    BI being sluggish

    Try lowering the frame rate to 15 frames per second and set the i frame interval to the same value. Make sure substreams have the save frames per second as the main stream and I frame the same as the Frames per second.

    Blue Iris PC died and I’m not sure why

    If you press the windows key and enter "windows tools" there is a memory test that runs at boot up. You can give that a try, but it takes a LONG time. And it will stay at certain percentages for ever, like 21%, so just let it run for hours.

    Adding second camera at remote location

    Thanks for the help. I went with a 5 port tp-link POE switch figuring it would be more robust and easier to add a 3rd camera down the line. I'm slightly worried about heat build up but I have 9 months before that's an issue :)

    I have this same problem on the April 2023 release of BI so going back may not fix it. I mainly use it to just check on the memory usage to make sure it's not over 5gb.

    camera times out in ui3 when going full screen

    Thank you all for the excellent suggestions! With no substreams enabled it works fine. And if I enable the second substream it works fine, but with first substream it does not. So I'll just enable the second one and leave well enough alone. Thanks again.

    Customising layout with sub-groups

    Maybe just swap between groups every few seconds. That way, for example, you could be 3 groups. Group1, Group2 and Group3. Each group has the 9 cameras you care about and the other 3 you want to monitor every few seconds. Maybe the switching would be glitchy to the eyes though.
