Thanks for your response and reassurance. I like Codeproject.AI and dont want to end with it.
The downloads are now available for 2.8 (I was on 2.6.5) so I have just manually installed it and all seems fine in conjunction with Blue iris (I use YOLOv8)
A few observations:
BlueIris does not now report Codeproject version any more
Some of the links with the CodeProject server still go to the 'old' site
There is reference to 2.9 but the latest download seems to be 2.8
Minor issues I know.
