I'm guessing this isn't possible, but does anyone happen to know of a way to extend the log in time for the web interface? I have to log back in every half hour or so, which gets tedious.
Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the interface. Select UI Settings. In the fourth selection down set the connect time to zero and you'll stay logged in for ever. Have a look at the UI3 thread here in IPCT/Blue Iris. Lots a great tips for it there.

Not easily. It might be possible to patch the firmware, but that would be difficult.
You can get browser extensions that can do things like click links on a page periodically.
If the goal is just a live video feed, you'd be better off opening the RTSP feed in VLC.
