❓ [BattyBirdNET-Pi] Can't get add-on to launch properly

Cannot get this add-on to launch on HA instance. I recently got into birdNET-Pi, and loving it! It's really neat to detect what's nearby, and I wanna thank you for making this an add-on for Home Assistant. I recently saw you made it into an add-on, and got really excited to try it out, as I do see some bats around! But I can't seems to get the add-on to launch properly. I had to change the port from 8081 to 8082 becasue I have birdNET-pi using 8081. I thought it was because I had birdNET installed that may be an issue, so I uninstalled that add-on, still same issue. The log error is below. What could be the issue? Thank you!

touch: cannot touch '/home/pi/BirdSongs/StreamData/analyzing_now.txt': No such file or directory

Hi, I'll look at that thanks

[alexbelgium]

I'm trying some things ;)

[TheRealFalseReality]

Currently getting this issue when trying to update. But no real rush on this, I just wanted to play with Batty-Pi! birdnet-pi is working as intended.

[alexbelgium]

The build is not working yet for some unknown reason - I'll post here when it works ! Now that I know someone is interested I'll do it more seriously ;-)

[TheRealFalseReality]

lol! ok! Thank you very much! I graduated from Biology a while ago and always had an interest with wildlife Bio, and when I saw birdNET-Pi, I got hooked! I'm now watching and identifying birds around, the house, setting up feeders and bird boxes soon! Then I noticed some bats and this add-on!

[alexbelgium]

ahah I see your enthuisiasm and fully share it ! I've spent WEEKS trying and selecting the best microphones to be able to improve recognition ; review daily the new species to understand if they are real birds or flukes (and discovered I had incredible birds that I didn't even suspect near me!) and install bird boxes (I initially built them in wood and moved to wood-concrete ones that are more robust)

For bats, I think you need another very specific microphone that might make it a bit harder to implement! but good luck !

It has succeeded building, I'll look if it launches :-)

[TheRealFalseReality]

Thanks to the discussions, I picked up that BOYA mic that everyone recommends. I dunno if it can catch higher frequencies, but I don't mind trying. I got a hawk that lives around here with a few owls. And since I am in Eastern US, many Northern Cardinals! I got it to update to 0.3, but having an NGINX error, I haven't looked at the logs just yet.

[alexbelgium]

Should be good now!

[TheRealFalseReality]

Should be good now!

Alrighty, I'll take a look this evening!

[alexbelgium]

Well isn't that good the issues just came a bit later ;) but I'll look again
