Hi! I've got this running on an LG tv web browser...it uses JPG for streaming...is there anyway to use the h.264 or better streaming?

I just updated to this version and I can't get the web UI to show up. I tried entering the info from the first post, but it didn't work from any browser on several PCs. Even the PC running BI4 didn't work with the info from the first post. Prior to the update it worked fine using the same info, except using UI2 instead of UI3. Now it won't work either way.

Double-check the IP address of your Blue Iris PC. If it changed that could be the problem. Make sure you're entering the right port number too.

What does happen?

I checked and everything is the same. I also have the ui3.htm file and the default.htm file as well.
Mine put it all into a 'ui3' subdirectory so my URL is
Code:
http://192.168.1.239:81/ui3/ui3.htm
and it works fine.
Not sure how that happened, I plan to clean it up so it'll be in 'www'. May be because I backed up all the .htm into another folder first, I dunno.

Thanks. That's what I just found a a minute ago. That the it put the files in sub directory instead of a level up. So now it is working. Thanks.

I know that this has come up once on this thread a while back but I'm getting the "$ is not defined" error - see screenshot - and I'm not running a reverse proxy. It's just standard ports being forwarded. This error comes up even if I try to use the web interface on the local network. I've uninstalled my antivirus, and it's set up to go through the firewall, and at this point I'm totally lost for what to do. My entire use of Blue Iris depends on me being able to remotely log in from elsewhere. Any suggestions?

I was also getting this error when the UI3 files were in a different directory.

Yep, in case this helps anyone my standard BI installation didn't put the JS files in the applet folder. They were missing. But if I deleted everything and copied the whole contents of UI3 into the www folder it all started working.

Have updated BI to the UI3 non beta version (9). Good stuff. Thanks again for ALL your work! Brian, is there a way to disable the "server status" box in lower left hand area, so there is more room for the alert clips?

@ivanm and @aaronwt , I understand your issues have been resolved so this is just an FYI. This has worked for a couple of folks on other threads today concerning errors opening UI3:

  • Close Blue Iris
  • Go ==>> here
  • Download and extract UI3-9.zip
  • Open the extracted folder
  • Copy & paste its contents to BI's 'www' folder ( C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 4\www )
  • Open Blue Iris
  • Try it again: http://yourBIserverIP:port/ui3.htm

I am not having much success getting the UI3 to open after I upgraded a server to this new version. I have followed the thread above and double checked all IP addresses but I still get "No webpage was found for web address http://192.168.10.10:81/login.htm?page=/"

I checked for subdirectories and I saw a UI3 folder withing the UI3 folder. I tried copying those files to the first UI3 folder to no avail.

Any other thoughts?

I'm sorry about the installation issues. The "$ is not defined" error will happen on the login page if the "loginScripts.js" file is unable to be loaded from the "applet" subdirectory. Ken also emailed me directly about this; apparently it is happening to a lot of people. Looks like BI 4.7.3.1 isn't installing UI3 correctly, and I'd expect to see it solved with the next BI patch, maybe tomorrow.

Thanks @TonyR for posting the workaround instructions :)

Just click the "Server status" text and it will shrink to take up much less space.

My web user interface was working pre update but now I'm getting page can't be found.

When I try to browse http://My_IP the URL gets changed to http://My_IP/login.htm?page=/ and when i try http://My_IP/ui3.htm I get http://My_IP/login.htm?page=/ui3.htm and still page can't be found.

I've tried IE and Chrome v65 and v66, tried on the local machine and remotely, tried enabling and disabling the web interface, tried different port, tried disabling UI3, tried restarting but still no good.

Any ideas?

Edit....

Fixed it by following TonyR's suggestion

I had the same issue. I was able to fix this by going into the "C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 4\www" folder and rename xlogin.htm to login.htm. Now all works fine when going to the normal address. Hope this helps.

Actually I copied the xlogin.htm and renamed the copy login.htm. Wanted to make sure I was accurate in the description of what I did :)
