I guess I need some help here.
I bought the full Blue Iris app, have 2 cameras configured and they work nicely on my local computer, my LAN.
Ok, now I'd like to put this out on the Wide World of Webs. I have my port forwarded, canuseeme can see it and I have copied mobile.htm, cell.htm, ui3.htm over to my web site.
How do I organize things so that the references to %%SERVERNAME%% and %%CAMLIST%% are found on my local computer. I've tried adding HTTP:/<ip_number:port>/ to
%%SERVERNAME%% but that doesn't seem to work. I just have a blank square where the drop down and the video are supposed to be.


The reason I bought BI was to replace my existing WebcamXP software which is getting kinda old. I also like the ability to add weather information to my stream.
WXP will generate some html code that can be added to a web page and allows you to select one of the cameras to show in the main view window. It references back to the local <ip_number:port> to get the camera info.
BI already has that drop down selection in the cell.htm & mobile.htm files (the simplest ones without any references to clips or alarms).
What I would like to do is have cell.htm or mobile.htm, located on my website, retrieve %%SERVERNAME%% and %%CAMLIST%% from my local computer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx

Port forwarding is not the best hoice for accessing BI from outside of your LAN. Have a look at this thread -
