    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    @iwanttosee that’s a good find. Thanks for sharing. If you add a known plate from your detections first, you should then see the button to add one without having seen it before. This is the original empty state from before it was possible to add them manually. I have time to work on it this week.

    Didn’t work on it this past weekend. Can be finished with one more solid focused day.

    Not sure what’s going on with this stuff. I don’t think it’s caused by anything here.

    Making good progress so far. Lot of stuff hardened, completely fresh new DB with query builder, new auth with multiple users and roles, tons of data fetching stuff fixed, and many other improvements. Agents requiring more supervision than I initially expected and I have a bunch of other tasks I...

    Once the foundational updates are complete, I can try to give some different AI models a spec and see if any of them come back with something workable. I'll send the spec when I get there so you can see how it goes about doing it.

    @VideoDad RE: complex automations/notification rules - to do this well and have it really be good is actually pretty complicated. Home Assistant has a pretty advanced rules engine from what I see. If you could have every recognition sent to an MQTT topic with all of the metadata that comes from...

    Would be greatly helpful if anyone is willing to send me a dump of their database (ideally a more than one person) so I can ensure this will migrate smoothy. I am going to upgrade the postgres to version 16. With this, there will be no more migrations.sql bullcrap and a proper ORM will be used...

    My plan is to more or less start completely from scratch and use Claude code to remake the whole app in parallel in a more principled way, while integrating all of the requested features. I’m pretty excited and hoping this can be done this weekend. I might also make a publicly accessible...

    What I mean by this is the http request that BI sends. You could see this by creating an alert notification in BI with the same content that we use for the ALPR database, but selecting email or something else instead of http request. Emailing it to yourself will show you what BI actually sends...

    I don’t even need the dat files. Just the images. A sample from BI would be great too. Could get this either by sending the same payload that is sent to this app in an email from BI or using the write to file option.

    The computer I use to host this has had some catastrophic failures. Is anyone able to send like 20-50 images that I can use for testing? It would also be helpful to have the request sent by BI in whatever new format in BI6 that has caused problems.

    I have indeed had a lot going on for the past few months. Checking on the thread, it seems like there’s been a lot of blue iris config related discussion and troubleshooting. Anything else that I’ve missed? Any specific items ^ that you’re thinking of @VideoDad ? I did also see the mention...

    @wpiman I will check the permissions. Can you please edit the crazy long post to put the paste in a codeblock? I still have a bunch of stuff I don't really want to deal with saving and closing on my desktop. I'll update my laptop and send the code over and see if I can submit the TvOS app now...

    If this is useful to u I can do it. I honestly bet I can just ask cursor to wrap a list of existing functions with API handlers and get it to write detailed documentation for them too. If u can tell me which operations you want, I think that could be done in like 15 minutes. I’ll make sure...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    To add speed, yes. Very minor though. Just adding a column. The app is made with Nextjs "server actions", which are sort of like a remote procedure call. Basically a way to directly call functions on the backend from the frontend without having REST endpoints for everything. I can still create...

    I still have this agent branch that I have kept separate. I think adding proper semantic search with vectors of each altert image would be huge, but we need a model to do that, and depending on large paid models seems kind of conterintuitive to the whole goal of having self hosted surveilance...

    Forgot to post video of this. Here's the apple TV app I was talking about. Works really well in test mode on my TV, but again, I have to update my MacOS to make it public. Really really fast streams, even after coming through BI. Working great. m

    I'll have to look into this further. That seemed to resolve things testing with the sample input on my end. Please share anything else you see in the logs. The plate_number option especially has been pretty much free of issue since the original release, so I'm a bit stumped. When I have more...

    Alright, apologies for the delay. I thought I was going to have time to deal with that, but I was heading out to a wedding yesterday. I just pushed a docker build with the :nightly tag that should fix this. @avro201 can you please test this and see if it fixes your issue? In the Docker...

    “In no means proficient at this” - well your reports are very helpful and this is the first time I’ve seen anyone post the error with the specific columnar format, so you seem pretty savvy to me. It seems like this is actually a much more simple issue than I thought. Some people had reported...

    I didn't notice this part before: "Unfortunately, I get the same "Not Null Constraint" error." I don't really understand why this is happening and will have to investigate more. The violation of the constraint means that the app is decoding the api request and not getting a plate number out of...

    @avro201 no need to apologize at all. This is part of what the thread is for, and it helps me understand what needs to improve. Yes, that is what I mean. That looks correct to me. Additional reference available on the docs site and in the GitHub readme. Please try that and report back if it...

    Try using the plate macro instead of &JSON for now. Seems like something changed in CPAI or BI that’s causing issues parsing the AI response. I think this is related to Pete’s issue. Nothing is wrong with your BI. The output from CPAI is just kind of dense and alpr db needs to be able to handle...

    Thank you @PeteJ - will check with that. I built the AI secondary verification feature yesterday and it works right now, but not if there are multiple plates in the same image. I have an idea of how to get that worked out. The way it works right now: Enable secondary verification and add your...

    It's because the macro is called &JSON in Blue Iris. AI_dump was just my random name for it within the app.

    Maybe try adding an email alert with &JSON and see if you can email it to yourself. I think that should work.

    Yes, I did see. The AI agent branch I was working and actually has this full functionality with the ability to backfill all past recognitions. Seems like Mike has something in the works. Like I’ve said, we should aim to address the functionality at its roots. As a fallback solution If we can’t...
