First time trying to use the update script. Script terminates before I can input any options:
paul@paul-linux-mint:~$ cd Docker/ALPR
paul@paul-linux-mint:~/Docker/ALPR$ curl -sSL | sudo bash

Working open in blue iris button that takes you straight to the associated alert:
Download and chmod +x then ./update.sh. The error you're getting is caused by the combined curl and bash command. I fixed that issue on the install script but not yet on the update script.
I was able to update by following the directions on the notification screen and it went without issues on Ubuntu.
The changelog screen is blank, however.

I just fixed the blank changelog this morning. Will only start working after updating though. So hopefully it should be visible whenever 0.1.8 becomes available.
Tried but got permission errors on my auth and config and storage folders. Ill wait until its fixed on your end
Did you try with sudo? It worked for me so if there’s some other issue, I need to understand what it is in order to fix
I forgot to import that and somehow the code didn't give an error. Theres a page called /backfill that you can use to do the same thing and will work. A fixed image is building right now. Thanks for finding.
This is really cool.... but I don't seem to have that Blue Iris button on my page.
You will need to add "ALERT_PATH": "&ALERT_PATH", "ALERT_CLIP": "&ALERT_CLIP" to your blue iris action. The button only shows up if the data is available.
Edit: You also need to enter your blue Iris server address in the settings tab.

I've just added, but the button is not showing up.
{ "plate_number":"&PLATE", "Image":"&ALERT_JPEG", "camera":"&CAM", "timestamp":"&ALERT_TIME", "ALERT_PATH": "&ALERT_PATH", "ALERT_CLIP": "&ALERT_CLIP" }
Have you had a new plate read since updating BI? I think this will only enable it for plates that are read going forward.
Same as before. I installed windows on an old PC, so hopefully powershell soon. Latest and nightly are the same right now. In fact, I think nightly is actually behind. So just use latest.
@PeteJ Yeah this is why. The old plates don’t have that data because it wasn’t sent with them.
I’ll change it to always show up and spawn a dialog explaining that it need to be added. That will be more clear.
