Why is the ui3 quality worse than the console even on lan or localhost?

Still kinda new to this whole thing. Is there a setting im missing?

Did you change the streaming quality that is a pull down box below the PTZ controls?

yeah even when set to max at 4k especially compresses a lot when using ptz but not in the console

UI3 uses profile 0 by default. in blue iris options>webserver>advanced> steaming 0 configure uncheck limit bitrate or set it to something higher than the default 512, like 2048 or 4096.

The current Blue Iris version has a bug where UI3 can't control the bit rate, so you get whatever is set in Streaming 0 like fenderman pointed you at.

What are the default settings for Webserver>Advanced>Encoder Profiles? I jacked my settings all up trying to get better quality stream of multi view (aka channel 1) in tinyCam just to later realize the setting for that is in a different location.

The encoder profile default settings are something like this.



Most web server streams use the Streaming 0 profile. Note that UI3 has its own system of encoder profiles which inherit some settings from Streaming 0 and override others. UI3 specifically overrides the bit rate limit and output frame size with each of its default profiles. UI3's "VBR" profiles additionally override Quality (20%).

If you want a better group stream (multi-view) then a big part of the puzzle is to find where you can resize the frame:

The default group frame size varies based on your camera layout but it is usually around 1280x720 or smaller, which sucks on a large display.
