4.5.6 - May 17, 2017

4.5.6 - May 17, 2017

• Video component updates
  
  
• H.265 parsing and decoding fixes
  
  
• MP4 format direct-to-disc fixes for file compatibility, affecting both recording and convert/export
  
  
• The web server now responds to the HTTP Accept-Encoding header with zlib "deflate" encoding for JSON requests made by the client apps. This reduces the size of the transmitted reply by approximately 50%. This technique may be applied to other requests in the future as appropriate.
  
  
• Rolling back the default group image resolution change which has adversely affected our Android client app--crashes have been reported with the new 960p resolution, so it's once again 720p. You can still override this size as required via the group settings pages.

This seems to have resolved the dahua h.265 green screen issue...

yes, my stream works fine but now I am getting a 2 second black screen on playback of clip. If I rewind the clip it plays fine ?? I tried several setting changes but same end result. I sent Ken a note.

Did something change after the update? None of my remote clients now connect with my BI server. They worked this morning but now my three tablets and cellphone do not connect.

The update included compression for some web responses; apparently this is broken in some browsers

Yes... there is a bug....

Here is the 64 bit update file for 4.5.5.1 so you can roll back: Dropbox - update64_4.5.5.1.exe

Of course I know you have all installed this program so you don't need me to upload the 4.5.5.1 file.

Yes and after trying several settings in the camera's UI I was unable to get rid of the black 2 seconds. For anyone else trying it here was Ken's response:

This might be due to the number of b-frames or the encoding profile level, please check the camera encoder settings directly to see if there's anything to adjust, otherwise this may just be a "feature" of this stream ...

Now because of the other bug I am done testing this build

My ipad connects. My android does not. Glad to know it wasn't something I did.

I inspected traffic from the android app with Fiddler. Blue Iris is sending API responses compressed with "deflate" even though the web requests do not explicitly say they support "deflate" compression (evidently, the web server just assumed that all web clients would be deflate-compatible and didn't bother to check the header).

Fiddler also says the deflate compression method being used is not compatible with Internet Explorer.

I did let Ken know both of those details.

This new update got rid of the jaggies on the live view of all cams that I had. Great job!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

+1 I use a PC in my front room to view my cams. I did not like not being able to see them. Thank you!

 

[Hound Dog 911]

New update got me back up. Thanks Ken!

 

[aaronwt]

Is there a new version that corrects the issues with 4.5.6?

 

[bp2008]

Yes
