Version 4.5.8.5

[Blue Iris Update Bot]

Support for image preview with push notifications and support for the Doorbird camera, an excellent alternative to the closed-ecosystem “Ring” device

The post Version 4.5.8.5 appeared first on Blue Iris.

I'm still not seeing picture previews in notifications... is there a non-default separate option you have to turn it on from?

 

[aristobrat]

I haven’t seen the preview pictures yet either, but I’m glad that this update fixed the login error message that was happening randomly on both the Web and smartphone logins!

No preview pictures for me either.

Preview pictures working perfectly here.

Preview pictures working perfectly here.

I'm using Stunnel so my connections to the BI server are via https... are you?

Preview pictures working perfectly here.

Could you post a screenshot of one, just so everyone who hasn't gotten them working gets an idea of what they look like?

That's awesome. Can't wait for it to work on my setup!!!

Since I installed v4.5.8.5, I noticed my CPU utilization has gone up by ~10%. Related, it feels like it takes longer to connect to Blue Iris from my iPads, just on local LAN, in anonymous mode. I am using ui2.html via Chrome on iPads.

Also, Blue Iris mobile app on same iPads seem more sluggish.

Anyone seeing the same thing?

What is Blue Iris doing now that is increasing CPU usage? I did not add any new cameras (currrently at 4 cams with 1 clone), or change any hardware-acceleration options. I'm still doing direct-2-disk.

 

[aristobrat]

My CPU is the same. Didn’t see an increase after the update.

image preview is only for ios?

 

[bobfather]

I can't for the life of me get the Image Preview to work with iOS push notifications.

I tried removing the devices from the Mobile Devices section and re-adding them, but still just the regular notification comes through. There's no obvious setting in Blue Iris I'm missing to get this working, is there?

I still don't have images being sent with Push notifications either on 4.5.8.5. Wonder why it's working with some users and not others?

I've been receiving images for a good while now via text: Camera Properties > Alerts > Send an SMS message > Configure > Attach a current image

SMS image alerts have worked flawless but I'm looking forward to comparing it to how the Push feature works. Only downside I can see is I can go to my texts and easily see latest images without even opening blue iris - can't do that with Push notifications.

I'm actively working with the developer to help troubleshoot this. By chance, are either of you utilizing an https connection from your iPhone to your BI server?

 

[bobfather]

For me, sometimes yes. It's not stunnel HTTPS, but rather a reverse proxy via nginx. The Blue Iris app works fine to connect through the reverse proxy and the push notifications also come through fine.

However, when I'm home I just connect via the local (LAN) IP of the Blue Iris server. No HTTPS for that.

In both situations (whether at home, or not), notifications don't have pictures attached. I am running the newest version of Blue Iris on iOS and the Windows machine.

Not using SSL here, and it doesn't work anywhere for me. I am using a different port other than 80.

 

[fbnoise]

I am using SSL (via stunnel) and it doesn't work for me

 

[XBBONE]

I am not using SSL or stunnel. But I am using a different port other than 80. And I don't see any push images

 

[morrisky]

Not using SSL or stunnel either and it doesn't work for me. I also tried removing and readding the device under Mobile Devices.

I am using a different port than 80 as well.
