I surely hope that is the long-term intent. Currently we cant edit the setting/config of the cameras etc. It would be very beneficial if we could admin the core stuff (add/remove cams, update cam settings, etc) from the web UI. Currently we cannot.
Beta b24 is available in the first post.

* Added hotkeys for moving to the previous or next camera.

When I switch streaming to H.264 I get “The video steam was lost” over and over again.

When I try to download any clips it fails.
This may be a stupid question, but I'm new to BI and really this whole security camera thing... sorry, I'm the FNG with a question...
Is the web interface on BI or more specifically your updated web UI designed to be a replacement for regularly launching the application on the BI server? Are there limitations to only using the web UI?
I'm assuming 'yes' so that you can stash away your BI 'server' some place and not have to constantly access the cameras and setup via the server. However, I guess it could also just be a way to access the cameras managed by BI once setup and not really have any functionality for setup or configuration.
Either way, I'll give it a go. Thanks for putting your time and effort into this project!
I have it installed and like it. Took me a bit (found it in this thread) to figure out why my overview page was only doing 5 fps Now my suggestion if I may. Allow us to choose what information we want displayed. For instance the PTZ stuff is just taking up space (I have 6 cameras) on the left side. I don't have PTZ. Profile status is also taking up useful space. Same with server status although that is kinda useful information. Maybe it's already optional to allow these "blocks" to be turned on and off? If not, that would be a useful feature. Thank you.
Ah, I see, thank you. Well what I was hoping for was to free up that space to give the cameras more room so that I can see them better.
If any of the left sidebar sections do not suit you, you can collapse them by clicking on their headings. You can also "disable" some of the items (PTZ, profile, schedule controls) by right clicking on the controls and choosing to disable, and this will help prevent accidentally using them.
The recording cut interval has no impact on streaming. Though I must say that a 1 minute cut interval used with continuous recording is going to produce 1440 clips a day... probably going to bog your system down a bit if you're doing this on multiple cameras, not to mention being really annoying to scroll through.
When you use direct to disc, the "recording 0" profile does not apply.
Try a streaming profile configured like this, just in case there is an issue with your settings.

I've had trouble before when trying a very high quality % without a bit rate limit. I also believe that UI3 would not cope well with B-frames if they were used in a stream, (though I don't think they actually get used anyway, even if you tell Blue Iris to allow them).
Also, for the "Streaming" encoder profiles, you should use the max keyframe interval of 300 to make the stream more efficient. Additional keyframes will do no good at all.
