Hi I have a peculiar situation with blue iris not been able to connect to another blue iris server.
I have two instances of paid BI running on two different locations. I have always been able to view and record all local and remote cameras on both locations at the same time. On occasion and usually after a router or computer reboot I would loose access to the remote cameras but a computer reboot or restart of the BI server brought them back (I would usually shut down the UI and it asks for an update on restart so I take the opportunity to have BI shut down and restart the service as part of the update)
Today my Asus router at one location blew up so i replaced it. I was able to rebuilt the config and tried to connect to the remote server as usual in order to add all the cameras back. When I couldn't I rebooted the router at the remote location as well and then restarted the remote computer since that didnt fix it, so I lost access to the other set of remote cameras there too. Now each server can see their own local cameras but gets a "302 redirect" message on the remote ones IN BOTH LOCATIONS respectively !
If i go to the camera configuration/video page of one of those cameras and click the video link (url/address) of the camera, it connects to the remote webserver through the browser without a problem and all the cameras local to that BI server show up. If I try to re-do the webserver configuration on either one they both fail at the "remote access test" page and I do not get a "verified server" line, yet the port is visible to "canyouseeme.org" and BI is binded to the correct WAN ip. Another interesting twist is that I can see both of them on my phone running the "ipcam viewer" app. I would also add that I do NOT have UPNP enabled in either location and do not forward any other ports except one TCP port for BI which I monitor occasionally through the router log file and other means.
I would appreciate it if someone was brave enough to read through my post and try to help
Thank you for your time
