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

[bp2008]

If it is failing that early in the process, then my guess is it isn't doing the http POST requests correctly. POST is used for a great number of things, from requesting the server status to requesting the clip list or the camera list. My guess is that allcams is actually failing to load completely as well, and you might notice if you attempt to click a camera and it doesn't full-screen. What is this running on? Is the connection being proxied through something?

Actually the allcams page does load properly allowing me to enlarge a camera on click.

I am able to view most web pages through this method. I am trying to get more details on the browser implementation inside hstouch to see what it actually supports but I thought there may be easy to disable some stuff that loads at start up to get it to work.

Thanks again for showing us how to add those parameters to the URL and thanks for all your hard work on this

Interestingly enough, I found a fix for this running on windows. It turns out that this actually users an embedded forms based browser. In windows there is a registry hack to force certain executables to emulate ie11 instead of the default.

Making this registry change allowed the page to be loaded through hstouch on windows. Now to find a similar hack for Android since most of my hstouch clients are running on Android nexus 7

... Most browsers on mobile devices are fairly competent and should not need hacks ...

 

[skarragallagher]

True, and indeed if launched via chrome or another modern browser it works fine.

It is just through the browser implementation within hstouch.

I don't know if this has been answered but I have a problem. If there is only one camera on a server then the option for sound is never presented. Is there a workaround or fix?

Thanks

I thought I had those one-camera bugs all taken care of. Workaround is to add a clone of your one camera in Blue Iris, then you get normal multi-camera behavior.

Try with jpegpull.htm. What version of Blue Iris are you using?

I had the same problem. I restored an older version of BI and it fixed the problem, but I noticed that many of the clips (or alerts?) now seem to have a corrupt date/time.

They might get fixed if you repair/regenerate the clip database.

This is a problem with 4.2.5, it has been reported and the developer/software engineer I believe has reproduced the error. Don't do anything till the next update.

 

[bp2008]

Thanks. I'll leave UI2 alone for now.

I did the same, then when I went back to 4.2.5.0 I really had issues. DO NOT REVERT, wait for the next update to fix the issue.

Installation Instructions

The zip contains a lot of files. Simply extract all of these into the "www" folder in your Blue Iris install. For basic usage, load the "ui2.htm" page:

http://localhost/ui2.htm - You will probably need to modify the URL to point at your Blue Iris machine.

Press F11 to load full-screen mode, if desired.

Make sure you are not using BlueIris version 4.2.5.0

Either upgrade to 4.2.5.1 or downgrade to a previous version.

I just download the bq2008 files and unrar into www folder... when I open ui2.htm I get this screen:

Could anyone tell me the solution please?

 

[bp2008]

Don't load the web page as a local file. Load it through the Blue Iris web server.
