    VM server for BI and more, i7-6700

    I'm thinking of a refurbished Dell optoplex i7-6700 as a VM server (500ssd, 16gb ram) to host BI in a windows VM and another VM for plex and a third for Home Assistant. Looks like the machine can be had for <$400 and offer a lot of flexibility and last well into the future. Probably looking...

    Chromecast working...!

    that's strange. i wonder if just changing any setting would have the same effect, but the results from the newer models seem to not indicate that. good to know.

    Overlaying camera name programmatically

    sorry for being silly, wouldn't be the first time i'm afraid. i guess it's a matter of UX. when i add a camera i will also probably re-allocate a few cameras in the system for better optimization. i've been using BI for like 15 years or when ever it got started and while i'm always buying...

    Overlaying camera name programmatically

    that's not how code/macros work. no checkbox involved. seems odd i can access the camera-specific and dynamic FPS code (for instance) for display in my window (no check-box needed of course) but can't access the cameras' name.

    Overlaying camera name programmatically

    i have a dozen cams on one system, with a dozen different IPs and who knows how many different manufacturers. i don't need any software from them, BI does everything. thought i explained pretty clearly why it would help me. maybe this is just from a programmers point of view, but you don't...

    Overlaying camera name programmatically

    sorry, i never use the cameras for anything but feeding BI video. in camera options/Video/Edit Overlays you can use data and time formatting for day of the week and even FPS. i want a code for the camera name so i don't have to enter it as simple text in the overlay. now, when i change a...

    Overlaying camera name programmatically

    Is there a code or macro i can use to insert the camera name into the OSD without manually entering it as simple text? i regularly get screwed by this when changing configurations.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Love UI3, great thing for BlueIris. When the page first loads i would love to have the alerts appearing in the left column, with the live cameras also. seems when i watch an alert i then have to close it and click on LiveView again to get the live cameras back. i'm probably missing something...

    Can't watch Alert videos on any mobile device!

    Ah, thanks for the quick response. BI4 bought and operational now. this must be a popular topic. i was an early adopter of BI and feel they deserve all the money they ask for, but now i have egg on my face with my users and a few hours of wasted time trying to figure this out. sure, i knew they...

    Can't watch Alert videos on any mobile device!

    can watch in a browser just fine, and all of the 3 android devices seem to work normally except none of the alert videos play. the clip will just blink when clicked on but nothing ever plays. been using BI for years, can't find what would cause this. had some router issues recently but that...
