    Chromecast working...!

    There have been a lot of complaints: When you have a Chromecast on your LAN you can see the Chromecast link/logo in the Android app, but if you try to use it you will see "Chromecast is only supported over https". It's not the app's fault, I think https is a Chromecast requirement. And it...

    Can Blue Iris do CUDA ENcoding?

    I know it can do decoding now, and I know it's "inefficient". I am confused whether it can CUDA encoding H.264 and H.265. I am thinking of using this for the webserver to serve the streams outside of my LAN and perhaps for re-encoding the motion detect clips for storage. Anyone knows?
