Blue Iris on Apple TV

[dws4wdr]

Subject says it all,
We have BI for IOs devices when will we get a version that will run or just be a "Viewer" for the AppleTV devices? I searched the forum and found very little talk on this subject. Am I the only weirdo ?

Does AppleTV have a web browser? If so you simply type in the IP address of your BI computer and away you go.

No the AppleTV devices don't have a browser. I thought of that years ago.

There's VLC for AppleTV.

It says it can handle RTSP which BI can stream.

Use the Silk browser on an Amazom Firestick and stream BI UI3 on any TV. You have a curser on the IR remote for maximizing different cameras, and setting/changing menu. Forget about all the Apple crap.

I use this app on the Apple TV:

‎CCTV Viewer

‎*** Be advised there is also a CCTV Viewer App for the Apple TV which you can download for FREE once you own this app *** After recently upgrading our CCTV System we realised there wasn't any simple to set up and easy use streaming Apps. So we set about creating one, let me introduce CCTV...

apps.apple.com

You have to enter the URL for each camera or group when you first set it up, but after that it loads quickly.

I doubt there's ever an official Blue Iris app for Apple TV. Too small of an audience to be worth their developer time.

I've used CCTV Viewer on Apple TV for years with a Hikvision NVR... 3x3 grid opens in 2 seconds!!! (9 RTSP sub-streams at 1280x720, 2048 Kbps per stream, Apple TV 4K 3rd generation)

I do wish it would switch to the main-stream when a single camera is selected.
