in the address bar then. Or show a screenshot of the browser window. I might not understand what is going on.Yes, and this can be found in the "Help" section of UI3; Look for the 3 dots in upper right corner then "Help" => "More Topics" => "URL Parameters".Is there any way that anyone knows of to set UI3 up to default to a different group of cameras? I don't want all cameras, I rarely if ever want to see the internal cameras, I'd love it to default to the "Outside" group.

Sorry, must have missed this first go-around (too early for me, I guess).Edit: I just thought I'd mention I found the option to pass it in the url but I'd really like it to be the default if I can

ui3-local-overrides.js
script containing all of your current settings (including the camera group you loaded last). If you place that file in the C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 5\www\ui3
directory, then everything in that file will become the new default settings for everyone that connects to your UI3. This Help page talks about it in a bit more depth.I'm bookmarking this!! ^^^^^Yes.

This only has an effect if you use "limit decoding" on the server, but then it is quite a good effect for CPU savings.Unticked 'Require/decode all video frames (streaming or timeline)
I have never seen any evidence this actually does anything. Nvidia acceleration supposedly works, though I've never had the opportunity to try it on a card that supports hardware video encoding.Enabled Intel QSV acceleration in the Encoder Options under general Web Server encoder configuration.
Correct, this can only affect single camera LIVE streams where the camera is encoding H.264 (not jpeg or anything else).Enabled 'Direct to wire where possible', even though this only really helps when viewing a single camera (if I understand correctly).
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?You could lower the resolution of the stream going to UI3. There are a lot of ways to do that:
Yes, that is the point. Each video stream will either be direct to wire, or it will be a re-encoded stream. It can't be both at the same time.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?
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.If you choose 480p but you have Direct-to-wire enabled, then you'll get a direct-to-wire stream when that is available (single camera live view encoded with H.264), otherwise you will get a 480p stream.
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?If you enabled that for the "Streaming 0" profile then it should work. Do note that if your cameras are sending H.265 then it won't work for them.
If you can change the quality, then it isn't direct-to-wire. You're clearly missing one of the requirements. I didn't mention before, the camera needs to have "direct-to-disc" recording enabled too.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?
Yes.Isn't the whole point of direct to wire to send the camera stream unaltered to UI3?
If you can change the quality, then it isn't direct-to-wire.Obviously if the quality is able to be changed, the stream is being altered, and is therefore, not 'direct to wire'.
How is this then 'direct to wire'?
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 of the single cam view for you?If you can change the quality, then it isn't direct-to-wire. You're clearly missing one of the requirements. I didn't mention before, the camera needs to have "direct-to-disc" recording enabled too.
Correct. When direct-to-wire is working, the other encoding parameters from the streaming quality have no effect.Does changing the stream quality not change the quality of the single cam view for you?
