Thanks, figured as much, but it wouldn't have been the first thing I missed. 
Quick question/feature request... I find myself using UI3 via my brave mobile browser about 90% of the time when I need quick access to a live event. Perhaps it's because I'd been using the BI app (for android) for so many years, that I now can't seem to shake the "swipe left/right to switch to next/previous camera in group" function, but if that could be integrated somehow, I'd all but abandon the BI app.
Is there any way to integrate such functionality? If that would somehow conflict with another touch/swipe feature, maybe it could be added as a user-enabled capability under settings?
I can't tell you how many times I swipe only to inadvertently dump out of the individual camera and back into the group view.

Hmm. Switching cameras without returning to the group view is not something I ever wanted myself (and I still don't).
Swipe gestures don't make much sense in areas that support zoom, because they interfere with panning. I suppose I could do swipe detection on the video player only if you aren't zoomed in at all. But that seems really janky having a function like that silently enable or disable itself based on zoom state.
Quick question, maybe a bug, more likely user error: when using the new timeline view on a mobile phone, everything works perfectly when viewing "normal" horizontal cameras, and it initially appears correct when viewing a vertically oriented camera (corridor mode) as well, but as soon as I attempt to scroll back in time a bit, the image shrinks to an almost unusable postage stamp sized image.
Your thoughts?
Your thoughts?
What BI and UI3 versions? (open UI3's about window, it says both version numbers there)
That was one of the issues we worked through in timeline development. I'm not aware of a way to reproduce the issue now.
Ok so there are some minor problems if you are streaming at a very very low resolution; my scaling code apparently neglected to enforce 240px dimension limits on single camera timeline views, even though I was aware that BI would ignore the requested size if it was smaller than 240px.
What streaming quality choice did you have selected? Most of them should be okay (e.g. 1080p VBR) but the 144p option has this problem and so can the jpeg modes depending on the size of the browser window.

UI3 Version 204, B.I. 5.5.6.7, and streaming at 1080p VBR V2.
As I said, it is fine initially (live view), it only shrinks to a tiny size when reviewing earlier footage. I have tried other streaming profiles, but they do the same thing for me (at least on my phone, S10E, both in Chrome and Brave browsers.
Edit: Keep in mind that this is only for my one vertical camera, it doesn't do this for normal horizontal cameras.

I get that it'd be a janky solution, but if you're willing to give it as an option, I'd be willing to sing your praises
Well, I'll do that anyway.FWIW, the BI app only allows the swiping to next camera when the zoom is back to 1:1 as well... so that's actually not that janky...
hi all, just a quick q about the auto-maximize feature. Is there currently the ability to change on 'deep stack confirmed / alerted' rather than the 'triggered' or 'motion'? I've noticed it's made its way into an update within the console itself.
Thank you! That would be great.

Getting the hang of it
Hello, I've been having issues with UI3 not accepting my password when I enter it on my phone. No matter how slow and exact I make sure I enter my password I always get password is invalid at least once. I would always eventually get in, until today... Today it failed 5 times and now it has banned my IP. In the Web Server settings I cannot find anywhere that I can un-ban my IP so I get "Access denied" and "You don't have the user rights to view this page" when I try to connect to UI3. I can login with the same User ID on a different device, just not my phone. I will set the options for auto-ban off because I only access UI3 locally while at home and through OpenVPN when away. Does anyone know where the banned IP address list is so I can remove it?
Try BI "Settings" => "Web server" tab, "Advanced".
Found in BI's built-in "Help" file.

Yes, that is where I disabled the "Auto-ban IP after attempts:" and the "Release temp ban after mins:" options. Initially I was still banned. I tried it a few times in a 15 minute timeframe and could not get in but a couple of hours later I tried it again and was able to login. I'm still unsure of exactly how this works. Perhaps there is a set delay once the Auto-ban is unchecked?
@MarkusAgustus Unless you've found some rare new bug, which is unlikely, then it is simply user error.
I don't think the ban list is manageable or viewable. You can only clear it by restarting the Blue Iris service, or wait it out.
Have UI3 remember your password so you can't type it wrong later, or get a password manager to handle your logins.

just found a nice way of getting audio autoplay to work without having to interact in chrome.
My use case is that I load up multiple instances of UI3 on various desktops through MQTT (IOTLink). This loads up UI3 in full kiosk mode. Previously operators would have to interact with UI3 in order to load audio.
Simply adding
Full command:
Hope it helps someone!

--autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required to the launch command removes this need.Full command:

Any chance there is a way to remotely change the UI3 group? In short I have a raspberry Pi running UI3 and want to use a web command or something similar to change the group being displayed. Kind of like you can do with the http command: http://192.168.1.xxx:xx/admin?console=GROUPNAME
yes you can change the group displayed with a URL parameter.

This works though only changes opens it in the browser I put it in, I was hoping to trigger a remote session of UI3 to change group (on the same network).
