Re: Old clips won't delete

I highly doubt this is the issue but I noticed in your "Stored" folder settings that the drive letter is a capital "G" whereas every other reference to a drive letter is lowercase. Interestingly (maybe?? - depends how dull your day is) everything on my installation is capital. B...

Re: Old clips won't delete

here's the Storage settings snapshot: https://dlee.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-10/p3900972781-4.jpg The converted files go to the same folder. G:\BlueIris\Stored folder. I see in the log that when the storage runs out, I start to get the "Clip: Disk Full" error. But that's expected, right? Even i...

Old clips won't delete

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? For some reason, the old clips won't delete. After 1 day, I move the .bvr files to a new folder and create an .mp4 version. I want Blue Iris to delete the oldest versions (both .bvr and .mp4) once I reach a certain limit. Right now, I have the limit set to 1...

Re: Choppy Video Exports

... If I could open the .bvr files remotely, and convert them remotely, I wouldn't bother. Bi now allows it to be used unregistered for view & export only. Not sure if this would work in your situation. Might be worth looking into. In the 5.1.0 update released February 16, 2020, one of the upda...

Did you see this: by ctfjr » Sun Mar 08, 2020 4:15 am FIXED! fwiw - if anyone runs into this problem (corrupt MP4 conversions) Ken at BI support nailed it. He suggested unchecking the "2 pass for fast open" option on the convert/export page. That's all it needed. I don't remember enabling...

Re: Choppy Video Exports

OK - So now I see my mp4 exports were fine until 3/27 (5.2.2.5) and started doing the same thing as yours on 3/29 (5.2.3.0) and ever since then with all updates to 5.2.4.6. I selected the unselected "Re-encode video to H.264" and now get the smoother videos I would expect with the corresp...

Re: Choppy Video Exports

I export my videos to MP4 format every night. ... May I ask.. why do you convert all the bvr's to mp4 each night? Sure. I have BI running on a headless computer. Every now and then, I want to take a look at a clip from the cam, but when I access the network folder where the files are stored, I can'...

Choppy Video Exports

I export my videos to MP4 format every night. For some reason, 3 of the 5 cameras have choppy video. 1 is a reolink, and 2 are Hikvision. the 2 Amcrest cameras look fine. Here's a clip: https://youtu.be/HJ-IXtLDcgA Any clues as to why this is happening? I looked at the metadata and it says it's 20fp...
