    Blue Iris UI3

    Hmm. Did something change in this recently? I scaled everything the way I want and turned off Fit to Viewport, and it looks correct in Timeline if I'm current/live: but if I go back in time even one tick, I get these small black areas between the cameras: if I go forwards to Live, then the...

    Is Blue Iris worth pursuing for my situation, or am I pushing it beyond its practical comfort zone?

    I'm running 28+ cameras on a cheap refurb PC that I got off of amazon for $372 a year ago (costs more now), and it's been zero hassles. I migrated from an even cheaper PC that had been running BI for 4 years, and migration was as easy as moving over the config file. My storage space is a JBOD...

    BIG Owl on my Trail

    Red Tailed Hawk Bonks Me on Head, 05/16/26 Mild-mannered gardener on his way to do some orchard maintenance, and BAM!!! I'm lucky she didn't hit me with her talons. S/he just gave me a bump on the noggin' to remember. Seems like s/he was ok, the way s/he flew away. The side view shows her...

    It was all Claude! I was just watching. It was actually funny; Claude was soooo convinced that 100% of my performance issues were because of this logging thing, and then when it found the malware it actually put exclamation points on its response put its response in ALL CAPS:

    Sorry to hear about your situation!!! You've been a great asset to our little community, so we all wish you well. I did vibe code two quick fixes to some issues, which I posted here awhile back: https://github.com/TheWaterbug/alpr-dashboard-patches I didn't want to bother you with it at the...

    Add Axis MJPG Stream to Blue Iris?

    Unfortunately, no: Your input can't be opened VLC is unable to open the MRL 'https://webcams.avmi.net:1249/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480'. Check the log for details. Nor does: https://user:password@webcams.avmi.net:1249/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480

    Add Axis MJPG Stream to Blue Iris?

    No luck. I've put it in as Generic/MJPEG Stream, but no combination of port number in the URL or in the Media port or Discovery port results in video. I always get an HTTP 400: Bad Request. And I have the protocol set to https, exactly as it is in my working browser link, and the path to the...

    Add Axis MJPG Stream to Blue Iris?

    My cat is at a specialty vet for radio iodine therapy, and they've provided me with a link to her live webcam: https://webcams.avmi.net:1249/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480 plus a case-sensitive username and password. These work in my browser, and I'm watching her now. I can't...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I went wayyyyy down the rabbit hole in this, and asked Claude to do a controlled test of CPU and RAM usage in the container, of the old logging routine vs its new logging routine, under a set of simulated loads and current log-file sizes (since the pathology is a function of both)...

    Closing the port forward would stop the crypto miner from getting out, but it won't clean it from the container. You'll want a fresh pull from GitHub to ensure a fresh image.

    Crow Strikes Again, Eating Finch Eggs I thought this nest was safe, but apparently not. The crow swallows 3 of the eggs, but leaves with 2 intact, presumably to feed to their own chicks. Nature is brutal.

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Bad news and good news on this: I put Claude on the case this morning, and the problem isn't the application, it's MALWARE!!!!! I had stupidly opened a port-forward the ALPR container, assuming that my ridiculously long password would protect me. The app is built with Next.js 15.0.3, which has...

    I'm having the same issue with the built-in (ONNX) AI, so it's not limited to CPAI.

    Blue Iris UI3

    I did try this, but I didn't get the result I expected. The wider camera just got wider, and it didn't force the 2nd camera to the bottom row.
