4.8.3 - November 1, 2018

  • Send animated GIFs instead of JPEGs with the rich notification feature to the iOS and Android client apps. You must enable this on the Options/Web server/Advanced page. It will also require an app update, which is pending with Apple today. 32 bit systems will be limited to 256 shades of grey instead of color, as this feature makes use of GDI+ version 1.1 functionality.

  • The "email support" feature from the app will now send your Blue Iris support details to speed up the support process.

Hopefully the email support feature does help the support process. I tried emailing support (with Basic Support license) twice over the last week and never got a response. Ended up figuring out the problem so things worked out. Not sure why I never got a response.

Anyone else experience this?

Animated gifs in the mobile app notification?

I always get a response on my e-mails. But lately I don't know. Didn't send emails recently.

Did you use the button within BI to compose the email?

Any suggestions on how to get rich notifications working? I get the push notification fine, but it never includes a picture or gif. I setup stunnel in case that was needed but it didn't seem to help. Thanks!

No. BI support has always been quite responsive to my issues.

Under Settings - > Web Server -> Advanced. Make sure you have "Send rich push (3D) notifications" enabled and "10-image GIF" if you want animated notifications.

For everyone trying to get this to work it ONLY is working with port forwarding from my testing. If you are using stunnel or a VPN you will only get a blank image when the 10 image GIF option is selected.

For some reason, these GIF paths when served by BlueIris are not sending valid HTTP header responses, it just responds with the GIF payload and no headers, which is why it isn't working via nginx.

I'm not sure if this is by design for the 3D push or what, it seems a bit broken. I'm going to email support.

The ipcamtalk cloudflare protection is preventing me from inlining this, kinda silly:

I spoke to support and the header issue has been fixed. You should find that the GIF now works via reverse proxies.
