    iOS push notifications stopped working

    I have Blue Iris notifications also appear on my Galaxy Watch 5 and, weirdly, pictures/thumbnails show on the watch, but when viewed on my S20+, there are no pictures.

    Weird issue: getting "Signal: network retry" alerts on new camera unless I stay RDP-connected

    I'm on the latest stable release with BI running as a service. I do not have the admin console (GUI) running. Anyone run into this before? Following guidance in these forums, I disabled audio recording, and have experimented with disabling/enabling audio in Windows. I've also tried disabling...

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    Maybe???? I renamed the file to *.reg.old and it still threw an error. I moved the file out of that directory. I'm guessing BI goes through that log directory every day, looking for anything older than what we set as the retention limit. Since it can't open that, or the contents aren't the...

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    I changed my config to no longer use the NAS, but still got the error last night.

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    Are you writing BI files to a NAS? I ask because I am, and my NAS is complaining about a drive throwing errors. Can't help wondering if they're related.

    [SOLVED] Encountered unexpected file [camera_name].reg; stopping

    Did you ever figure this out? I'm getting almost the exact same error: "Log: Encountered unexpected file [camera name.log stopping" and this error is happening at midnight as well.

    Who is using Axis cameras because they're not Chinese?

    I know this "apples and oranges" but, via Wireshark some years ago, I caught a Wi-Fi outlet sending my SSID and password to the Internet. I now have my (soon-to-be-replaced) webcams on a subnet that cannot access the Internet.

    Who is using Axis cameras because they're not Chinese?

    Maybe I need to be fitted for an an aluminum foil hat, but I just can't move myself to buy Dahua or Hikvision, no matter how superlative they may be. What Axis cameras are y'all using?

    Yikes. "Hikvision is described as 'partnering with Chinese intelligence entities' "

    "Chinese companies have CCP representation within the companies .. and do expect all companies in China to have to follow Chinese Law .. and that imho includes related espionage" Yes,sir-ee Bob! Ever since I Wireshark'd a cheap Walmart Wi-Fi switch sending my SSID and password out to some...

    Yikes. "Hikvision is described as 'partnering with Chinese intelligence entities' "

    Chinese surveillance technology giant Hikvision has denied it is illegally disguising its products sold to the US government to enable Chinese espionage. It was responding to BBC queries about allegations revealed in a recently leaked Pentagon document. But Hikvision did not answer questions...

    Blue Iris Rich Notifications not working over LAN -- Work fine on Cellular

    Oddly, this only just started happening. But I've also seen discussions here and on other forums that updates to BI seem to have broken notifications for lots of people. When I tried testing alerts from the application on my BI server, it crashed the GUI. Even though I have it check for and...

    [Solved] Anyone else having push notifications issues/failures on Android?

    Thanks for the suggestion, Nanook! I didn't realize the test button was now the lightning bolt (it used to be in the window where you selected the audio alert). When I did that, I got the helpful feedback that the alert I'm troubleshooting spanned another profile - once I un-selected the...

    [Solved] Anyone else having push notifications issues/failures on Android?

    I believe my notifications issue did, in fact, coincide with an update. I don't think (but can't be sure) it was the "big" update to Android 10, but one of the subsequent ones.
