Blue Iris UI3

There are a few built-in UI settings that might help. This one controls UI scale in general:

While this one just adds more clickable space around all the playback controls:

To target just that one button, you could write something like this into ui3-local-overrides.css

CSS: 
#clipFullscreenButton
{
    width: 35px;
    height: 35px;
}

Thanks, for the prompt replies. This is what I was looking for and will give it a try.
And huge thanks for ui3, I use it so
many ways!

For the "Key frame is required" error, just update Blue Iris to latest again. UI3 was updated to apply the current workaround automatically.

It may break again when iOS 17 comes out, and if so I will update UI3 again.

Which version would this be? I just upgraded to 5.7.4.2 and have started getting the error. iOS 16.4.1

Thanks, these work as suggested but I still have difficulty activating the full screen icon on my touch pads.

The other icons (resolution and auto-maximize) work perfectly, so I am thinking that it is the location of the Full Screen icon at the very lower right edge of the touchscreens.
==> Any way to move the location of the full screen icon (or change the order of the icons)?
Thanks!

I struggle with this on my iPhone as well. It's take a lot of tries to finally get it selected.

I don't understand how this is an issue. It is no problem at all on my android phone. Are you all using badly designed cases with built in screen protectors that don't lie flush at the edges or something?

Have you tried changing the UI scale or adding padding as I recommended via UI Settings?

I could probably add an option to add more padding on the bottom, left, and right sides of the playback controls section without making the buttons larger, but I'd need to have some idea of how much is needed.

I can mess with it more later to see why it is I have issues, but I can't get UI3 to load on my phone without erroring out currently, so it might be some time before I can try again.
 
I have no issue activating full screen on my Galaxy S21 for what it’s worth. Clicking the full screen button at the bottom right puts it in full screen immediately.

Its a small amount of screen on my phone no doubt for all the things that UI3 presents. I can’t imagine having to view my cameras like that all the time. The smallest screen I typically use is an iPad and really I want my desktop monitor to see stuff even better.

I think it might be an IOS thing with the icon in the far right lower corner, almost off the screen.
The other icons to the left of the full screen work fine.

The large scale and padding help but the icon is still hard to activate with touch.
It is reproducible with my iPads including a fairly new iPad Pro.

Maybe my finger is just too fat.

Same problem here on Ipads using UI3 and trying to get into or out of full screen mode.

I see the same.

BTW, the issue goes away if you add UI3 to the Home Screen (via Safari’s share icon), then open UI3 from the resulting Home Screen icon.

As a kludge fix… perhaps a dummy placeholder icon could be added at the bottom right location, shifting the existing icons to the left.

Same issue on my iPad now that you guys mention it. Strange I can activate full screen no problem on my Galaxy phone with a small scree.

My assumption is they (Apple) changed their Media Source Extensions (MSE) implementation such that it no longer accepts mp4 fragments that do not begin with a keyframe. Such a change would go largely unnoticed because the overwhelming majority of MSE usage is for VOD where all the video is already prepackaged in chunks that always begin with a keyframe. Low latency live streaming (such as what Blue Iris's web server does in ALL video streaming cases, even playing recordings) cannot function with such a requirement. The efficiency, the video delay, and the responsiveness would suffer enormously.

More noodling about this. What does a renderer do if it has mp4 fragments that don't start with a keyframe? How does it render anything?

Could it be a software bug? Like, is it ignoring the first N clicks of the fullscreen button?

Hard to tell. It seems to work intermittently, sometimes after a bunch of clicks sometimes not.
I have tried different combinations of presses without much luck. Works fine with mouse clicks on Windows PC.

I would actually prefer another option to load full screen on the touchpads because even with padding the icon is small and my fingers fat.

Not that I can discern.
I've pulled up the Safari web inspector for UI3 on the iPad (you must connect the iPad to a Mac to do this), and see no errors reported in the console while attempting to click the full-screen icon.
