CodeProject.AI Version 2.0
@Lta, I would try the following: uninstall cpai, delet the codeproject install directory, shutdown BI service, reboot, reinstall CPAI, set BI service to "delayed start", then restart BI service. @MikeR33, do you have windows services configured so the BI service has a "delayed startup"? I... -

Mine has a P400, but close enough... Also, are you using the recommended driver and cuda compute versions found here? https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5322557/CodeProject-AI-Server-AI-the-easy-way An important quote from that page... If you have a CUDA enabled Nvidia card please then... -

Quick update for dev types regarding the latest BI and cpai versions... I just updated to the latest, and let the cpai and bi installers do their thing. After rebooting and starting BI the first time with cpai 2.0.8, the splashscreen did show a new message "configuring AI...", which gave me... -

FWIW, the world of programming is very unforgiving of such mistakes. There are many languages that don't care much about "white space", but generally when copy/pasting modern code/settings from online, white space is very important! -

Immediate actions, and alerts with mqtt are kinda 2 different subjects, with some overlap. You don't have to add any plate numbers to BI. BI will "trigger for every plate found" when configured properly, and you can get alerts or send mqtt messages with those plates if you desire (with minimal... -

Review-Dahua/EmpireTech new doorbell cam Db6l 5mp
Sorry, but getting the defaults from my db6i would mean a lot more work on my end, including the stupid DMSS install/config/uninstall dance that I swore I'd only do once to get this doorbell configured for my system. I'll take your word for it that the defaults are garbage... my experience was... -

I mean... kinda does look like a plate I guess? It would be even better if it read LOLOLOL though. Check this one out from today... This was from a clone of my LPR running ipcam-combined. The master camera did get the plate as well, but had an L instead of a 4 (which is very common BTW)... -

CodeProject.AI Version 2.0
Same here, but I'm using custom models and not default object detection. Not sure why the dropdown doesn't work when using default object detection though, because it should. Then again, I can see how BI might get confused with ALPR for plates enabled and custom models disabled. I believe ALPR... -

Out of curiosity (and lack of creativity), I have to ask you guys... what are you doing with plates in HA? Only thing I conjured up in a few minutes of thought is maybe a voice alert when an expected visitor arrives... but I suspect you all have much cooler applications. -

FWIW, I removed ,* and it's all been working very well for a few days straight. It deals with parked cars as expected etc. One suggestion for folks wanting their LPR cam to perform multi-role, use a clone for that. I previously had a similar setup, using combined and alpr on one camera, with... -

CodeProject.AI Version 2.0
It sounds like your system is behaving similar to how mine does. You will likely have continued issues after rebooting unless you make a change to the window services startup for BI. Be default, both BI and CPAI services are set to start automatically. BI has to be changed to "Delayed startup"... -

Thanks for the interesting additional info. Fortunately 120sec is fine for my use case. I suppose since I'm only delaying BI service startup (AFAIK anyways, lol), maybe there is room to determine how long it has to wait... and maybe tune that 120 down a bit. -

On my street, I have one cloned camera looking for delivery vehicles driving by (3+ w/ 100msec interval). About 25' down the same street, I have an lpr cam making plates (5+ w/ 100msec interval). That same lpr cam is cloned and using combined to make people (3+ w/ 250msec interval). When a car... -

Thanks for that! Man, I tried all kinds of settings on the CPAI server startup, but setting BI service to startup delayed does seem to be working reliably. -

I too updated this morning. I still have to start/stop AI using BI settings to get AI working after a reboot, and alpr, combined, packages, and delivery work fine after that. The changes Ken just released as far as AI results selection are working much better for me. It is approaching the... -

@lukecwik & @nibblerrick, I'm using cuda 11.7 with compute 6.1 and it has been working. I am new to all this AI/cuda/compute stuff so have no clue how it works or why some versions may/may not work. -

@MikeLud1 , I just observed some alerts that should have been cancelled but went through: I'm not sure if this is a side-effect of using ,** in to confirm. It's working well for ignoring static plates though. -

Not 100% sure if it's the cause of your problem, but it appears you are running a newer nvidia driver than recommended. Refer to this post: -

Thanks for the tip... done. To follow up, shortly after my post my BI pc crashed. After reboot, I had a recurrence of an earlier problem, where AI started but BI was not properly communicating with CPAI. I went through and did what I did to fix this before: ...but this time it didn't work... -

Thanks again Mike, that seems to have done the trick now it's ignoring static plates as expected. For whatever reason lately my plate make times seem to be a lot longer than before. Like ~800msec avg, up to 1500 when it is reading a second static plate. When I test images in the cpai explorer... -

Do you recall ever installing a dell driver on it? If it still has windows that came from Dell, then it definitely could have dell drivers on it. Not that Dell doesn't make good drivers, but usually WHQL drivers are more stable and appropriate for a BI system. I personally have never setup a BI... -

I'm not one to critique how people manage their PC's, but I happened to notice the Dell directory in Program Files. That reminded me of some experiences I've had running dell auto driver updates and support tools. I wonder if there's something else lurking under the hood outside of BI/cpai that... -

@MikeLud1, I changed to those exact settings, and it appears to work, although I still have a problem with that static plate. So I'm not even sure it'll work until that parked car moves. Here is an example where BI cancels based on that same static plate at 91% (and no ocr data returned), and... -

I just tested a manual trigger with ,** added to confirm, and got no models, all red X's. I triggered it twice just to be sure. -

@MikeLud1, not sure if you caught my second post just before yours. That's unfortunate to hear it may require big changes, but you won't be pressured to hurry them along by me. I already appreciate you and the other devs going over the top to make this even work the way it does now. I have faith... -

Oh boy... guess we are lucky that parked car didn't drive off just yet. Check this one out... looks like BI didn't mark the moving plate because the static car was higher percent. This behavior makes parked cars a much bigger problem. BI definitely needs to be filtering out static vehicles here. -

Blue Iris and CodeProject.AI ALPR
I'll do that, but TBH the red X in analysis doesn't bother me much. I was just worried about plate make times going from 250 to 500msec because OCR is reading the static plates... and about sending BI the motion leading image when I told it not to. I'm thinking since static vehicles are marked... -

I just noticed a minor bug in BI lpr when using "Detect/ignore static objects". BI processes every plate in the frame, including plates on vehicles that are marked as static. This is probably a minor waste of processing power for most use cases, but I figure it's worth mentioning in hopes it...
