Live Stream from Blue Iris to YouTube!

[@quaternion-pi]

I've been using BI for years, but you teach me something useful with each video. Thanks!

[@learnblueiris]

Great to hear! Thanks for watching.

[@rwinfield770]

I followed the original method in the video and failed. I went to the camera settings, Audio tab. ticked 'enable audio channel'. Then went to Webcast tab. under 'Flash media Live encoding' tick box there is a drop down menu, make sure 'audio and video' option is selected. It's now up and running.

Great video Joe! I’m really loving the BI content. Keep it coming!

[@MiamiWebDesign]

Do we have to port forward or anything at all at the router level. I cannot get any data to appear in youtube. thanks

[@nrnoble]

Thanks for all the BI videos.👍 Will YT allow endless 24x7 streaming or does YT stop the steam after X hours? Example, I set up the stream, view it for a few minutes, then come back in two days and watch it again, then come back a few days later and watch for a few minutes. This would be for a HOA where various residents want to watch the stream to check the parking lot activity.

Great video! Thank you. Like others, I was unable to get it to stream on KZbin - just says No Data. Tried different cameras and different resolutions, but no luck. I'm sure it something simple with BI settings. Reading elsewhere, there was an older web post that mentioned having to enable audio in the main settings. Didn't seem to help me.

i also didn’t get the data. did you get it ? ehat did you do?

@@rwinfield770 Wow, you're right! Thanks. Now I just have to figure out a way to mute it.

[@kristiekatinaz]

@@shawnhaywood4199 you do that in the camera's settings, not blue iris. Find the audio settings and deselect the enable audio or make sure the checkbox is not checked.

Great content! Keep it coming. BI is such a versatile VMS.

[@learnblueiris]

Thanks! Will do! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@grocerylist]

Thanks for the video. Is there some setting to force 1080p or higher resolutions? I'm only able to select 480p.

good content!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

This worked the first time I tried it, but the next day, I tried again, and... no good. I think it has something to do with the Stream Key. There are two "stream keys" - one is made up of words; and one is a random sequence of letters with dashes. I googled a bit, and found other people maybe having this problem. It's all pretty confusing.

[@glasshalfempty1984]

0:34 that can't be true. KZbin should work with many different resolutions and a few different aspects ratios. Maybe nothing weird but certainly your traditional 4:3 should work. I just don't believe that that would be completely insane.

[@yossishi221]

hi i did same what you did. but i cant get any data video on the you tube what can go wrong ? do need to open port on router? something else ? thanks yossi

[@gregspivey1355]

I have a nginx server running and Point a camera that has direct rtmp into it and a blue iris feed from a camera using this setup you show. nginx is using a hls streamin format to serve the video to web pages. The camera feed works flawless, The blue iris stream only works for a bit for some reason,,, I switched the blue iris camera from h.265 to h.264 to see if that helped but no luck,,,, any ideas?

[@funkyphil1974]

Thank you so much this is a great start for what I am trying to do, however maybe you can answer one more on going question for me. I do 3D printing and sales and a lot of the time my clients ask how does this work do you have video? So I have created two cameras dedicated to my two 3D printers. I want to do just this and create a link that I can put on my web site so folks can click it and watch it live. You have made this super easy for me to do now so thank you so much however my two cameras are within a group that i want to create a link for this group and share it out so when they click on it, they will see both cameras at the same time within two windows. So basically how i have it now, if someone ask to view them, i send them the web login details for this group only and they can then log in with username and password then it opens up with both printers running in. is this at all possible? Thank you so much again.

[@user-zr7kz4vs7c]

i want my bluelris to have free cloud backup, can I stream my cameras to 7x24 to youtube ? Or do you have other recommendations? thanks a lot

[@kriseneva4750]

did not work for me. Maybe because i use the evaluation version?

[@JasonsLabVideos]

Interesting, i want to put up a Pecker camera for the Woodpeckers in the back yard ! would be a 24/7 live stream LOL

[@learnblueiris]

Lol! I'd watch

[@CH-fy7xe]

Good luck. I've been trying to run a nature livestream from one of my BI cameras and the stream only runs 12hrs. I believe the problem (restriction?) may be on the KZbin side instead of BI. If you get it to work longer than only 12hrs, pls let me know!

[@JasonsLabVideos]

@@CH-fy7xe Possible,

[@learnblueiris]

@@CH-fy7xe KZbin does limit I believe

[@CH-fy7xe]

@@learnblueiris so how do all the wildlife streams on KZbin function? Does KZbin allow 24/7 but for a fee?

[@robs6711]

This didn't work for me but I'm assuming it's because I use ZeroTier. Just wanted to fiddle so no biggie.

[@learnblueiris]

ZeroTier shouldn't affect it... Hmm. Is the camera a square box? If yes that might be the cause.

[@robs6711]

@@learnblueiris I made sure to chose a camera with the correct aspect ratio. No error is given, the stream just doesn't start, saying No Data (can't remember exactly).

[@CH-fy7xe]

This works but how do you run a 24/7 livestream? I've been trying to run a nature livestream from one of my BI cameras and the stream only runs 12hrs. I believe the problem (restriction?) may be on the KZbin side instead of BI. (just to mention, I've tried turning DVR off as well because I dont need it saved from youtube)

[@learnblueiris]

I think it is KZbin - I ran into a similar issue once when live streaming past 12 hours. Maybe try another platform? Not sure what Vimeo allows. There are ways you could do it with Amazon Web Services (IVS or Elemental Medialive) but that would cost a bit of money so unless it is for a Zoo or something and not hobby it might be cost prohibitive.

[@birdcam2024]

Hi, I am also running a nature live stream and that was happening to me, First turn off windows updates completely (google how to) second make sure the Hard drive isn't going to sleep or the PC for that matter (Check in Power Management) then turn off ALL updates within BI as that restarted the program and I lost my stream. Good Luck, There's no time limit on a KZbin live stream. That means you can live stream as long as you want on KZbin. However, since KZbin can only archive live streams for up to 12 hours, you are suggested to live stream for no more than 12 hours. So users can view your stream at a later time. Mine is 24/7.

[@macster1457]

There is a section in Blue Iris under the tab "Other" named, Scaling. The default is set to Fast, but this setting makes all my cameras look like crap and very pixelated unless I make it full screen. If I change the setting to Bilinear, then the cameras look much better, but makes the cpu higher :(. Anything I can do to make the cameras look normal while using the Fast setting?

[@learnblueiris]

Is this when you are sending to KZbin or just on the preview window? If you are using substreams, the preview window will show the lesser quality substream. Or are you talking about something else?

[@macster1457]

@@learnblueiris I am referring to.. When you are looking at the main screen of BL, were all the camaras are. Top left, there's a gear for the settings.. in there you'll see a tab called Other.
