Correct Local IP in Blue Iris Web Server

Thanks
I guess it was a different web site that didn't show an edit key
Thanks
Again

I guess the only thing left is to completely uninstall blue iris.
Then start the reinstall.

That should give me back my old blue iris.

Thanks

If you want a complete clean install, do the uninstall as normal, then check the following locations for files, you must be an admin user or know the admin password to do these steps

C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 5 - delete folder if it exists
C:\ProgramData\Blue Iris - delete folder if it exists

Then in the registry (run REGEDIT as administrator) - be careful, there is no undo or recycle bin for the registry, you can totally trash your system if you accidentally delete the wrong items!

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software - delete folder if it exists
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Perspective Software - delete folder if it exists

Now lastly. Can I use the same Ports and IP's?

Thanks

One final question?

Should I uninstall Code Project and the regedit files?

What file should I look for?

I found these instructions on uninstall would to hear your opinion the list:

Below I’ll list the steps I took and will add a couple of steps I wish I had taken to try to avoid the 2.5 hour database rebuild that I endured after the install. Those steps will be in red.


1. Download the full install file for the Blue Iris release you wish to install. Full install files are usually 150MB+, update files are more typically ~50MB.
If your software support is current you can download the latest release from the official download page Home - Blue Iris Software.
If software support has expired, either renew your support or find a full install file for a release that you are entitled to.
2. Export all Blue Iris registry settings - Blue Iris Settings>Export Settings
(I saved both a normal export, and using a shift-click of the Export Settings button a human-readable version. Thanks for the tip @jaydeel )
3. Save support data - Blue Iris Settings>Get Support>Email Support>Copy, then paste in Notepad and save.
4. Export each of your individual cameras - Camera Settings>Export... (the shift-click works here as well)
5. Save camera and group info - Blue Iris>Status>Cameras>Export>Include login details?>Yes
6. Screenshot all Blue Iris settings - Blue Iris Settings>(each tab and sub settings as needed)
7. Screenshot any camera group layouts you want to recreate with layout mode active
8. Uninstall Blue Iris.
9. Delete C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 5
10. Delete C:\ProgramData\Blue Iris
11. Use the registry editor to delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris
12. Reboot
13. Unless your storage configuration is completely stock, with db, New, Stored, and Alerts residing under C:\BlueIris, preserve your existing database and directories by renaming C:\BlueIris to C:\OldBlueIris.
14. Install Blue Iris using the full install file and activate it with your license key displayed in the support data saved in step 3.
15. Launch Blue Iris.
16. Apply any changes needed to the configuration of the Settings>About tab, referring to the screenshots taken in step 6.
17. Apply any changes needed to the configuration of the Settings>Web server tab, referring to the screenshots taken in step 6.
18. Apply any changes needed to the configuration of the Settings>Startup tab, referring to the screenshots taken in step 6.
19. Apply any changes needed to the configuration of the Settings>Storage tab, referring to the screenshots taken in step 6.
20. Shut down Blue Iris.
21. Delete the C:\BlueIris directory that was created by the new installation.
22. Rename C:\OldBlueIris to C:\BlueIris.
23. Start Blue Iris (or the Blue Iris service if set to run as a service in step 18).
24. Apply any changes needed to the remaining tabs under Settings, again referring to the screenshots taken in step 6.
25. Add each of your cameras one by one, importing the exported settings saved in step 4.
If you don't want to import and want to add the cameras by hand, the CSV file from step 5 will give you the name, IP, username, password, and group info for all of your cameras.
26. Adjust camera group layouts if desired, referring to screenshots from step 7.
27. IP Cam Talk would like your permission to enable push notifications

Thanks

Bruce and everybody on this link

For Your information.
Ken from Blue Iris Support did teamviewer and corrected my problems by going to may firewall and adding blueiris.exe to the list.
Everything got corrected that fast.

Thanks for all your advice and help

Joe

Wow, I wouldn't have thought of that. Kudos to Ken

[BruceH]

Joe:

Glad you got it working, I also would not have thought that the firewall could cause issues like that, another lesson learned!

Thanks to everyone who helped.

Have a Great New Year.
