Blue Iris UI3

I misread your explanation - sorry about that.

To be clear, when you say you can connect from the new ATT ISP to your old home via OVPN, you are able to see other network resources at the old place? If that VPN connection is working, then any resources on either side of that tunnel should be immune to any type of blocking or filtering by your ISP.

When you connect from your cell phone (via cellular data) over VPN to your BI server, it works?

ETA: I re-read your post AGAIN and see you've already answered those questions in the affirmative. But to confirm, your iPhone works fine via VPN from 5G, but not from ATT...

That is peculiar. I don't have Apple devices, so I'm not sure how they operate compared to Android on VPN - but obviously there is something unique about how the phones handle traffic when on the ATT network. As long as the iPhones are able to access other LAN resources (can you ping the BI server on the local IP when connected via ATT and VPN on the iPhone?), I, too am at loss.

I can connect via OVPN on a laptop to my old place and RDC to the BI PC and also see UI3. I cannot do either from my cellphone when connected to OVPN and on the ATT ISP. The VPN does connect successfully from the iPhone.

This is correct
 
What I can't seem to wrap my head around is the fact that your cell phone makes a successful VPN connection through the AT&t ISP, but specifically blue iris and RDP won't work. Again, in theory once a tunnel is established there shouldn't be any filtering of ports or applications. I am unfamiliar with apple. Hopefully somebody else that has more experience will be able to chime in.

A few things:
  1. In UI3, right click the group video, choose Group Settings. There, you can disable Fit to Viewport and lock in a specific aspect ratio. Tune to your taste.

Hmm. Did something change in this recently? I scaled everything the way I want and turned off Fit to Viewport, and it looks correct in Timeline if I'm current/live:

but if I go back in time even one tick, I get these small black areas between the cameras:

if I go forwards to Live, then the black area disappears

Why doesn't UI3 play the audio of the clip? The clips are in MP4 format. BI Main app does play the audio
Click to expand...
Blue Iris currently does not support remote streaming audio from an MP4. In the latest version of UI3 you can have UI3 open MP4 files natively which bypasses Blue Iris's streaming pipeline, if you really need the audio. But then the video player is separate from UI3, so it is not very well integrated.

As far as I can tell, Blue Iris just doesn't honor the aspect ratio that UI3 requests anymore for timeline group video. I don't remember when this broke. It seems fine in 5.9.9.98, 6.0.1.8 and 6.0.4.4 but broken in more recent versions. If you want to contact Blue Iris Support they should be able to fix it.

I have one camera that records in MP4 format and I would like to capture the audio, even without the video. How would that be done? So the other 13 cameras record in BVR format.

What exactly are you asking?

Blue Iris is not designed to record audio separately.

This setting in UI3-325 (released 13 days ago) is what I was referring to, which lets you open MP4 clips in a new web browser tab in order to bypass the limitations of Blue Iris's MP4 streaming. The setting is configured by default to "Always Ask" so you don't need to hunt for it in the UI Settings panel unless you've already changed it.
