I apologize. I found the answer elsewhere. No need for the request. I made the changes to the webcast screen....

Probably more of a Blue Iris question but I'll give it a go anyway. So I only run 6 cams at about 20% CPU usage, so on my two outdoor cams that face the street I run them at 25fps. Because why the he'll not lol. My other cams I run at 15fps and I may turn down the outdoor cams down after I install a few more cams. Anyway my webcast settings for all groups are limited to 15fps. When I click on an individual outdoor cam in UI3 it tries to display at 25fps. Any way to limit the individual cams, as 15 is plenty for viewing on my tablet and I get the your CPU is not fast enough message on my tablet. I could just lower my fps but just though I would ask. Please no one tell @fenderman as I'm sure he would yell at me and call me an idiot (rightfully so I suppose).

25 is stupid! Knock it off!

Your right! I should bump them up to 30. Great idea!

I believe it can be controlled by selecting the group (even the all cameras group) and then clicking the gear icon for settings and then entering the default max fps.
Honestly I'm not actually sure it does anything as I believe these are the default settings and I've never changed them.
Well I tested it real quick to 10fps just as a test for my "Top 4" cam group. UI3 is now reporting 10fps . So yep, looks like it works.
D'oh thanks @drunkpenguin, switching to my low bitrate encoder profile (1024kbps) stops the CPU alerts while viewing the cams at 25fps. Not sure why I didn't think of that. I commonly switch to that profile when I'm on a crappy cell connection out in the country. Sometimes the answer is right in front of your face. Thanks!

Regarding framerates.... I just read yesterday in fact on the wiki page for optimizing blue iris.... framerates need to be set on the camera itself. The BlueIris Default max FPS setting seems different... and if you don't have this setting a little larger than the camera setting... it can corrupt your recording files... read the wiki I guess for more info.

Hi @Revlus,
Indeed frame rate should always be set via the cams GUI. I think you are confusing the max rate setting located under camera properties (right click on the selected cam)>Video> Max. Rate with the Webcasting max FPS settings I was mentioning above. The Max. Rate setting auto adjusts I believe. I've heard it's best to set a few fps higher than your actual fps but I'm not sure it really does anything. I do have mine set this way. The Default max FPS setting I was talking about limits the fps when viewing via the browser (and maybe the app not sure?). For instance when I set the value to 5 for whatever group then that group only streams at 5 fps via UI3.

Ah.. roger that. Thanks for clarifying. Just got UI3 going... still learning the options/abilities of each layer, and where the 'right' place is to do certain things.
The group's "Default max FPS" setting only applies to group streams, and individual camera streams can still exceed it. If you need to limit the web UI frame rate for single cameras you must either reduce the frame rate of the source (in the camera's web interface), or configure the user in Blue Iris to have a frame rate limit (Edit user > Bandwidth limit > FPS max). Unfortunately a side-effect of the "Bandwidth limit" feature is that your user will also be limited to only one of the three H.264 streaming profiles (0, 1, 2); the way that works is no matter which profile you choose in UI3 you'll always get the one that is set in the user's bandwidth limit configuration.
I notice that the Android app has a setting for "Hide cameras" with options { "No", "Hidden", "Disabled", "Hidden+Disabled" }. I've never played with it but I suspect that could be useful to add to UI3...
Your question reminded me of that.

I usually just finger pinch zoom and move the web frame to where my camera layout is taking up the whole screen... you can move browser frames freely on phone browsers, like so,

Is there any updates on this problem, dose it in Chrome, Firefox and Ophra, I can't recall a problem with login in IE. I also can not figure out a pattern on when it dose this or why it would be. I can reload the browser a few times and it will allow me to login.

I really have no idea why you get HTTP 403 sometimes. 403 basically means "You aren't authorized to access this". By all means Blue Iris should just be redirecting any unauthorized request to the login page, or sending a 401 response code. 401 is similar to 403, except 401 causes the browser to prompt for a user name and password -- this happens when you have "Secure only" disabled in BI's web server settings.

I love this, the alerts preview is amazing and saves me quite a bit of time, thanks for all the hard work.
Is there any way to have the screen default to the alerts on the left side when I log in. The PTZ screen comes up on the left and is not something I use as I have no PTZ cameras. I click on alerts at the top and that is the view I am looking for. I was hoping this is just an option I missed somewhere? THX!

Each browser remembers which tab you loaded last and that is the default for the next visit.
