List index out of range after update

[Svardsten53]

After an update analysis stopped and I'm getting the following:

22:50:14 systemd[1]: Started BirdNET Analysis Server.

I have tried restarting all services and did a reboot, but still the same problem. Is there a way to fix this?

I'm tinkering with a routine to do translations and some modifications of pages and before an update I do a restore of the original php and py files in the scripts directory in order to not getting unmerged files etc, so it might be possible I have caused this issue myself.

Sunday and Monday folders in /BirdSongs/May-2022 are empty and no new spectrograms since 22:26.

Hi, Lars --

Can I ask you what method you used to update?

[Svardsten53]

I used the usual one in the menu.

I thought I solved the problem by doing the following:

• Backup of birds.db
• Uninstallation (which preserves the BirdSongs folder)
• New installation
• Restoring the database, which was not easy from a plain file, NOT a GZ backup, difficult to replace the running db.
• Adding my own translations

It looks fine in the log, but the confidence values are very low. Even if I lower the confidence threshold to 0,3 and get some detections they are not written to the database but they are in /BirdSongs/Extracted/By-Date folder.

11:45:15 server.py[16257]: WRITING RESULTS TO /home/tyreso/BirdSongs/May-2022/10-Tuesday/2022-05-10-birdnet-11:44:25.wav.csv ... DONE! WROTE 1 RESULTS.

There seems to be some problem with the database. I guess the best thing is to do a clean installation, but it should have been nice to have the observations from the latest weeks saved. I'll see if I can reproduce the problem on my test system.

Hi, Lars,

During this step:

Restoring the database, which was not easy from a plain file, NOT a GZ backup, difficult to replace the running db.

Did you use scp or WinSCP` as detailed in the wiki?

Even if I lower the confidence threshold to 0,3 and get some detections they are not written to the database but they are in /BirdSongs/Extracted/By-Date folder.

I had this issue the other day when I was messing with birds.db over FTP. No detections got logged. I had to sudo chmod 777 birds.db, then reboot the system, then it all started working again.

@ehpersonal38 Nice avatar!

Thank you both for your help!

I first used File Manager to transfer the file from Windows, didn't konw about the bug or WinSCP. After using WinSCP everything works much better and I have detections in the database again.
