

I should add this is for a TV displaying UI3 in the TV's browser.

UI3 option examples:

/ui3.htm?maximize=1
/ui3.htm?tab=live
/ui3.htm?tab=alerts
/ui3.htm?tab=clips
/ui3.htm?group=groupname
/ui3.htm?cam=cameraShortName

So to load one camera full screen upon logging in would be: /ui3.htm?cam=cameraShortName&maximize=1

This thread is so huge and you have made so many improvements, it's impressive!
I can't even find the comment where I made a feature request, but it was somewhere way back before version 27. I asked for a way to not accidentally click on the schedule. Well I saw that your inclusion of that feature made it to the full bi version because all of a sudden one day there it was on my screen.
You are really good at this, I didn't even have a good idea for how to implement it, but I see that just clicking on any of the items on the left collapses them.
And I should have known duh but I see you're also the author of bi update tools, which are sweet.
Good work! I'm a web developer too, but I'm not as skilled in the UI as you are!
I even love the fact that I can upgrade my BI installation and when I come back to my laptop with UI3 open, it just reconnects automatically and I don't even have to touch it.
Thanks for all the work.

Is there the ability to do multi-camera alert playback like in the BI App?

I noticed that in UI3 version 55, with BI 4.7.9.0, I can't get audio to work in the live view when using https with stunnel. The speaker icon and volume slider don't show up, even though they've showed up in prior versions while using https. I'm sorry i didn't install BI helper before this, so I can't revert to really nail down when this changed, but I know it stopped working over the last month. When I use regular http, the volume slider shows up just fine. Do others have this issue?

I have searched around and played around with the settings to get rid of this, is there a way? I would like to auto load the browser without having to click every time. It seems to not happen on some machines, I was thinking I changed a setting I wasn't aware of.

Edit: I would like to keep the triggered event sounds.

OK
Love UI3 but I thought I had broke UI3, setup a new server and when I tried to playback some Alerts, I got the network to slow message. After a couple of hours of trying to figure out what was going on, I remembered to set camera record to Continuous and not Triggered + Continuous Each. Not sure what Triggered + Continuous each does, but my system doesn't like it.

@bp2008 I installed my first PTZ. Minor bug: If a PTZ preset description has spaces in the string, I noticed it's displayed as "%20".

For example, with screenshot below, "Garage Fence Gate" is displayed as "Garage%20Fence%20Gate".

Any ideas on how to fix? I have updated to latest BI v4.7.9.1, UI3 v55.

Make sure your streaming profile in UI3 is for H.264 (not jpeg). You can also look in the main menu > About This UI where it should warn you if any browser features required for audio playback are missing.

You can try allowing autoplay here: chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy

Unfortunately that will enable it on all websites, but if it works you might consider it worth the tradeoff.

A lot of UI3 features don't work on IOS due to Apple limiting what browsers can do on IOS.

Well it is the camera embedding the preset name into the stream. %20 is the URL-encoded form of a space. UI3 doesn't URL-encode these names at all so it can't be UI3's fault. Most likely either Blue Iris is encoding the name incorrectly or the camera is decoding the name incorrectly when "setting" the preset. Either way Blue Iris support may be able to help resolve the issue if you contact support and make the camera available to them so they can test changes to how the presets are set.

As a workaround, you could disable the camera's PTZ preset name overlay, or edit the preset names in the camera's web interface to look how you want them to.

That has always been something you could do in UI3, since long before the first beta release :)

You can also right-click and disable several of the controls there, including the schedule, stoplight, etc, to make it even harder to use by accident.

As a work around, enter the name as Garage_Fence_Gate

I'm going to guess this has been asked and answered many times. Is there a way to remove the left side pane and top menu so only the cameras show? I'm setting up a tablet to just display the cams and want to maximize the amount of screen space.

As always, your work is amazing!! Thanks for everything you are doing.

Just use the following URL to launch from a browser on a local PC or tablet:
Code:
