Can I improve the quality? Everything looks pixelated in the UI3. Use it locally because I would like a better Qualli. I already have the resolution 2160p VBR

If it is only the group streams (multiple cameras showing at once) which have low quality, then you need to increase the group frame size as described here. Note you can also increase the frame rate of the group streams. But be careful because higher resolutions and frame rates take more CPU time to encode.
If you are viewing locally over a wired network or fast wifi, then you should use the non-VBR streaming options because they have higher quality targets and higher bit rate limits.
Hi all.
The personnel of my remote surveillance service is accessing my Blue Iris setup through the UI3 Web Server, with a dedicated BI user, to check for intrusions. I've set actions in Blue Iris, that when they login to the UI3 interface some of the cameras are hidden, for privacy purposes. To re-show the cameras, I've set actions on the Log Out event of that user to issue the show command on the same cameras.
I would like to set an automation to prevent that user to stay idle for too long, or in any case to stay logged for too long. I've set a time limitation for that user and the BI engine correctly calls the Log Out event, but the BI server is not ending the web session, allowing the user to see all the cameras. Is there a way to force the web session to end at the expiry of the time limit, kicking out the user from the live view, please? I know there is the possibility in the UI3 settings to set an idle timeout value, but it is not what I'm looking for, as it is not forcing the user to log out in BI, thus not issuing the Log Out actions and it is a setting that is not manageble server side.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm thinking maybe to a curl call action to some UI3 page in order to force the end of the session?
Thank you!

It's a shame that you can't press the individual cameras in the cycle group overview. As in the Android APP. But that's just an assembled picture. The option to show camera (full screen) at Tigger still cannot be implemented?
When i click an alert in BI UI3 it plays the alert, but the location on the clip bar is zero, if i click anywhere it resets to the beginning of the clip.
its like it knows where to find the alert, but the location bar on the bottom never updates.
the function works fine in the Blue Iris PC app. Any idea how to fix this? I tried repairing database, and this has been going on for the last like 10 version of UI3 for me (can't say if it happened due to an upgrade)

Hmm , I'm using the latest version from 2 days ago, 132.
Is there anything I have to do to make the fix work? Change a setting or reset something?
I don't think UI3-132 was ever released in a BI patch. What BI version are you on?
No. It should just work. The fix was directly related to the JavaScript H.264 player, which is the default player in Firefox and in old versions of the MS Edge browser. What browser were you using?
It happens on ally browsers, Brave, Chrome and Firefox. I'm on BIv5 from around May sometime(can't look up the version right now)
I have been updating the UI3 manually from github site. Maybe I shouldn't?
Correct. I do not maintain backwards compatibility when publishing UI3 updates. Breaking changes happen fairly often. Sometimes the changes are minor and you probably wouldn't even notice. But in recent months the changes have been much more significant, hence the problem you've been having.
In fact it isn't always entirely safe to update UI3 manually even if you are on the latest Blue Iris version. Sometimes I get advanced notice of a coming Blue Iris change such that I can prepare a UI3 update to go with it. UI3-132 was one of those updates, which broke one small thing so that a related very big thing wouldn't break when 5.3.6.0 was released. In this particular example, the Blue Iris developer decided to make his change a different way without breaking existing apps, such that the UI3-132 release was no longer needed (which is why BI 5.3.6.0 still comes with UI3-131) . It is all pretty complicated. Suffice it to say, the safest thing to do is not update UI3 manually unless you're on the latest BI version already and the UI3 update has a bugfix you need and you can't wait for the next BI release to get it.

So now I am confused. I have BI set to update for 'Critical and highly stable updates only' and have never updated UI3 manually. I am on BI 5.3.4.3 and UI3 is 129. Why am I not on 131 if that came with BI 5.1.6.0 (5.1 vs 5.3)?
LOL because I typo'd that version number. It was supposed to be 5.3.6.0. Sorry for the confusion!
Thanks for the knowledge! Here I am thinking I'm getting the latest and greatest all the time haha...
Now I'll have to play guessing games until I get to the last UI3 version that worked okay for my BI version.

So I just installed a IP2M-841. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get to the PTZ controls in UI3. The arrow keys on keyboard does not do anything either.
Camera works when I am working off the server computer and I can pan and tilt. The amcrest app as well PTZ works. I just can't find it in the UI.
