[tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

Try this command, change the port and credentials to match and try it with local host and then both up addresses for each NIC card you have installed and configured to see what you get back

Code:
http://localhost:port/admin?user=fred&pw=fred123

Edit: Why the hell is the above changing even when I enclose it with code? & should just be an ampersand.
 
Just another thought, have you tried
Code:
http://user:pass@host:port/admin?trigger&camera=FrontDoor

Code:
http://localhost:port/admin?user=fred&pw=fred123

And use port 911 in each? I get the same popup every time. Whether I use localhost:911, 127.0.0.1:915, or 192.168.1.60:911.

Popup asking for user name and password.
 
Are you getting any log entries in BI when you get the pop up?

I think I’m out of ideas now.

Are you running BI as a service, maybe try giving the BI service a restart if you haven’t already done so.
 
Seeing the popup must mean that you're speaking to BlueIris so the ip/port are fine. It must be something do with the way that chrome is iteracting with the webserver.

yeah I just edited to post to put it in code quotes :)

I've just tried mine using Curl (curl for Windows) from the command line and it works as expected. You could give that a try to remove the browser from the equation.
 
Restarted, tried again, this time I'm not even getting any error log in AITools. Maybe I will delete Deepstack, delete AItools, remove the additional network card, and start over as I'm beyond frustrated (but thanks for all your help guys!). This is mind boggling ...

No clue how to use Curl, tried downloading it but I have no idea what it does or how to use it.
 
Maybe I found something, When using the wizard to set up a webserver in BI, do I enter anything into local/remote port?

As far as I know that shouldn't make a difference as you're connecting internally in the same way as you do if you were to view the webui from your pc. Again, seeing the username/password popup means that everything is communicating properly so it's possibly just a missing checkbox somewhere in the BI webserver or user settings.
 
Okay will try that.. But have 3 user names and PWs and none of them work. Could it be because the password contains a #?

Yes, I've just tried and see the same error. Special characters are a pain in URLs. I'd suggest choosing more simple but longer length and ticking the LAN only box on the user account.

Just tried with test and test as user name and pw, made "test" user an admin, checked LAN...same friggin issue.
 
...and I removed the additional network card.
 
cool, so now try the same details in AITool as it'll be using a similar process to Curl (making a web request rather than navigating to the url via a browser)
 
Okay, so it was the # sign in the password that was throwing things off. In my case "localhost" also did not work, I had to specify the IP Address of the server that BI was running on and port, not "localhost: port".

Holy cow.

Not sure why "test" and "test" didn't work!

Hi... using this tools since two months and I have a recurrent problem... Dont know why it stop reading img files generated by blueiris so I dont get any motion alert. Restarting the tool solves the problem but it happens every two days recurrently... Not any msg in the log... Its extrange because blue iris continue generating the images when motion is detected, deepstack is running fine... Its like this tool stop reading new files without any reason.
Using hp i5 7500t with 8gb ram w10pro and 500gb sata disk.
Thinking create a service that close and reopen the app every night... but its not the desireable solution...
Thanks in advance by any help
