Tiles for TinyPro (Hikvision IP Camera) feeds?

I have tried it on a raspberry Pi and an android box, and in both cases it’s hit and miss for no reason.

What type of Android TV box? The NVIDIA Shield TV is recommended by the TinyCam developer. I’ve seen at least a few cases of people who were having difficulty with TinyCam running on Fire tablets or other low powered devices switch to the NVIDIA Shield and have much better experiences.

Moving to Blue Iris shortly, do I need to set up a webserver with that for Sharptools as I don’t want to forward any ports for security reasons.

As James mentioned, Blue Iris has a built-in webserver that can be enabled. If you’re just using Blue Iris on your network, you won’t need to do any port forwarding and may want to change the Authentication option to ‘Non-LAN Only’:

I normally just use the format:

http://{blue.iris.ip}:{port}/mjpg/{short_name}

Do you have authentication required on your Blue Iris server? If I remember correctly, it’s in Blue Iris settings under Web Server → Advanced section → Authentication. I have mine set to something like "Non-LAN only" which means that I can hit the streams locally without providing any username/password, but if I try to hit it from outside my network, I have to provide the password.
