    Blue Iris UI3

    I haven't changed anything on my setup, as far as I can remember in the last 6 months but just in the last couple of months, I've noticed that about half the time when I try to log into the UI3 web interface using Chrome on Android, that it prompts me for a username and password even though I've...

    Blue Iris UI3

    @bp2008 as always, thank you for that suggestion (to manually update UI3). That worked fine to get that functionality. I vaguely thought about doing that, but since my BI version is more than a year old, I figured it probably wouldn't work and I didn't want to mess anything up.

    Blue Iris UI3

    I tried to add this "change group button" override script to UI3 (it is the only override script I have) and I cannot get it to work. I've tried multiple browsers and a reboot. The BI version I'm running is 5.6.1.3 and the ui_version is 223. Is the reason it won't work is because my version...

    Blue Iris UI3

    You could stream it to YouTube and then make that YT channel unlisted so that only people you send the link to could access it. If you're asking whether it is possible to share a single camera on your LAN to any user then you could make a camera group from one camera and then give the anonymous...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I vaguely remember that UI3 had a "night mode" option that would make the whole screen basically red and black so that you could view it on a TV or other large screen without affecting your night vision. Now I can't seem to find that option or any forum thread with that info. Any help would be...

    NetTime running and responding (per the log), but time is not updating on the camera.

    I also have a dual NIC Blue Iris computer and I checked my NetTime log and it wasn't showing my cameras' times were being updated either. I had already setup rules for allowing NetTime through the Public and Private firewall and another rule to allow UDP port 123 traffic through but it still...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    BIT cannot be run natively as a service. However, you can just select the option to Start when Windows Boots under Program Options. That is how I have it set and I imagine most folks here use it. I don't run the BI console and instead run BI as a service too, and BIT loads fine when the...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Well, BIT was able to start pulling WU data again today (for me) at 4 PM. Hopefully it was just a temporary WU glitch, but I agree with @sebastiantombs that WU has really been dead for a while. For now, I'll continue to feed them my WX data, but when that stops, they're dead to me too, and...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I'm inclined to believe that this is a Wunderground issue as I also use another program (IP Timelapse) on another computer to pull weather info from WU and it has also stopped pulling data as of yesterday.

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Same here. It was running well up until about 2 PM yesterday and then I started getting the same Weather Update Error as you. I looked back at the log file generated by BIT and in the past, when I got that error it only lasted a few minutes to an hour or so. This is the longest I've had the...

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    If you click on Allow another app below the Window showing the programs, there should be an option to select any application installed on your computer. You just have to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\NetTime or wherever you installed it.

    Setting up NetTime Time Sync Tool on Windows 10

    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Defender Firewall\Allowed apps ....then uncheck NetTime under Public (Note you may have to "Allow another app"... if NetTime is not listed there)

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    All I can tell you is to leave Check for updates daily unchecked. You might want to uninstall BIT, delete any files in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Iris Tools folder and then reinstall it. Version 1.6.0 is the latest version and there has not been an update in a long time. See if that...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Uncheck the option to "Check for updates daily + install automatically" as there are no more updates for this program and leaving that checked will throw some errors. Restart after unchecking just to be sure. Also, the red lettering on the Options page at the top: Latest Version: Forbidden...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I guess I'm not understanding the "Bypass Single-Camera Groups" UI3 option. I have this option turned on but the camera groups that only have one camera in them are still showing in the drop down menu, even after Chrome and Windows 10 restart. Is there some other way in UI3 to hide groups with...

    can't disable camera labels in UI3

    Thanks bp2008 ! That did the trick. For the sake of helping the visual learners, I've posted some screen shots of the selections you mentioned. These are the options available from right clicking the video within the UI3 web interface and selecting group settings: ...and the camera labels...

    can't disable camera labels in UI3

    I just upgraded from BI v4 to v5 and I can't turn off the camera labels in UI3 like I could before. I went into the UI3 settings and it shows that the camera labels are turned off, but the labels are still showing. I even tried turning the labels on, closing, restarting my web browser, and...

    UHD 630 graphics driver needed for i7-9700 (HA issues)

    I have a question about substreams. I understand that when viewing multiple cameras, Blue Iris shows the substream but when viewing a single camera, it shows the main stream. I have a high resolution monitor (2560x1440) and I typically have a 4 camera view (2x2) open full screen on it...

    UHD 630 graphics driver needed for i7-9700 (HA issues)

    I should have mentioned that I am still running the last version of BI v4 which does not support substreams.

    UHD 630 graphics driver needed for i7-9700 (HA issues)

    I've been trying to setup hardware acceleration on a new computer for Blue Iris and over 24 hours, the CPU utilization reaches 100% and the system locks up. The driver listed in the Device Manager on my system for the UHD Graphics 630 is 30.0.101.1191 from 12/3/2021 (this is running on a 9th...

    Getting Intel Quick Sync to work with Blue Iris (Settings & Troubleshooting)

    Ditto here. Thanks to your suggestion @JonSnow. My system is now stable by setting the monitor to never sleep (on my headless system). Prior to that, I was randomly getting "no signal" on some of my 18+ cameras.

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Yep, I checked my Web/FTP Settings and the UTF-8 option was already selected (ticked). I even tried unchecking it, saving, then rechecking it and saving again but it didn't resolve the issue. I also tried checking and unchecking the UTF-8 option in the Extra Files section as well. I...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I checked my Cumulus.ini file and the NOAAUseUTF8=1 option was already set to 1 (the default), which means it is using UTF-8 encoding. I also read the Cumulus wiki and tried using the "Convert to UTF-8" tool as mentioned in that thread but it didn't change the diamonds back to the degree...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    Well, surprisingly, I got it to work with one exception. I got CumulusMX generating the text files and they are being updated regularly and I was able to use that in BI Tools to overlay that data on the video. The problem is, the degree sign is getting messed up in the process. I created a...

    Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

    I also use CumulusMX and since it can easily output a text file with the weather info periodically updated, I would think that it shouldn't be too hard to figure out a way to get BI Tools to pull that in, although I'm no programmer. I guess knowing the format that BI Tools requires would be the...

    Blue Iris UI3

    So I got it all working thanks to @wittaj and @Mike A. I originally had NetTime installed but didn't have the option checked to allow other computers to sync to it, and in my troubleshooting I had disabled NetTime. On top of that, I still had the Windows Time service running. In addition to...

    Blue Iris UI3

    I switched all my cameras and POE switch over to a second network card for security purposes and now I've recognized an issue with the time settings on all my cameras. I use the internal timestamp overlay from each camera instead of using an overlay from Blue Iris due to the large number of...

    Blue Iris UI3

    Once again, forum members helped me out! I got a USB to ethernet adapter for my laptop ($14) and now everything is back up and running as it should be and my time lapse computer is pulling the images just fine. Thank you all for your help!

    Blue Iris UI3

    Yep, since the movies tend to be 50MB to 100MB, I'd prefer to not use the wifi as my second network source. So, I ordered a USB to ethernet adapter and it should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know if that solves the problem. Thanks!

    Blue Iris UI3

    Hmmm. So if I do that, I'm guessing that I would set it on the same 192.168.200.x LAN and plug the other end of the ethernet cable into the POE switch as well? Is that right? My time lapse computer is a laptop but I'll see if there is a way to add another ethernet port (maybe through USB?).
