Another question already. I am trying to have each camera send a unique sound. I have uploaded a new custom sound in pushover and replaced the "sound= " in the string but only still get the sound from the "siren". Below is what I have installed for each camera. I get the message specific to each camera but not a different sound. Seems like I should be able to do this?


Camry

-s --form-string "token=auvz2fkjskbsx5twfdyoe71h1zojzc" --form-string "user=uk9by8i2xpk8w7gtqx4bpjk4o7qewa" --form-string "message=camry" --form-string "html=1" --form-string "device=riphone" --form-string "sound=long_siren2" -F "attachment=@D:\Alerts\&ALERT_PATH"


entry and truck area


-s --form-string "token=auvz2fkjskbsx5twfdyoe71h1zojzc" --form-string "user=uk9by8i2xpk8w7gtqx4bpjk4o7qewa" --form-string "message=entryway&truck" --form-string "html=1" --form-string "device=riphone" --form-string "sound=doorbell" -F "attachment=@D:\Alerts\&ALERT_PATH"

Doesn't seem to make a change. Still only get one sound notification. Would be nice to figure out different ones base on location or trigger event. Oh well. Anyone else know?

Don't wanna be that guy LOL, but none of this is related to UI3...

You should be putting these questions in the pushover thread:

Do your custom sounds meet these requirements per the Pushover custom sounds API?
“… sound files must be in MP3 format and are limited to 500 kilobytes in size, and for iOS devices, cannot be longer than 30 seconds or they will not play.”

So now I am working on getting alerts for critical areas with people at night. Mostly only interested in very specific locations. In testing, I get push notifications to my iphone but the tone is delayed. I do not have the best coverage where I live so if it goes thru the carrier vs wifi it will never work well. Not too interested in the Amazon Echo as it seems like it must be connected to the internet.

Does anyone have a good solution that only use the LAN for notifications. I haven't been able to decifer all of the options available such as MQQT and IO. Are these the answer or is there something easier?
In case you're not aware, 2 things:
  • You posted the above 3 times in a row and NONE of it has anything to do with this particular forum's title "Blue Iris UI3"
  • You should have posted in a new thread.
:cool:

Have an issue when playing clips with direct-to-wire enabled (see screenshot). The video doesn't appear to switch to the main stream. If I pick another profile without DTW it plays back fine. All my cameras are running H264. I also have no problem just viewing the cameras with DTW enabled.

Edit: Nevermind, I missed number 5 previously
5. Direct to wire is not used for clips (yet?) and possibly never will be used for timeline.
This is now working for me. No changes or updates to my BI machine or the client running UI3.

I apologize if I am missing the obvious. I have read the help section and manual.

Is there a way to filter out (.jpg snapshot images) from the "Clips" playback button? I have our system taking a still photo when triggered. Those save for long term storage. Working well.

But when trying to playback an entire 4 hr clip, I can't find the clips on the left of the screen bc there are too many still images to scroll through.

1. I'd like to filter out the still images in the Clips area.

2. Or eliminate the Snapshots from even appearing in the Clips of the UI.

Any ideas or work arounds?

UI3 version 111, Blue Iris version: 5.2.8.3

In UI3, would it help you to click on the drop down at upper left for "Database View" and select "Alerts" instead of "All Clips"?

I played around with that just now. It does give you access to the entire clip. But when playing it back it will skip from alert to alert and not let me see the entire clip on the time that I want to view. Also, sometimes the clip just runs out and I know there's more but I can't get to the entire length of the clip this way. I was trying to view 11:50a and I can't get to that location by playing back and scrolling across different alerts.

I don't use UI3 that much, so I'm sure I'm not much help. My version of UI3 is not very new either, it's 153.

Hi again. Haven't seen you around in a while. No news is good news I guess.

I'm not sure where you have your snapshots being saved versus the clip files, but if you update Blue Iris you will have some more options for viewing and filtering clips.

UI3-120 added a bunch of new clip list filters. That should be in Blue Iris 5.3.2.11 (released Sept 25, 2020) if your support plan is good to at least that date (otherwise BI would revert to trial mode). Or it might work if you install the UI3 update manually in your current Blue Iris version from here according to the instructions on this page. In particular, UI3-120 will let you filter the clips by folder (new/stored/Aux 1/etc). Again I don't know how you're doing the snapshot saving so that might not be any help being able to filter by folder.

If you go all the way to latest Blue Iris (you'd need a new support plan renewal if yours isn't still active) then you can use the Timeline tab in UI3 which is a great deal easier to navigate large amounts of time with in my opinion. It gives you this zoomable timeline where you just click and drag to go where you want in time, and zoom with mouse wheel. It is touchscreen-friendly too. This would naturally skip all of your snapshots. But you don't get any thumbnails so you'd need to do a lot of seeking depending on what you're looking for.

If you do update further, then I recommend exploring the Sub Stream support that BI has. It is supported in your version but it was relatively new and buggy back then.

In the latest UI3 with BI5, in timeline view, when viewing live video it will play live audio too, but if I scroll back in time to view recorded video, the audio is muted & grayed out and can't be unmuted. This happens whether all cams are viewed or one cam is soloed. Is this expected behavior? If I view the same footage as a clip, then audio works.

That is right, Blue Iris doesn't support audio with timeline playback yet. If more people send emails to Blue Iris support asking for it, it will increase the priority of having it implemented.
