Blue Iris

I bought Blue Iris and finally got my Raspberry Pi 4 with a RPI GS Camera working, and I can see it fine on a remote web browser. But I cannot for the life of me get it working with Blue Iris. Everything is set the way it is suppose to as far as I can tell, but I consistently get cannot connect to camera. PLEASE HELP! I really wanted to use this to record NVR in the car on our long trip across half of the USA, starting this Friday!!

Thanks

So do you have an rtsp feed that can be viewed in VLC ? Or something similar ?

I apologize for allowing myself to hijack this thread, but it's a very similar problem.

Using mediamtx on Raspberry Pi and trying to use two different cameras in BI.
One camera is a RPi camera, the other is a Logitech C920 USB camera.

mediamtx is configured and starts up fine. From the BI machine I run VLC and can open the RTSP stream (rtsp://192.168.2.12:8554/cam). I can see the image, everything works fine.
Now, the weird stuff. I can add the camera to BI. I can see on the RPi the output from mediamtx showing BI client as connected: BI, though, shows "No Signal" despite being correctly configured.

I have run out of options. No idea what else to do. I would like to add I have already configured 4x other cameras, using ONVIF and MJPEG, and they all work fine.

Can you show us the settings pages in BI5 ?

Sure can.

1. VLC stream working, with codec info:


2. BI Camera - General Tab:


3. BI Camera - Video tab:


4. BI Camera - Camera Configuration tab:

(Note: changing settings to "Send RTSP Keep-Alives", "Use RTSP/stream timecode", "Skip Initial MAC, HTTP, DNS Reachability tests" has no effect, I tried with/without them, etc. Also, I tried changing "Receive buffer" values from 0 all the way to 10, no effect)

5. BI Camera - Find/Inspect window results:

(Note: It detects the RTSP port, but after clicking "Close", the Camera Configuration window shows unusable values, see below)

6. Camera Configuration window after Find/Inspect:


If I leave the BI camera there, despite showing "No Signal", mediamtx on the RPi shows this output (repeats every 30 seconds):
It looks like BI opens the connection but can't read from it, for some reason, and mediamtx resets the connection after 30 seconds of inactivity. Immediately afterwards (after 1 second), BI opens the connection again and the cycle repeats. Meanwhile, the VLC connection from the same remote machine is rock solid.
I have tried changing resolutions (from 640x480 all the way to 1920x1080) and framerates (between 2 and 30) in mediamtx, each of them opened fine in VLC, none of them opened in BI.
If you need more information, please let me know, I'd be happy to provide it.
