I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]
- Thread starter bp2008
- Start date
Mine is working properly... I did have to overwrite the files again for some reason. My login page for ui2.htm looked identical to the normal login page (no auto login). But it works just fine for me...

Hi, new to BI and BIT. Am I reading right that BIT will install the live view page for you or is it just to update?
If you use the most recent BIT then it should download the needed files and place them in the correct directory on your BI machine. Then it is just a matter of pointing the browser to the UI2 page instead of the default page for BI.
Yes. First you need to create a file in your /www/ui2/ directory named ui2-local-overrides.js and then you can paste in some script to do what you want. See this post for the script and usage instructions: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthrea...e-live-view-page?p=68737&viewfull=1#post68737
You probably did not extract the files correctly. Try again. The ui2.htm file should be located in Blue Iris' www directory.
The login.htm page from the zip file needs to overwrite the one included with Blue Iris. Sometimes it can be replaced by Blue Iris when you update, so it can be kind of a pain that way. For some reason I don't fully understand, it doesn't do that to me anymore.
Try CTRL + F5. If that works then great, otherwise you probably have a Javascript error which is usually caused by one of 3 things:
1) Your browser could be very out of date.
2) The files did not all extract correctly or they are out of date. Re-download them from the first post in this thread and carefully extract again. Overwrite all files when you put them into Blue Iris 4/www/
3) Your Blue Iris configuration could be strange in a way I did not anticipate, causing the script to be broken.
In this case you can't resolve the problem yourself, you must open your browser's developer tools (CTRL + I or F12 depending on which browser) and open the console tab, then refresh the page and copy any errors you find to a reply here. Some error messages are to be expected in there, since ui2 attempts to load a few files which do not normally exist (ui2-local-overrides.js and ui2-local-overrides.css). You can ignore those. But if you have a script error, that would explain the problem and hopefully allow me to fix it.

I stand corrected. Maybe mine wasn't the latest version when testing, but as of today, the website no longer connects to the server either!

I'm on 4.3.0.4 x64 version. Is that what you are running? Any idea why the generic BI pages work, but the awesome ones won't connect now?
Yes, same version. Check your Web server options and see if maybe the root directory got changed.

I will check out safari soon, thanks for the heads up.
I don't see the problem. It loaded for me, although I rarely use this mac so my safari is probably old.
When I connect, instead of the green box in the lower right, I get a red box that says it cannot connect to the blue iris server... if that helps?
Man you have to be more specific when troubleshooting computers
If you are getting that (is the exact message "Unable to contact Blue Iris server." ???), then you've definitely connected and loaded the ui2 page (contrary to what you were suggesting) but something is going wrong when it tries to use the Blue Iris JSON API. Specifically that message happens when there was a failure with the login function that upgrades your Blue Iris session to administrator. I will see about getting the mac updated but it is not really a priority for me...
I've done a new update, bigger than the last one.
v0.11.0 - 2016-02-27
+ Added a calendar control for filtering clips and alerts.
+ Added a delete button to the clip/alert context menu. To access the context menu, left-click and hold on a clip or alert.
+ Added "unsafe" PTZ option in the options menu, Top Bar section. Unsafe PTZ controls are smoother, but may leave a camera in a moving state if the network connection is interrupted. For what it is worth, UI2's unsafe option is safer than jpegpull.htm's ptz controls.
+ Added optional URL parameters "group", "cam", and "fullscreen".
* Parameter "group" takes a group ID and sets it as the new default group image.
* Parameter "cam" takes a camera short name and loads this camera at the start.
* Parameter "fullscreen" causes UI2's left bar to be hidden if the value is "1" (without quotes).
The download link is the same as always, in the first post of this thread.
