Another question already. I am trying to have each camera send a unique sound. I have uploaded a new sound and replaced the "sound= " in the string but only still get the sound from the "siren".
Blue Iris UI3

Doesn't seem to make a change. Still only get one sound notification. Would be nice to figure out different ones base on location or trigger event. Oh well. Anyone else know?
Don't wanna be that guy LOL, but none of this is related to UI3...
You should be putting these questions in the pushover thread:

Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks
I've figured out how to send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks from Blue Iris Actions without using external scripts. This approach uses curl and the Pushover API, and provides functionality similar to that recently described for Telegram . EDIT (5/16/2022) - For those who...
Do your custom sounds meet these requirements per the Pushover custom sounds API?
“… sound files must be in MP3 format and are limited to 500 kilobytes in size, and for iOS devices, cannot be longer than 30 seconds or they will not play.”
In case you're not aware, 2 things:
- You posted the above 3 times in a row and NONE of it has anything to do with this particular forum's title "Blue Iris UI3"
- You should have posted in a new thread.
This is now working for me. No changes or updates to my BI machine or the client running UI3.
In UI3, would it help you to click on the drop down at upper left for "Database View" and select "Alerts" instead of "All Clips"?
I don't use UI3 that much, so I'm sure I'm not much help. My version of UI3 is not very new either, it's 153.
Hi again. Haven't seen you around in a while. No news is good news I guess.
I'm not sure where you have your snapshots being saved versus the clip files, but if you update Blue Iris you will have some more options for viewing and filtering clips.
UI3-120 added a bunch of new clip list filters. That should be in Blue Iris 5.3.2.11 (released Sept 25, 2020) if your support plan is good to at least that date (otherwise BI would revert to trial mode). Or it might work if you install the UI3 update manually in your current Blue Iris version from here according to the instructions on this page. In particular, UI3-120 will let you filter the clips by folder (new/stored/Aux 1/etc). Again I don't know how you're doing the snapshot saving so that might not be any help being able to filter by folder.
If you go all the way to latest Blue Iris (you'd need a new support plan renewal if yours isn't still active) then you can use the Timeline tab in UI3 which is a great deal easier to navigate large amounts of time with in my opinion. It gives you this zoomable timeline where you just click and drag to go where you want in time, and zoom with mouse wheel. It is touchscreen-friendly too. This would naturally skip all of your snapshots. But you don't get any thumbnails so you'd need to do a lot of seeking depending on what you're looking for.
If you do update further, then I recommend exploring the Sub Stream support that BI has. It is supported in your version but it was relatively new and buggy back then.

In the latest UI3 with BI5, in timeline view, when viewing live video it will play live audio too, but if I scroll back in time to view recorded video, the audio is muted & grayed out and can't be unmuted. This happens whether all cams are viewed or one cam is soloed. Is this expected behavior? If I view the same footage as a clip, then audio works.
That is right, Blue Iris doesn't support audio with timeline playback yet. If more people send emails to Blue Iris support asking for it, it will increase the priority of having it implemented.

Thank you very much! I understand my use case here with running ui3 within an iFrame is not general practice
Strangely, cookies are enabled and I don't receive the toast error when logging into ui3 directly, only when running through an iFrame.
I will test the update the and post back here.
Following up on this after having another look at what is happening. It's even stranger... and I still don't think it's anything to do with UI3 unless there is some workaround using BroadcastChannel or similar. Posting for curiosity and interest!
I have tested using three methods; Safari.app, Safari WebClips via Profiles and Kiosker.app (A fullscreen iOS app). Webclips and Kiosker.app both allow full screen. Safari.app does not.
If the page with UI3 is displayed within an iFrame using the default Safari.app, everything works as expected. Session Cookies and LocalStorage are retained.
If the page with UI3 is displayed within an iFrame using WebClips or Kiosker.app, Session Cookies and LocalStorage are not retained.
If I load UI3 WITHOUT being within an iFrame, Session Cookies and LocalStorage are retained using all three methods...
I've been attempting to find information as to why this would be the case, but I haven't found ANY discussion on the topic. I don't understand how it can work in Safari.app but as soon as you use safari through a WebClip or similar full-screen app, it doesn't work.
As you can tell this is frying my brain. I don't see why Apple have to make this so difficult! I may just have to chuck the iPad's in the bin and be done with it
I am getting frequent "green screens" on UI3 - regardless of OS. PC and phone. It clears up if I back out of the problematic view and attempt again. Happens one out of ever 5 or so attempts to bring up the cameras. It'll do it on individual cameras, or even indexed views:

scrambled green screen
Over the last 3 days i am getting this odd scrambled green screen image on all of my cameras. It's random when it happens, but happens constantly. At first i thought it was the Intel VPP, so i turned that off, but still does it Anyone else ever see this?
There's another thread about the green video issue too: What is causing the green on my cam?
It is unclear to me what is causing it. Looney2ns said he has been getting it intermittently for months but I think for most people it only showed up recently. I haven't seen it yet myself on any of my systems.
Simple fact is, UI3's HTML5 video player backend implementation is extremely dependent on the browser, the OS, and the hardware you run it on. To complicate matters further, Blue Iris can change how video gets encoded with any patch, without it being mentioned in release notes.

That was only a function of UI2 which was useful because, as a third-party addon, UI2 was something you needed to install and update manually. So there was value in being able to use one UI2 instance to connect to many Blue Iris servers. That is no longer the case with UI3, so you can just put all your UI3 bookmarks into a folder in your bookmarks bar to have a very similar server-switching experience.
UI3's backend does technically still have the ability to be redirected to a different Blue Iris server, but I do not have a user interface for it because it would have created a lot of pressure to maintain backwards compatibility with older Blue Iris versions, which is a serious maintenance hassle.
Ok with your permission can I use your existing code of Ui2 ( I found it on the internet ) and use the new feature in Ui3 using the file ui3-local-overrides.js to add this functionally myself I know its a lot of code modification to make it work but i am sure I can do it.
