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

You mean to change where each camera appears in the grid? Alas, no, this is controlled only within Blue Iris's local GUI and the ordering affects all users and all camera groups at the same time.

Understood. Thanx.

Hello Brian.

I came across an interesting "feature" today - if the "View recorded clips" flag is switched off for a user in BI, UI2 generates an error message: "Failed to load clip list. Will try again. parsererror SyntaxError: Unterminated string constant".

In this case would it be possible for you to either disable the clip list or parse that flag and set some kind of "No Clips" message?

Thanks so much for this excellent web interface - it really makes a difference.

- Andrew.

The error you describe is a Blue Iris bug which I reported last weekend. It should be fixed within the next few Blue Iris patches.

 

[Andrew S]

Great - Thanks for the very quick response.

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.

First of all thank you for the work you've put into this! I'm having the same issue, attempt to login and it reverts back to the login screen; It seems sporadic. I find that ctrl-alt-del and clearing all cache & cookies seems to fix it temporarily. Do you recommend reporting the issue directly to Blue Iris? My support has run out so i'm not sure if they care to hear from me or not!

Are you running the latest Blue Iris version (4.5.7.2)? Some of the recent Blue Iris versions had a bug where logging out using UI2 ended up sending you to a login page with a parameter "page=/logout.htm". The result of this was that once you logged in, the login page would send you to logout.htm, you session would be logged out, and you would be sent back to the login page. That is the only cause of the login-screen-revert that I have been able to identify.

Also, while this won't fix any actual bugs, it may serve as a workaround for you to bookmark the ui2.htm page itself (don't bookmark login.htm). When necessary, Blue Iris will redirect you to login.htm with a "page=/ui2.htm" parameter.

If none of that helps, we can try to figure out what is causing this for you, by other means. I doubt that Blue Iris support will be able to help with this.

Yep, 4.5.7.2 I'll have to pay closer attention to the URL when it happens again. I've got domain: port/ui2.htm bookmarked but unfortunately it hasn't helped when this bug has arose. I'll try to open a ticket with B.I. and update this post if I find a solution.

New user to Blue Iris and interested in this interface after all the positive comments.

I hate to ask a stupid question but where is the www folder? Do I need to create a new folder and name it www? Or should it have been created when BI was installed?
I do not see it under the BI install. Just folders for clip storage.

Look at Blue Iris options , web server tab, to see where the web server root folder is. That is normally "www" inside the same folder as BlueIris.exe.

 

[Mappy]

Mines at: c:\Program Files\Blue Iris 4\www

Mines at: c:\Program Files\Blue Iris 4\www

Found it at that location. I had only looked at c:\Blue Iris 4 and c:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Iris Active X control.

Thankyou Mappy and bp2008!

I have BIv4 running on a dedicated WIN 10 Pro PC.

I was able to open the ui2.htm file using a MINIX mini PC running WIN 10 PRO hard-wired to the same LAN.

I also have a MINIX Android mini PC hard-wired to the same LAN but I was not able to open the ui2.htm file using the Chrome app. Is there an Android browser app that will open that file? I assume this is an Android compatibility issue since the MINIX WIN 10 PRO mini PC works.

Chrome on android has no problem opening ui2. What URL are you trying to use?

192.168.4.134:87/ui2.htm
Same as used to access from the MINIX WIN 10 Pro machine.

 

[bp2008]

And what happens when you try to load it that way?

And what happens when you try to load it that way?

I will report the exact Android/Chrome error message when I get home.


Additionally, both the MINIX Z83-4 WIN 10 machine and the MINIX U9-H Android machine are hard-wired to the same router. The BIv4 server PC is reached via WIFI from an AP off of that same router. The paths from both MINIX machines to the BIv4 server are essentially the same. I’m sure it’s an issue with the Android machine & Chrome but I hope someone has solved this previously.

I hope you don't mean your BI PC is connected to everything else by wifi. The BI computer is the very last thing you want to use wifi on.

Anyway it is highly unlikely that your problem is network related.

I am connecting the BI PC to the LAN via WIFI until I get it moved to a better location. Then it will be hard-wired as well. Haven't had any issues I can contribute to the WIFI connection.

Tried again on Android Chrome and Android Firefox. Firefox just went to a Yahoo search. Chrome returned the same results. See attachment.

See the ERR_UNSAFE_PORT thing?

I've never seen that error before but google tells me it is because chrome is blocking some non-standard ports.

Change Blue Iris to listen on port 80 (which is standard for http) or 81 or really any other port besides those listed in the spoiler block above.
