Just upgraded from 2 to 3, I did a server wipe and a clean install of Ubuntu 22.04 than ran the CURL BlueCherry install.
I am running in a Proxmox VM cluster with the VM Specs:
64gig mem
16 cores (Host CPU)
32 gig boot with a 3T video storage disc attached
First I am having the [Could not connect: [111 ] Connection refused] issue every reboot, but it does correct the issue if I restart the service.
Second the Live view will not hold the camera layout every time I either load the page or refresh the page I have to redo the layout and camera selection.
Third the Camera feeds in the live view will just stop at random and I have to reselect the camera as reloading the page will wipe out the layout.
Since it doesnât seem possible to use the web view I tried to use the Client, and it does work, but the Video quality is so low that its not really suitable for monitoring on a large format monitor, not sure if I am just missing something in the client setup to control quality but I am running 4k Cameraâs and I can barely make out items moving around the view point area.
Thanks!

Regarding the live view in the client, by default the client uses the sub stream of the camera to reduce bandwidth and cpu usage. You can go into each camera and change the resolution of the secondary / sub stream to a higher resolution.
can the client be changed to you the main stream? the sub stream on these cameraâs are just really low and I donât have an option to match the quality of the main stream
You can disable the âuse substream for live viewâ in the Bluecherry admin / devices page:
Yea that check box is already unchecked, could I replace the substream path with the main stream?
You can, however if the box is unchecked we should only use the main stream. Can you try switching to the main stream in the sub stream and see if that resolves the issue?
doesnât make any change, just noticed I donât think the Client is even using the Sub view when I look at the Cameraâs sub view I can make out the time stamp and other labels and the sub view is visibly squished as its lower bits.

The next time this happen can you attach the output of these:
The next time this happens can you run:
âcat /proc/meminfo
free
vmstat
and a screenshot or output of âhtopâ (preferred method below):
sudo apt install htop aha html2text
echo q | htop -C | aha --line-fix | html2text -width 999 | grep -v âF1Helpâ | grep -v âxml version=â > file.txt
Ok, can you try the latest (beta) of the Version 3 client to see if the resolution issue is better, the same, or worse?
