Blue Iris UI3

You can set up as many camera groups as you like with different frame sizes to achieve an optimal layout in every situation. It is still a lot of manual effort but that is the only method available.
 
Version 35 is now available, bringing a few quality-of-life improvements for H.264 streaming.

Version 35
  • All default streaming profiles now have a unique abbreviation visible in the playback controls area.
  • A new "Maximum H.264 Kbps" setting exists in the UI Settings > Video Player section to more easily tune all streams to be usable under limited bandwidth conditions.
 
Unless you got some other error messages you aren't telling me about, I have no idea what caused this. Something made the browser report no support for one of many features that are required for the H.264 player to load. There's a chance that if you look in the "About This UI" panel while this problem is happening, it might tell you which feature was reported as unavailable. I've had reports before that Chrome on Android would crash and come back in jpeg mode like this, but I've never been able to reproduce it on any platform. In any case, restarting the browser is all I can suggest to fix it.

I'm having this issue with the current version of Chrome on OSX. When I check the about UI page it states that H.264 is not available and I'm only able to view JPEG. I've tested HTML5 and get positive results for H.264, the problem only seems to be with UI3. Can't figure out what I'm missing...
 
Feature Request
Would it be possible to make auto-play and reverse-play work together? Starting from the current clip and have it auto play in reverse, from clip to clip, like playing the timeline backwards. I like auto play, but I always have to assume some starting point where I want to see if something or anything happened. Currently, when selecting both, the program scrolls wildly through the clip list, not playing any of them. Thanks bp.

I wouldn't expect there to be a problem. Anyone else have trouble with Chrome on Mac?

They do work together for me. What UI3 version are you on?

Yes, I have an older MacBook Pro that H.264 doesn't work on.

However, h.264 is working on my newer MacBook Air.

Another issue is neither computer will let me export to AVI using Chrome, but the export function works in Safari on both machines.
 
I only have one mac, OS hasn't been updated in a while. Chrome is at the latest version. Everything works. Safari, everything except audio works.
 
BI is up to 4.7.6.6 and UI3 is up to 36. I switched to Opera from FireFox to get rid of that annoying flicker.
 
I think Opera is the browser that required user input before audio could begin to play. That is likely to start becoming a more common thing by the way.

Aha, you're streaming jpegs, where indeed reverse + autoplay is broken. Actually this is a symptom of a different problem. UI3 was supposed to start at the end of the clip/alert when reverse playback is enabled, but it was starting at the beginning, which in reverse playback means it was starting at the at the end...

I'm about to upload version 38 which will fix it.
 
Version 38 is now available.

Version 38
  • Initial clip/alert playback position is now correctly handled when the player is configured to play in reverse.
  • Opening the video player's context menu on Windows using a touchscreen no longer causes an unwanted click action. Usually.
  • Clip list status text (e.g. "Loading") is now positioned correctly.

Sorry, I meant to say UI3 ver 24, BI 4.7.5.3.
But anyway it looks like your on it (as usual) and in the meantime I'll upgrade.

Found a bug. Running UI v38.

Go into Clips and start playing a clip. Zoom into the picture. Then grab the marker to scrub thru the video and while doing so the picture moves around.

Yikes. This started with version 16! Easy fix. It was just a matter of finding where it broke.
 
Version 39 is now available.

Version 39:
  • Fixed a bug from version 16 where the seek bar did not exclusively capture mousedown/touchstart events.

Mine is a mid-2012 MacBook Pro so maybe the issue is related to the age and not the OS. Running the latest version of High Sierra with everything up to date.

Just updated to V39 from V28. Lots of decoder options to cover all the browsers out there. Brian, thanks for all your "tweeking" on UI3. Your tool is the greatest!
