blue iris suddenly started deleting the videos, it gets to about 60 or so and poof they are gone. i tried deleting them and reinstalling the update BI but that did not help. this just started in the last 2 weeks.
sometimes when I click to view a video I get this error 80004005. other times. at the same time my HK mini PZT camera started just taking snap shots no video.

thanks for the help

clips and archiving...it has to delete video to make room for new video...80004005 is likely due to recording to mp4 format without having an mp4 codec installed for playback...search the error on the forum.

In the "Clips and Storage" system settings check what the amount of storage allocated is. I known that in my default install it used a storage limit that was very small. Just increase that to something suitable for your installation.
