#blueiris — Public Fediverse posts

fun little #Mastodon network nerd dork special talk time about a #Steamdeck and 4 seconds of jitter that drove me absolutely insane:

for more than fucking year i've stopped doing Moonlight/Sunshine to my #Steamdeck from my gaming rig cuz it started doing these microstutters every 30 seconds and i could not figure out what it was.
I went insane installing Apollo vs Sunshine, virtual device drivers, switching to a hdmi virtual display dongle, tweaking Steam network settings, etc.

Eventually I gave up because I started playing some non-AAA games natively on the deck so the need stopped arising for Moonlight.

But now since Death Stranding 2 is out I decided to try again.... and it was still doing it

I kept thinking it was the Deck wifi or something scanning every 30 seconds so just was doing all this crap.

then I finally wondered if it wasn't just the deck but everything in the house.
So I watched my whole house traffic and noticed a similar tiny bit of network activity happening every 30 seconds to a few devices.
I thought maybe home assistant, etc. but nothing i powered down was changing anything.

so i put the full wireshark client on my deck and did a 90 second long capture to get 3 events and finally fucking got i and it was not remotely anything i would have expected

*every 30 seconds there was an ARP flood across two entire fucking subnets from my Blue Iris NVR server*

it was just hitting every fucking IP in the range, so like 500+ going "HELLO????????"

why?

over a year ago i swapped a camera for another one and never disabled the old camera in Blue Iris; i just hid it. i think maybe i thought i would swap the cameras back or something.

so for over a year, every 30 seconds Blue Iris was going "WHERE IS THIS CAMERA? HELLO????" and fucking flooding the network with these tiny requests that were unnoticeable unless you were trying to stream a game since that required a constant 0 interruption network connection because of frame rate and refresh rate matching shit.

I disabled the camera properly and now everything is back to full smooth glory. So time to fight death with my baby.

so TMYK: Disable your cameras properly in BlueIris or it will become a little scanning bitch

The HomeKit integration and mobile app are really nice.

Finally installed the #Unifi Protect app on the wife’s phone and deleted #BlueIris. She used it for a day and then sent me this. It’s honest feedback.

Looks like #BlueIris 6.0 is around the corner. I'm excited to see what they do. The UI updates would be a welcome change. I wish I could run it in a docker too.

"Blue Iris has never held back on new functionality over the years and has offered frequent updates. A transition to "6.0" however offers us an opportunity to freshen the UI, update core code libraries, and offer expanding functionality into both AI and home automation. "

Bit of a flash back post, but for any #BlueIris users here, I have a blog post on using a spare computer monitor and Chromecast to run your camera display, for example on a bookshelf 🤩

2/🧵I would just switch it to Linux if it was not for #BlueIris. I think I might need to try out some of the registry edits report online to bypass the system compatibility checks to allow the upgrade to #Windows11. Has anyone else successfully done this?

1/🧵I’ve been looking forward to the time when I needed to upgrade and rebuild the home windows machine that’s hosts #BlueIris and a #HASS VM, amongst other things. The smell of new electronics and building a PC from scratch is somewhat therapeutic.
The upcoming end of life for Windows 10 was going to be that forcing moment I was waiting for. However, with interest rates, cost of living and a young family, that aspiration isn’t feasible at the moment.

The local prankster had his little enjoyment for the night pressing our doorbell at midnight - unaware that I was unfazed as I was awake and will still be up for another 3hrs. It also helped that #blueiris and the house's cameras picked up on it straight away with a “human” alert - so I knew exactly what was happening.

I can't believe I waited so long to try #blueiris. So worth the $. AI Person detection is rock solid. ❣️
