How to stream video out of Blue Iris

+1^^^.

This URL below works fine, plays on Brave browser (Chromium-based) and VLC.
You can also include authentication in the URL:
  • In BI settings => "Web server" => "Advanced", uncheck "Use secure session keys and login page".
  • Then use URL such as "http://BI-server-IP:BI-port/mjpg/CamShortName/video.mjpg?user=yourusername&pw=yourpassword"

Thank You very much guys for the prompt responses. Yes, indeed this does work from a web browser

192.168.1.5:91/mjpg/MG/video.mjpg

However, it is not good as an input for Google Cast. As I mentioned above I want to stream the video feed
to Google Home devices such as Google Nest Hub and Sony Bravia TV (Goggle Home enabled and recognized).
Meanwhile this test video feed does work.


So my displays are connected and working fine. Just the input stream coming from Blue Iris at the URL above doesn't fit.
Any ideas for another video format to pull out of Blue Iris?

So the above URL worked before....on what device, specifically, could that URL be shown?
How and where did you get the URL that "used to work and it doesn't anymore" ?

This is the big mystery for me as it was like 6 mo. ago and I don't remember how I got it. I found it memorized in Google Cast app that I'm using.

Maybe the /h264/ option?

Well, h264 option doesn't work as I said above. Decided to test it with VLC and it doesn't work with VLC either. Tried to see it in a browser and it doesn't work with a browser either.

Meanwhile this link does work in a browser meaning that Blue Iris is well and alive

@jaydeel maybe something wrong with the documentation or maybe I do need to do something at Blue Iris to enable H264 ???
