Enable Blue Iris camera's under home assistant

Configuration
1

Hello,

I cannot seem to figure out how to connect my camera stream from blue iris to Hassio. Connecting the camere stream separate is not a problem but connecting it via BI does not seem to work with Mjpeg and still image!

My configuration:

  - platform: mjpeg
    mjpeg_url: http://192.168.25.50:81/mjpg/vd01/video.mjpg
    name: Voordeur
    username: !secret camera_username
    password: !secret camera_password 
    authentication: basic

  - platform: generic
    name: Voordeur_jpg
    username: !secret camera_username
    password: !secret camera_password
    still_image_url: http://192.168.25.50:81/image/vd01/image.jpg

The streams from the URL work just fine in the browser!

Tried nearly all kinds of URL but still no luck. Hope someone can help solving this problem?

What version of blue Iris are you running? If you are using ui3 vs ui2 the auth changed so the easiest way to enable it in ha is to disable authentication for local network in blue Iris.

I am running latest version UI4.

you can stream directly from blue iris just adjust this for your cameras https://github.com/Vasiley/Home-Assistant-Main/blob/master/packages/my_cameras.yaml#L63 …ip is blue iris server/port …camera number or shortname from bi gui …

I am using the exact same URL but it still won’t work, when I open the URL directly within my browser I am getting a constant stream after login on BI.

Hope someone can help solve this problem.

I am running not UI4 but the one beneath!

UI3 version 61, Blue Iris version: 4.8.3.0

This version no longer uses simple http auth, so you need to enable simple auth or no auth for local network in the blue Iris web servers options.

Thanks for the reply and I am searching for that option but doesn’t seem to find it within BI?

Options->web server->advanced. To find out
