Ok. Why though? I've enabled the setting, and direct to wire is also enabled in my UI3 quality profile. Anything else I should try?
Yeah I get it. I'm not saying he doesn't understand UI3. I'm saying I don't think he was understanding what I saying, because it seems like we're going around in circles lol.
I'm pretty sure I didn't leave anything out.
- Camera sending H.264
- Direct-to-disc enabled for the camera
- Direct-to-wire enabled for the stream you're pulling
If all those are all achieved, you should be getting the direct-to-wire stream.
We're definitely going around in circles. I think you're just missing one of the details.

Ok but I've done all that, and changing the quality profile in UI3 still makes a difference to a solo camera view.
So the question is - why?
Which detail? I've done all of the points you've mentioned. I'm saying that changing the quality profile still changes the quality of the solo camera view. By your admission, this means direct-to-wire isn't working. My question is why?
Just as a sanity check, edit the streaming profiles you are using in UI3 to have UI enable the direct-to-wire setting instead of relying on Blue Iris's serverside profile.

I don't have a NUC. I'm running a new 11th-gen i5 with 16GB RAM and a 6TB WD Purple drive.
Running it at 30fps is smooth as butter at 1440p. The point is that the quality visibly decreases in solo cam view if I decrease the resolution. If I understand correctly, this shouldn't happen with direct to wire, and reducing resolution shouldn't have an effect. But clearly here it does. Why?

What happened to your Micro Bi build? any insights you can share with the end result of that? People spent a lot of time with you trying troubleshoot that thing.
It's still micro. I found a really small ITX case and modified it to fit a full sized 3.5 inch HDD. Works great now with ~8% total CPU utilisation and 8 cams.
Can we stay on topic though please?
Well here's my comparable settings while viewing a single cam, and as you can see, the detail in the image is noticeably reduced when switching from 1440p to 480p.
Any idea what could be causing this?
I mean yeah, that's what I mean.
With 'direct to wire', this shouldn't be happening, because nothing should be reencoding in order to change the detail level when a solo camera is selected.
Is this not correct?
Possibly. Does direct-to-wire also intelligently switch between mainstream and substream depending on which of the two resolutions is closest to the selected profile? That could explain it if so. But as far as I was aware, it only pulls from the mainstream. Happy to be wrong though.
