Blue Iris

Today Blue Iris 5 started to crash every time it was launched. The Windows Event Viewer gave the following error:

After much Googling I did the following to fix the problem. Not sure if this solution has been posted before.

1) Disconnect the PC from the Internet
2) Start Blue Iris 5 (If it still fails to start then it is a different problem)
3) DISABLE all Cameras
4) Connect the PC back to the Internet
5) One by one start to ENABLE your cameras
6) If Blue Iris crashes disconnect from the Internet again, and DISABLE the camera that crashed Blue Iris
7) Reconnect to the Internet and continue ENABLING all other cameras that don't crash Blue Iris
8) Delete cameras that cause the crash and add them back.

Hope this helps.

Mine is doing the same thing... However, sometimes it will run for 5 minutes, and sometimes several hours before it crashes..

For me Blue Iris 5 has been pretty stable. It is running on a new Dell i7 with 16 Gig, operating 8 x 4K cameras of different varieties all from Aliexpress. Yesterdays issue all started when I double clicked on a camera to go full screen. After that I could not exit full screen no matter what I did, I ended up pressing Esc and Blue Iris crashed. After that it would never start again, it would never get passed the "Good Morning" message, which was frustrating because it was clearly NOT a "Good Morning" However after reading other people having issues with ucrtbase.dll and Flight Simulator crashing and if taken offline it worked, I thought I would try the same with BI. The interesting thing is the camera I had to delete and add back was not the camera I went full screen with. Before deleting the faulty camera I left it disabled and had BI up and running on the 7 other cameras for about 10 mins. I then tried to enable it again and it crashed instantly. After deleting it and adding it back BI has been up now for about 24 hours.

It would be interesting to know the correlation between 1) ucrtbase.dll 2) online/offline mode and 3) a corrupt camera config.
ucrtbase is part of MS Visual C++ so I am guessing BI is written in C++ How all 3 variables are interconnected is a mystery to me.
