Sounds like a plan, and I have actually had really good luck with that so far, I am two for two on my requests getting implemented.
Afternoon all. I've been using this pushover notification for a number of months now, and it works wonderfully.
There is one thing that I can't seem to figure out. Each morning, I see the notification from the night before, but I cannot click on the videos. When I do, the app tells me they are not available (can't recall the exact problem) and then simply shows me the UI3 camera layout with real-time videos for each camera.
This happens each and every day.
Any ideas where or why this is happening?

It is probably because you have the DB compacting/repairing every night at 2am (the default setting unless you change it).
Since nobody has mentioned anything, I assume I am the only one experiencing more and more pushover photos not coming over?
No consistent pattern - it will happen away from home or home. Only camera being triggered or multiple cameras being triggered. Happens whether it is the API or the email.
I have not been able to find a repeatable pattern.
@jaydeel - any ideas on where I should be looking at?

I see this from time to time. But never as many as you’re seeing.
Have you checked your Pushover dashboard to see if it shows anything?
This is another reason why I include image and UI3 URLs in the message.
Nor have I !!

Yes, I have tried that too to no avail. I would totally be fine if that worked. So now it causes me to VPN and open up BI.
I think I will send something to Pushover to see there thoughts, but I am sure they will blame it on BI lol.
If a pattern presented itself it would make troubleshooting easier.

Just FYI.
I've updated the original post with links to key posts and appended two new sections: API Reference and Testing.
The goal was to to provide a TLDR option to reading this entire thread, and to facilitate users just want to copy-paste.

i have problem to look videos from last day over UI3 .. Only today Videos working.. Example 1 and 2.
The DB locators used in the UI3 links are valid for as long as the database is not rebuilt or compressed, which is daily at 2am by default.
If you want the links to persist longer, reduce the default database maintenance frequency on the Settings>Clips and archiving tab (e.g., weekly, or every 2-3 days).
Email support if you‘d like to request a change to this behavior. The more requests the better.

How to stream Blue Iris alerts directly in UI3 on ANY device
Just to verify something... Does this work when away from home network? The link uses your server’s WAN address. So it depends on what you’ve entered into the Settings > Webserver tab. Some of us leave OpenVPN running all the time when Away from Home.

It appears that this issue is about to be fixed.
5.5.7.4 - NEW: Persistent ALERT_DB macro values
I just received the following reply from Ken in regard to a request to make persistent the value returned by the ALERT_DB macro (it currently expires after database maintenance operations). OK for version 5.5.7.4, the &ALERT_DB will return a much larger value (be sure to handle 64 bit properly...

I'm going to check it out since I've lost faith in SMS to att.netSeems to work, I did some quick tests tonight after running the routine (daily style) database maintenance, and most clips played fine in UI3. I did have one or two that gave me issues, but then those also played after running the next higher level of database maintenance/compaction.It appears that this issue is about to be fixed.

Ah man, just when I though I had it made...SMH 
I have cam #1 sending Pushovers to my tablet and mobile phone perfectly and the Play Video link works so I set up cam #2 the same way but get error pop-ups in UI3 whe I click the Play Video link.
On the Tablet I get this:
On the MobilePhone I get this:
There's something different between the two cam setups but haven't placed my finger on it yet. On cam #1 everything works according to plan, but for cam #2 I get those pop-ups. Same exact Parameter code...weirdness.....
-s --form-string "token=redacted" --form-string "user=redacted" --form-string "message=Alert on: <b>&CAM</b> &MEMO" --form-string "html=1" --form-string "device=Tablet,MobilePhone" --form-string "sound=DEFAULT SOUND" --form-string "url_title=Play Video Alert" --form-string "url=&LAN/ui3.htm?rec=&ALERT_DB&maximize=1" -F "attachment=@E:\BlueIris\Alerts\&ALERT_PATH"

Try an @ before the &ALERT_DB.

&&ALERT_DB causes it to play all the cams at the same time at the current time and not the triggered time.
e.g. it just causes UI3 to start up like you normally do in a browser.
