It is something I need to do and it will cause issues with others.
Blue Iris and DeepStack ALPR

I am getting the alert in Blue Iris
But, I am not getting a cropped image in www/alerts/ALPR. This doesn‘t change.
I realize that the plate is too small to read, but shouldn’t ALPR.jpg change to the cropped plate?

The issue is because the car.jpg is not being read to create the cropped image. I am going see if I can fix the issue this weekend.
I scanned my folders and do not have a car.jpg - even after I re-ran the install package. Just an FYI. Thanks

If it exists it should be in your C:\Program Files (x86)\DeepStackALPR\ directory.
I reinstalled and checked everything, but something is still wrong.
I am getting car.jpg updated and am also getting the cropped ALPR.jpg. This was a permissions problem.
What is not happening is the log or JSON files being written to D:\BlueIris\Alerts\LPRCam\*
I am getting the .jpg and .dat files in D:\BlueIris\Alerts\LPRCam\*
Also, the alerts in BI are not being updated with the cropped plate or the OCR results.
I would really appreciate any help offered. Thanks.

@MikeLud1 - Please see below and let me know if I can make changes so that the unauthorized and other errors can be eliminated. Thanks.

Post a screenshot of the AI settings and your DS_ALPR_config.ini file. I think you have something not set right.
I have been tied up with work and have not had time to release a new version. Hopefully work slows down and I have more time to work on DeepStackALPR and the Custom Modes
Here is the ini. Which AI settings are you looking for?

Everything looks set right, let me sleep on it and try to figure out what the issues is
@MikeLud1 - Ok, still trying to get this working. Here is where I’m at.
The plate on a vehicle is recognized. The cropped plate is being saved and car.jpg is updating.
What is not working is that file path.txt is not updating.

Try deleting the file, Blue Iris will recreate the file if you have the below setting in the cropped plate camera
Try rebooting the server, deleted file path.txt should not impact the image for the ALPR camera.
