Good morning friends. Hope everyone is well. I have been running into something recently and finally decided to post about it here. For the last few weeks I've noticed every once in a while, seemingly at random, one of my ten cameras will drop off with presenting me its regular feed. Instead it'll be some flashing and randomly changing colors. Here's a screenshot example, though when watching it live it changes frequently.
It happens in UI3 and Blue Iris itself on the server. When I open the camera stream directly in its own web interface it does not exhibit these issues. I also happened to have changed out my network switch 3 times. The issue traveled to all 3 different switches (different brands/ages/models entirely). It also doesn't happen on one particular camera as it's happened on different makes/models at random. In total I'd say I have to restart one of my ten cameras every 3 days with one of them surfacing with issues like above.
I can easily restart the camera, and have been, from right within the UI3 interface. I just wanted to see if this may be a sign that I have something not set right. I've had Blue Iris running flawlessly for well over a year and once I had things fine tuned I really didn't touch the settings ever again and this started happening in the last few weeks which made me less suspicious that it was me/a config change I did and more of a possibility that it was a software update, but again, not sure.
When the issue is actively happening, the above screenshot is what I can visually see in real time. If I play back the feed that was recorded at that same time it does not look like the screenshot, but does clearly have some corrupt looking imagery. If a car drives by I'll see a colored blob of the car floating in the air, but it's very degraded and difficult to see. No pink misty clouds though on the recorded portion, just the live portion.
Anyway, if anybody has any ideas or suggestions to try I'd greatly appreciate it.
