Keep in mind you don't need to pull full 1080p streams on those small screens. Throttle it back.

Have you tried bringing up BI's built-in UI (webpage) over your LAN using Google Chrome? If not, insure BI is latest (or at least you install latest UI3) and bring it up:
Code:
http://BlueIrisIP:port/ui3.htm

TonyR - I'll give that a try when I receive it. Thanks for the tip.

Since UI3 is now standard issue, shouldn’t the URL end with default.htm?

I just checked and http://BI-IP:port with no specification for ui3 gets you to ui3. No need to specify "ui3" or "login". This is on BI version 4.7.6.1 which updated today.
Depending how old his BI is and how he upgraded his UI files in 'www' to UI2, then UI3; mine will bring up the old UI2 if I end in 'default.htm' then log in with a valid user/pass. For him, I figured ending in 'ui3.htm' would insure he has that Chrome compatibility which is why I suggested in my post #26 above to insure "... BI is latest (or at least you install latest UI3). If he does this, 'ui3.htm' should work great.
Oh, well...
On mine, that brings up the UI3 'login' which in turn, with valid user/pass, bring up the old UI2 'default', which works but is not desired.
Again, having 'ui3.htm' at he end pretty much guarantees anyone the new UI3 launch after successful user/pass, regardless of their upgrade path (like mine, perhaps wrongly, but it works).
EDIT: just updated BI to same as yours, 4.7.6.1 and the above still holds true for me. Probably a glitch / foopah when I unzipped and installed UI3 before it became a part of BI. One day I'll delete and reinstall all of 'www' to make it right...for now, having 'ui3.htm' on the end is the way for me and should work in all cases for other folks as well, even though not needed when it was done correctly as yours is.

You made me go back and double check, Tony. I originally installed UI2 then upgraded to UI3 somewhere along the way, back when we had to unzip into the www folder. Anywho, a double check using just the ip and port takes me to UI3. Adding UI3 to the URL will definitely insure that you get to UI3 but I wonder what's going on with yours. I just tried using UI2 on the URL, was looking at the www folder yesterday and UI2 is still there, and it results in a blank page. Which is normal, blank page or getting UI2 up, is beyond my limited knowledge. Another one to ponder, I guess.
Yeah, mine is strange (where have I heard that before?), but she works for now and as I work down my 'honey do' list and check off various doctor's appointments (getting old is a PITA), I'll straighten it out one day.
As you said (and why I advised the OP), using 'ui3.htm' should work for everybody and anybody if they have the latest install of BI.

You're just lucky, Tony. And I thought I was the one with "all the luck".

Made me look! Long-click on headphones doens't do a thing. A squealch is something you see on walkie talkie and radios. I suppose it has some usuability for survialance.

Quick question for those using Silk or Chrome for the kindle fire hd tablet and (Blue Iris UI3). Is there a way to make just the cams show full screen and not the alert/clips/flagged side? Just with the 8" screen real estate I'd like to just have the cams showing. Thanks in advance.
Your user account(s) probably have their homepage set to ui2.htm. This is something you would have done ages ago and forgotten about. You can just clear that out or change it to ui3.htm.
