UI3-283

Version 283

• Improved the global error handler to capture a little more data, particularly useful when an error occurs in Firefox.
• Suppressed notification for errors when the error handler receives a URL whose path is just a long (>20 chars) base64url encoded string.

UI3-282

Version 282

• Fixed bug in camera coordinate processing when streaming camera groups in JPEG mode with dynamic layout disabled clientside but enabled serverside.

UI3-281

Version 281

• License plate numbers are now overlaid on the alert thumbnail along with the memo string.
• The Alert Properties dialog now shows the Memo and License Plate text.

UI3-280

Version 280

• Dynamic Group Max Resolution is now implemented as a megapixel limit instead of an image dimension limit, making it behave more intuitively and with more consistent server CPU load regardless of aspect ratio.
• The "stats for nerds" dialog now shows an "[edit]" link next to dynamic group resolutions, providing another path to discovering the Group Settings dialog.
• Suppressed an error dialog when the browser extension called "AutoplayStopper" causes a specific harmless error.

UI3-279

Version 279

• Bugfix for "NumberHasFlags failed" occurring if any event-triggered icons were enabled.

UI3-278

Version 278

• The Clips tab can now be filtered by "Wildlife" AI detections and show the wildlife icon in the alert list and timeline.
• Unexpected errors should now include a full stack trace in modern browsers and make it easy to copy the text to paste for support.

UI3-277

Version 277

• Ceased using ?? JavaScript operator which was causing a script error in some very outdated web browsers.

UI3-276

Version 276

• Moved PTZ-related settings to a new PTZ section in UI Settings.
• Gamepad PTZ support is out of the "experimental" phase is is now enabled by default.
  • Added a visual "Gamepad Test" area to the PTZ settings.
  • Added "Analog Input Deadzone" setting.
  • Added "Gamepad Bindings" subsection to the PTZ settings where gamepad bindings can be changed.
  • Added setting to make UI3 use the "Experimental Joystick API" which is a recent addition to Blue Iris. Results may vary. Feedback is welcome.
• In the graphical PTZ control pad, the "Focus Near" button is now on the left, and "Focus Far" is on the right, because this makes more intuitive sense to me.
  • The UI Setting "Swap PTZ Focus Near/Far" can be enabled by any user who strongly cares about having it the old way.
• Added new internal custom events: "UI_Settings_Opening", "UI_Settings_Refreshing", "UI_Settings_Refreshed", "GamepadAction" for use internally or by local overrides scripts.

UI3-275

Version 275

• Rewrote PTZ control code to improve usability and resolve edge-case bugs. Some of the benefits:
  • The graphical PTZ control pad buttons now light up when the associated actions are activated by keyboard keys or a gamepad (gamepad support is still experimental and is disabled by default in UI Settings).
  • PTZ hotkeys (keyboard controls) now support pressing multiple keys simultaneously, meaning:
    • It is no longer necessary to release a PTZ hotkey before pressing another (depending on your keyboard's anti-ghosting support).
    • Diagonal movement is now performed when two compatible directional arrows are held.
  • Renewed efforts were taken to prevent PTZ motors from getting stuck in a running state:
    • Actions such as gracefully closing the browser, minimizing the browser, changing browser tabs, unfocusing the browser, or changing to a different camera view, now cause any active PTZ motors to stop.
    • Stateless PTZ actions such as activating PTZ presets, toggling "Hold" mode, or changing IR/brightness/contrast, now temporarily stop any ongoing PTZ motor action to help prevent Blue Iris's camera instance from getting stuck in a bad input state.
• Fixed a bug where UI3 stopped periodically refreshing the camera list if Blue Iris returned a camlist response with a missing or empty camera list.

UI3-274

Version 274

• Modified a few usages of newer JavaScript syntax recently added that caused syntax errors in old browsers like IE and those on Smart TVs that haven't updated their browser in a very long time.
