Full screen view won't switch to main stream

[awitty987]

Hi

I have this odd problem where when i view a certain camera in full screen it won't switch to the main stream. Normally most camera switch from the sub to main after a couple of seconds.
The camera alerts use the main stream, and UI3 goes into the main stream but it won't do it from the Windows app !

I've had it happen on another camera and I had to delete the camera and re-add it, but I'd rather not do this if there is another solution.

Any ideas

How about cloning the camera and see if it works with that. If it does, delete the old one.

Cloned camera, it worked perfectly
Deleted original camera
Renamed clone to original name - stopped working
Renamed clone to something else - working.

How odd.

Well let's still call it a win as it's nearly Christmas

I guess there is some corruption in the registry settings for that camera name. That could lead to trouble if you pursue it Up to you. Back it all up and look at the registry ? Or just give it a similar name

Delete both the main and the clone. Stop and restart the Blue Iris service. Repair/Regenerate Database. This should douche the registry entries without breaking anything else.

Re-add the original camera and see if the entry works as it should. If it doesn't, make certain the Main Stream link entry doesn't contain an error.

Good luck with it.

Thanks for the responses.

I know i can fix it by deleting the camera and starting again, but given it's not the first time it's happend I thought i'd experiment a little so I can give the support team a little extra to go out.

I'm sticking with the renamed camera for now.
