Blue Iris UI3

[bradner]

My wishlist for the UI3 would be a setting where I could choose "Maximize" so it always maximizes when loading. I've tried using the command in the url that I point Chrome to on my Fire TV's but it seems to lose that full URL randomly and then it's a pain to maximize it on the TV.

Ah ha! On the main screen and not in settings. Guess my logic train got derailed.

UI3 was working flawlessly on the Amazon FireTv Silk browser until a few days ago, the icons of play, next, resolution gear, arrows are all not displaying, is there anything that may have cause this, or any fix available?

I have no idea why only some of the graphics would be missing, as they are all loaded from the same file. Normally it would be all or nothing.

I suggest you try clearing the cache in the browser, exit the browser, and open it again. Maybe try the same procedure on a different device just to make sure your UI3 files did not get corrupted.

I did everything possible, even factory reset the firetv still did not work.
And its really weird since ui3 works flawlessly even on safari. tested on chrome a edge too they are working fine.

Can someone else that has a FireTv 4K with the latest update, confirm its either working alright or not?

Hey aside from the issue earlier I've been having to stay with the version 5.3.7.13 since there is a feature that was remove in the newer version.
On UI3 with the version 5.3.7.13 when you click the delete clip it takes you to the next clip automatically and you can click the delete button again, on newer version once you click the delete button it jumps back to all the cameras feeds, and you have to click the next clip and then click the delete button again each time.

Can this feature be re-added again for next updates?

Thanks.

The behavior you describe from BI 5.3.7.13 is how UI3 currently operates. I'm not sure but maybe there was a bug in some versions between now and then.

When you delete one clip, the next clip is automatically opened (unless there is no "next clip"). There is a setting which affects this. "Clip Review Order/Direction". The default order is "Oldest First". If you want, you can change it to "Newest First" so that UI3 will consider the "next clip" to be lower in the list, a.k.a. older in time. Perhaps this is what you want.

Thanks, changed the order and is working as I wanted thank you.

UI3 is great. I only have one issue. I can't make it default to Javascript. If I change it to Javascript from HTML5, it just goes back to HTML5 every time I open UI3 again. I saw some reference to changing defaults within .js settings, but I can't seem to find any of this.

EDIT: Tried moving ui3-local-overrides.js to the www folder of Blue Iris to no avail.

AHA!!: I forgot to rename the .txt file to .js. Now it works. I also changed the timeout to "0" so it stays on.

If your settings don't stick without a local overrides file, it probably means the cookies and local storage are being cleared regularly by something.

Yeah it was because I forgot to rename the file to .txt.

 

[bp2008]

What I'm saying is the local overrides file is not normally necessary. Something is unusual about your browser configuration if the settings (including choice of H.264 player) are not sticking between sessions.

Okay thanks. There’s another thing going on with my browser not saving login info (for auto login) so that’s probably what’s going on. Thanks for the heads up!

@bp2008 when a camera is triggered and DS canceled the alert the image of the the trigger stays in the Alerts view. UI3 does not automatically clear the canceled trigger from the Alerts list. Is this something you can fix?

Thanks
Mike

No, that is out of my hands. If you want only the alerts that are not canceled, you probably should be choosing the "Confirmed alerts" filter.

That what I thought, Thanks

So I opened an issue with the team that created the WebCodecs API, asking them to remove the HTTPS requirement. But I am worried they will not care about a bunch of lunatics that want to use unencrypted HTTP

bp2008,

The WebCodecs API team has assigned someone to work on removing the HTTPS requirement, see below.

 

[bp2008]

I noticed that the other day. More likely, it just means that person was assigned to deal with the issue, whichever way it goes.

I really don't think Google cares to accommodate us wackos who try to host our own web servers separate from the global internet. I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Heck I would even accept it if there was an easy way to just add a permanent exception for a self-signed HTTPS certificate. But only Firefox has that.

Is there any way to make UI3 play alert sounds only for DS confirmed alerts instead of trigger and/or motion?

No, there is not.
