Good morning,
I just updated from Blue iris 4.2.4 to 4.2.8.4 to attempt to take advantage of the hardware acceleration. Upon updating, I went to "options", "Cameras", and checked off "Use Intel HD Hardware acceleration for H.264 decoding". After enabling this feature, I restarted the blue iris service. Upon starting it again, all of my cameras were disconnected.
After playing around with it for a little while, I disabled running blue iris as a service. When I opened it back up, my cameras were connected again, and it appeared blue iris was using the hardware acceleration properly. My normal CPU usage is between 40%-50% and with hardware acceleration enabled, my CPU usage was between 20%-28%. I tried enabling the blue iris service again, however, I still had the same results, all cameras would disconnect soon as I restarted blue iris as a service.
I'm currently running blue iris as a service with hardware acceleration disabled and everything appears to be working properly.
I have a total of 9 IP cameras
4x Dahua 3MP bullet cameras IPC-HFW4300S
2x Dahua 1.3MP bullet cameras IPC-HFW 2100S
1x Dahus 2MP PTZ Dome (EYEsurv ESIP-PTZmicro)[h=3]1x Hikvision 4MP bullet (2CD2042WD-I)
1x Hikvision 3MP Turret EXIR 2CD2332-I [/h]
Blue Iris is running on a dedicated computer
Specs:
Windows 7 Professional 64bit (All windows updates have been installed)
Intel Core i7 4790k
Gigabyte Z97N-wifi mini-itx motherboard
8GB of Crucial RAM
120GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD for Operation system
2x 4TB Western Digital purple for video storage
430W Power Supply
