I made a better remote-live-view page [OLD]

I copied all the files to my www folder and used IE to access the webpage from the local PC using the computers IP address, and it worked fine, when I try to access the webpage over the internet from a remote PC I get the following error

An unexpected error has occurred in Blue Iris Login (version4)

If you wish to report the error, please SCREENSHOT^ the browser now.

Unable to get property ‘getItem’ of undefined or null reference
URL: http//censored_hostname/login.htm?page=%2F
Line: 204
Char: 5

Any thoughts on a possible cause and what I can do to fix this?
 
That is a strange one. Line 204 of login.htm is the script attempting to read a setting from the browser's local storage. However line 203 is the script testing to make sure that the browser supports local storage in the first place.

What particular browser version are you using on the remote PC?

I was using IE 11 on a win 10 PC, I will try with a different browser a bit later today, have to go to a funeral at the moment.
 
Probably you have local storage disabled then. It could be bundled in with cookies or something. Anyway I will improve the feature detection I guess.

When I went back to test it, everything is working properly, I even tried another windows 10 system with a clean copy of IE 11 and it works with no errors. The only thing I can think of is that some problem in my PC was cleared by doing a shut down and restart. Further testing will have to wait for another day, I need to get some sleep now!
 
New GUI is awesome and I have no problem at all logging in to BI and get ui2.htm as the default page when logging in from different computers locally within my LAN.
The new GUI is really cool and slick!

However, when I try to access BI remotely via WAN I do get the new and modern login page but when I enter my login credentials it just reloads back the page to the login page again.
If I start a SSH session to my router with Putty and create a SSH tunnel and then do "localhost:portnumber" it works fine to login.
So this seems to only happen when I try access directly BI via WAN (this worked fine before the new GUI was introduced)

I have tested with both having "ui2.htm" populated in the "home page"-field for the user in BI and with that field empty but no difference. It just reverts back to the login page when I press login.
I have also made sure to restart browser (both Chrome and Firefox) to make sure nothing is cached.

Sounds like a tough one. If you like, set me up a user account temporarily and send me the public address and port number by private message ("Conversation"), and I should be able to figure out what is going wrong.
 
I have 11 cameras and am using UI2 to view them all collectively or individually by clicking on a specific stream. Is there a way to bring up a specific camera's stream directly using UI2 with an HTTP or HTTPS URL without having to first open the multi-camera view and then clicking on the required stream? Thanks.

Yes. Get the short name of the camera you want it to start with, and add a "cam=shortname" argument to the url, like this:

ui2.htm?cam=porch

Exactly the same problem for me, just I'm trying to use reverse proxy.
I'm also not able to login locally with new gui. After login I'm getting - you are not authorized to access this webpage or something like that. Old GUI works, but only local login. From wan behaviour exactly the same as with new GUI, login page reload.
 
CrazyFin sent me login info, but the credentials he sent did not work (probably the account isn't enabled).

If you want, Jury, you can set me up a temporary account in Blue Iris and send me the access information in a private message. I'll see if I can figure out what is wrong.

Sent all required in PM.

Thanks.

For anyone experiencing a similar issue, the problem Jury was having is that Blue Iris appears to be sending a "403 Forbidden" response where it is expected to redirect to the user's homepage. Everything looked fine and normal all the way through the login procedure (the login completed successfully) but something failed afterward. I informed the Blue Iris developer of this, but I suspect more people will have to report it before he can find the cause.

CrazyFin's situation sounded a little different so we'll see what happens there.
 
Is it possible to implement in UI2 option to change cameras sequence on dashboard? Of course for each login independently.
