Does anybody know where the Blue Iris plugin stores it’s device configurations?

I’m having an issue with the last camera I added going back to ‘index’ in both streaming and image URL’s in the variables. Tried different browsers but no luck. It seems there’s been an issue with caching of pages for a while now that seems to affect the plugin. I can change the values to the correct camera name and go bak, done and even if I save the camera or not. It stays on the correct name for a few minutes and then reverts back…

I want to try SSH into Vera directly and entering the correct values there to see if that fixes the issue as it’s getting a mite irritating…

I have been using the DVR plug-in to look at individual camera’s. The BI plug-in only streams my 4 cameras in a composite image. I have not had any caching issues, but sometimes when using VeraMate over a cellular connection, the images can take a few minutes to update.

That’s my problem. If you check the advanced configuration and go to the variables tab, you’ll see the URL and streamingURL reference to ‘index’ which is the default image. You can change that to the shortname you gave your camera in BI and it will show only that camera. The problem is that due to the vera’s UI page caching, the values on that variables page keep on reverting back to the original ‘index’ values.

Hence my request for the actual physical folder/file location on Vera so I can SSH in and change the values there in the hopes they will stick.

I have the following settings under Extra Parameters > Variables, I haven’t changed anything in months and they “stick”:

I ended up accessing my Vera from my Raspberry PI web browser and set the values one more time for streaming URL and URL. (and of course camera name) So far the values have been sticking for over 4 days. knock on wood*
