    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    Well, maybe? I copied the string from the github each time, no idea how that happened. I did it again making sure its not converting the ampersand, but it is still the same error unfortunately (except in BI where the error shows as a 500). If I'm not mistaken the memo one works with multiple...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!

    I just got started with this and can't wrap my head around this... If I use { "ai_dump":&JSON, "Image":"&ALERT_JPEG", "camera":"&CAM", "ALERT_PATH": "&ALERT_PATH", "ALERT_CLIP": "&ALERT_CLIP", "timestamp":"&ALERT_TIME" } it has no issues and posts to the database. If I use { "memo":"&MEMO"...

    Full ALPR Database System for Blue Iris!
