    Clips suddenly missing from BI interface.

    Hey all, Today I logged into my BI machine to find that even though all my clips exist in my nominated folder on the HDD, BI doesn't show any of them. This goes for ALL clips, regardless if they're alerts, cancelled or 'all'. The calendar view for the clips even indicates that no events were...

    Damn that sounds awesome, although gotta admit, most of that flew over my head lol. Is there anywhere I can go to learn the basics of MQTT and what the terms like 'publish' and 'websocket' means in this context?

    Interesting. Can you elaborate? Is there a tutorial somewhere? I've got an MQTT server set up on my network but I'm not quite sure how to use it.

    Oh so that's the answer then! Thanks, that solves the mystery. Thought I was losing my mind lol.

    I mean yeah, that's what I mean. With 'direct to wire', this shouldn't be happening, because nothing should be reencoding in order to change the detail level when a solo camera is selected. Is this not correct? Possibly. Does direct-to-wire also intelligently switch between mainstream and...

    Well here's my comparable settings while viewing a single cam, and as you can see, the detail in the image is noticeably reduced when switching from 1440p to 480p. Any idea what could be causing this?

    It's still micro. I found a really small ITX case and modified it to fit a full sized 3.5 inch HDD. Works great now with ~8% total CPU utilisation and 8 cams. Can we stay on topic though please?

    I don't have a NUC. I'm running a new 11th-gen i5 with 16GB RAM and a 6TB WD Purple drive. Running it at 30fps is smooth as butter at 1440p. The point is that the quality visibly decreases in solo cam view if I decrease the resolution. If I understand correctly, this shouldn't happen with...

    Do I pass the sanity check?

    Like this? It was always like this BTW.

    Ok but I've done all that, and changing the quality profile in UI3 still makes a difference to a solo camera view. So the question is - why? Which detail? I've done all of the points you've mentioned. I'm saying that changing the quality profile still changes the quality of the solo camera...

    Yeah I get it. I'm not saying he doesn't understand UI3. I'm saying I don't think he was understanding what I saying, because it seems like we're going around in circles lol.

    Ok. Why though? I've enabled the setting, and direct to wire is also enabled in my UI3 quality profile. Anything else I should try?

    I don't think you understand what I'm saying. The encoding parameters DO have an effect. When I change them in the UI3 UI, the quality is affected when I view a single cam. Are you saying that this shouldn't happen? If so, why is it happening?

    I've satisfied all requirements, and yet changing the quality still affects the quality of the single cam. Is it possible maybe that we're both not understanding fully how 'direct to wire' works? Does it behave differently on your system? Does changing the stream quality not change the quality...

    Ok so that brings me back to my question - how can it be 'direct to wire', if I can change the quality when viewing a solo camera? Isn't the whole point of direct to wire to send the camera stream unaltered to UI3? Obviously if the quality is able to be changed, the stream is being altered, and...

    In the Encoder options in the webserver general settings.

    But that still doesn't make any sense. I've got direct to wire enabled, but when I select a 480p stream in UI3 while looking at the group view, it remains in 480p even when I select a single camera live view. I can tell because the quality is substantially reduced. How can this be direct to...

    So I'm confused. Isn't the point of 'direct to wire' that the original resolution of the camera stream is sent to UI3, unchanged? How can it still be direct to wire if for example I can choose 480p when viewing a solo 4K camera? Doesn't that imply that some re-encoding is happening?
