Send Pushover notifications with pictures and hyperlinks

So just upgraded to 5.9.9.37 and now hi res .jpeg option is gone from the alert tab. Anyone else seeing this? Will this cause pushover to only get the low quality .jpeg alert.

Edit: Well just tested and still got the hi-def alert .jpeg from my main stream so I dunno.

Is this what you are looking for?

On related matters, you may also find this recent post of interest.
 
Yeah. I guess I’m confused there since it says “sub stream”. It appears it’s still using the main channel stream for the alert picture.

Edit: Your recent post does clear it up.
 
So whats the new string everyone is using to make this work again after the latest update?
 
Running BlueIris 4, yes I know old school but it is still working fine for me and my 4 cameras. Wanting to shift to Pushover from email alerts. I am able to run it fine from Command Prompt manually specifying an alert JPG. I even take the hardcoded image command and put it in the BlueIris Alert / Run a Script and it will send the Hardcoded specific image to me. When adding the &ALERT_PATH that is when things are not functioning. my attachment config is - "attachment=@D:\BlueIris\Alerts\&ALERT_PATH" (which maps to the location where the alert images are dumped)

I am thinking BlueIris 4 macro may be different and not support &ALERT_PATH , anyone have any ideas what I might be missing?

Thanks!

Your assumption is correct. Macro &ALERT_PATH first appeared in 5.2.0.4.

How can I get the url to the video clip display on my Apple Watch? It works very well on my iPhone.

I got it working once (2021) in this post... via an email body link. I cannot recall trying it again since, so YMMV.
One key to getting it working was UI3 argument streamingprofile=Jpeg%20HD or lower.
Good luck!

Also, I played around with using the Pushover Glances API in this post... Once again, it was a one-time thing (in 2022).

Keep in mind you could always use the pushover email instead of the API. You lose some of the functionality with the API but for basic alert with image it works.

No change.

However, to better reflect reality, In my On alert tasks, I did change the hyperlink label in the Pushover message...
from HiRes
-Msg """<b>&CAM</b> &MEMO <a href='&WAN/alerts/&ALERT_DB?fulljpeg'>HiRes</a> <a href='&WAN/ui3.htm?rec=&ALERT_DB'>UI3</a>"""
to JPG
-Msg """<b>&CAM</b> &MEMO <a href='&WAN/alerts/&ALERT_DB?fulljpeg'>JPG</a> <a href='&WAN/ui3.htm?rec=&ALERT_DB'>UI3</a>"""

BTW, this took me down another rabbit hole on how to batch change dozens of Blue Iris key values in the Registry. Now I have a nice Powershell utility that uses the CSV output from the NirSort RegScanner utility. :p

This is odd. It's not specific to Pushover but it was a lack of a playable link generated by curl for the Pushover notification that brought this to my attention. See the Pushover notification below. The "Play Video Alert" link when clicked would no longer automatically open up UI3 then play the alert clip and this started happening a few days ago but it had been working for a couple of years.

LINK CREATED BU CURL:
-s --form-string "token=token redacted" --form-string "user=user redacted" --form-string "message=Alert on: <b>&CAM</b> &MEMO" --form-string "html=1" --form-string "device=MobilePhone" --form-string "sound=siren" --form-string "url_title=Play Video Alert" --form-string "url=&LAN/ui3.htm?rec=&ALERT_DB&maximize=1" -F "attachment=@E:\BlueIris\Alerts\&ALERT_PATH"

When I took a closer look at the above link I realized the IP address above is wrong. Instead of 192.168.1.200 the curl is generating 192.168.0.200. The curl command uses the variable "LAN" to insert the IP address. Somehow the Local, internal (LAN) access setting in BI changed. Anyone have any idea how the LAN changed by itself in BI settings?

BTW, the third octet being 1 is for my home network while 0 is for the camera network as I have a BI system with two ethernet controllers.

That's a new one! I'd email Ken for ideas.

Did you perhaps have a situation where the Blue Iris 'Camera Discovery' process was recently used?
Relevant excerpt from the Help PDF...

This started as a Pushover issue but we can see this is really a BI issue or some systems setting issue on the computer. I'll move this question over to the BI threads. I have an older version of BI. The other thing I see is BI Tools has the wrong IP address and now I'm getting a failure to connect to the webserver as a result of this. But since I changed that third octet from 0 back to 1 like it's supposed to be my Pushover link is generated by curl just fine.
