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

If you test with local connections only (using a browser on the machine running stunnel) then you don't have to worry about firewalls. Be sure to use the address 127.0.0.1

I thought about that but the problem is that stunnel fails at boot and when I reload the configuration it returns an error. This means that stunnel won't run despite it initially run successfully when I configured it. I have tried all possible combinations while editing the configuration. Even experimented with different ports but it keeps failing. This is why I thought it might be a firewall issue after all. However, from what I understand now as long as it doesn't run at all, the firewall shouldn't be the fault here.
 
You're on the right track and probably have a problem with your config file and the certs that is causing it to fail immediately. Check the stunnel log files and it will hopefully be something simple. Use another thread to work out those challenges and you'll get the solution quick enough.

Hi..

Have been using this since day on and its always been great.. Now tho I', looking to integrate this with a HomeAutomation solution.. Thus..

How can I reference a specific cam with a single url ? - http://x.x.x.x/ui2.htm works OK - but then I need to select a cam - what would be fab is http://x.x.x.x/ui2.htm?cam=<camname> - is there anything like this available ?

Thanks !

Ah yes.. OK... So.... Is it possible to jump into ui2 with the ?cam= specifier and have just the cam specified full screen - i.e. No top menu and No Alert bar ?

Cheers !

In UI2:

?cam=frontyardptz&fullscreen=1

In UI3, the equivalent is:

?cam=frontyardptz&maximize=1

When I use the download option from the clips pane on the left, I always get a new tab just filled with code, see picture.

I was looking to create an auto update script with powershell and I was wondering what method you used to check to see if an update was available?

Internet Explorer apparently has trouble with this. Blue Iris doesn't specify the type of content being sent, so IE interprets it as text instead of a file download. I've asked if this can be fixed in Blue Iris.

When UI2 checks for updates, it just loads and executes this script: https://ipcamtalk.com/bp08/ui2_version.js

You could download and parse that file if you wanted to get the latest version info. However with UI3 upcoming I am not planning on doing any more UI2 updates unless something gets seriously broken in it.
 
well in that case, does UI3 have an auto update script? if not would you like any help with that?

-update-

was just reading the UI3 post and it looks like its getting pulled in to BI so their update will handle it... cool!

Is there a way in UI2 to change the grid layout? Right now it's defaulting to a 3x4 grid for 10 cameras. Since my cameras have different dimensions, this makes 4 in each of top two rows and 2 on last row. If I could move cameras to different rows I could maximize the real estate better since the cameras are all different sizes/dimensions.

Thanks!
 
That helps, thanks.

If I set up 5 cameras in group1 and 5 cameras in group2, is there a way for it to show group 1 for 10s then group 2 for 10s, etc? (i.e. only 5 cameras on the screen at a time?

Thanks!
 
I think the "group cycle" thing is capable of something like that, but it probably won't work exactly like you are imagining.
 
Any idea what is happening here. I get these error messages using IE on a Win 7 laptop at work. However, Firefox works fine. Once these errors happen, the machine is stuck and Task Manager is the only way out. Thanks.

Your IE is probably trying to use a compatibility mode which makes it emulate an ancient version of the browser, and that ancient version can't handle the script. I don't know why some people's IE does that.

The second message is coming up on mouse move so if you move the mouse out of the window and use the keyboard to dimiss the message then you shouldn't need to use task manager.
