Blue Iris Camera Streams No Longer Working

Configuration
1

Not sure when this started, but I think in the past couple of weeks. My local IP camera live streams using picture-entity stopped working. They are integrated through the Blue Iris HACS. Anyone else?

HA 2025.7.4
OS 16.0

Are you getting anything in Settings / System / Logs?

Man, what a newb I am. Following log error. I suppose I should post this to the HACS github? Thanks.

Well, first make sure you can log in at 192.168.0.100:81

401 means unauthorized, and 503 means there’s a problem with the service.

Is that the correct IP:port? Can you reach Blue Iris’s UI3 in a browser?

Yes, http://192.168.0.100:81/ through Chrome works properly so I was going to delete the integration and re-add, but decided to just try reloading (even though there was no error on the Integration GUI), and that fixed it!

I feel like an idiot, that a simple reload fixed my problem, but you were a huge help. Thanks.

What did you reload? Blue Iris or app from HACS? I am brand new with HA so if I’m using the wrong words, excuse my lack of understanding.

Restarting HA should reload all integrations, but I think all I did was go to Settings/Integrations. Click the “>” to the right of Blue Iris NVR, then the 3 vertical dots to the far right of the name of your location, “reload”.
