Blue Iris Camera Username and Password URL

[CrazyAsYou]

Can someone advise if it is possible for Blue Iris to pass parameters like the camera username/password into URLs it calls for things like for a preset/ptz or other types camera commands?

For example:

Where camera has IP 192.168.1.100 and is using HTTP port 81
Where camera username is CRAZYAS
Where camera password is STRONGPASSWORD
param=14&value=1 is the camera command to enable IR LEDs​

This is the URL that works direct in a browser

http://192.168.1.100:81/camera_control.cgi?loginuse=CRAZYAS&loginpas=STRONGPASSWORD&param=14&value=1​

This is the URL that works in Blue Iris

camera_control.cgi?loginuse=CRAZYAS&loginpas=STRONGPASSWORD&param=14&value=1​

This is the sort of URL I would like to use in Blue Iris

camera_control.cgi?loginuse=%camusername%&loginpas=%campassword%&param=14&value=1​

Where %camusername% and %campassword% are the details from the camera network config section.

So in summary I would like to use the parameters from here:

I guess it's not possible as we've not had a reply yet. maybe it's time for another email to Ken

Hey Guys,

Ken has come back to me and said

For version 4.7.6.2 and beyond, you can use

{id}
{pw}

as macros within either the HTTP or POST boxes for these custom PTZ commands.

I'll test it in several hours. Quite exciting!
Thanks for update

You can't because that version is not released yet, the lastest version is 4.7.6.1 (June 7, 2018)

Haha, I didn't look at the version number properly. I'm only on 4.7.6.0.
... What I mean is I'll dust my time machine so I can go firelward in time to test this out
