Yikes.Just fixed it...some odd internal DNS issues on my network, my pFsense firewall is flaking out. When I go to the IP of the BI server the gui works perfectly, but the hostname does not. Thank you once again.
Yes that was it, I had forgotten to put the routers IP in the DNS forwarding settings...woops.Yikes.
When I use my dynamic DNS hostname to connect to Blue Iris while on the same LAN, the traffic goes through my router instead of directly to the Blue Iris server. Most likely the same thing going on with you. It might not be DNS failure at all, but instead a failure of your router's hairpin NAT.
1) I think default2.htm is still in the zip... is it not? It is just a slightly modified version of default.htm that I have not updated in years. One of my first attempts at a better web interface.Haven't visited this thread in awhile so please excuse my ignorance.
1. What happened to default2.htm?
2. What's the difference between livestream.htm and default.htm?
3. I get poor framerate (~10 fps) when viewing through UI2, and even worse framerate (~3 fps) when viewing a single camera through UI2. What can I do to get as much framerate as possible?
4. What's the recommended option for maximizing framerate? For that, is it still best to stay with the Internet Explorer ActiveX plugin?
Thanks in advance.
Only what Blue Iris supports natively. You can load any camera cycles you have configured via the dropdown box at the top of UI2.I'm just getting started with Blue Iris and all the features. I really love this web app you made.
Is there a feature to cycle through active cameras in full screen at timed intervals?
It is there, if you actually download a release from the releases tab and not just a copy of the repository. The results are very similar (since UI2 does not have a "build" process) but as you've noticed not everything I include in a release zip is in the repository. Technically it is a bit inappropriate for me to even include the old pre-UI2 pages on the github site at all, but I'm too lazy to deal with a separate release zip just for UI2.Regarding #1, I was looking at the Github repo and the releases on there. Default2.htm is not there.
Perhaps. But I was releasing the bp2008_bi_webserver_files.zip here for a long time before I ever put UI2 on github, and I didn't want to confuse people by changing where the downloads would be served from.Shouldn't the Github repo be treated as master and all downloads be obtained from there?
The frame rate is usually somewhat limited by Blue Iris when you are showing a group of cameras in a web interface or mobile app, and there is nothing I can do about that. The Java client will be the worst frame rate of all.I guess what I'm really looking for is just a webpage that is designed to be viewed 24/7 on a monitor or big TV so I can just see all the cameras at a glance with both maximum quality and maximum framerate, but also taking into account that I might not be on a home network and have 1Gbit to spare, so the Java client is not feasible. The livestream.htm does a great job of this but unfortunately the delay is not modifiable.
For now I've been rolling with the UI2.htm page with the alerts bar minimized and then put the browser into full screen mode (F11), even though framerate is not at the max for each camera. If there's anything I can help with with your better solution idea then let me know.
Sure, it was easy so I added it as an option for you. I'm not going to do a whole release with a new version number and everything just for this, but I committed it to github. If you want it you can get it by going here and clicking the green "clone or download" button, then Download ZIP.

Thank you. Just another one question. Will overrides works for this option?Sure, it was easy so I added it as an option for you.

The option is at the bottom of the "UI Behavior" category.
YesThank you. Just another one question. Will overrides works for this option?
I will keep that in mind, but if you want to measure the bit rate I suggest you just use Task Manager or Resource Monitor to read the network stats.Now that H.264 is working well would it be possible to have an option to overlay some stats on the video? The default settings look awful. I raised the bitrate limit and that seems to have improved it greatly, but I'd like to see what rate the video is actually streaming at if that's possible.
That makes sense. Do you have any suggestions for encoder settings aside from raising the bitrate limit? Also would it be possible to implement limits on the client-side instead of the server? This would let me have different settings on my PC on the LAN vs my laptop on the WAN.I will keep that in mind, but if you want to measure the bit rate I suggest you just use Task Manager or Resource Monitor to read the network stats.
