Apprise Notifications Not Saving On Update

[paulhoff]

I put info into the apprise notification section. The send test message works successfully. However, when I push update all the info I have entered disappears.

[ehpersonal38]

Interesting. Are you on the latest update? Also please run the following command on your Raspberry Pi and copy and paste the output of your birdnet.conf here so I can see it. You will need to censor any sensitive data such as passwords, API keys, etc:

cat ~/BirdNET-Pi/birdnet.conf

[paulhoff]

Thanks. I am not sure how to check what version I am running. I am running the most updated version from https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/89781f98e1e53948dd52b4cc579ca6f16446546a?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fmcguirepr89%2FBirdNET-Pi&userId=867221&signature=b433c6e79f2d6d8b

Also the Apprise.txt contains nothing.

conf is below.

RECS_DIR is the location birdnet_analysis.service will look for the

data-set

it needs to analyze. Be sure this directory is readable and writable for

the BIRDNET_USER.

RECS_DIR=/home/admin/BirdSongs

REC_CARD is the sound card you would want the birdnet_recording.service

to

use. Leave this as "default" to use PulseAudio (recommended), or use

the output from "aplay -L" to specify an ALSA device.

REC_CARD="default"

PROCESSED is the directory where the formerly 'Analyzed' files are moved

after extractions have been made from them. This includes both WAVE and

BirdNET.selection.txt files.

PROCESSED=/home/admin/BirdSongs/Processed

EXTRACTED is the directory where the extracted audio selections are

moved.

EXTRACTED=/home/admin/BirdSongs/Extracted

OVERLAP is the value in seconds which BirdNET should use when analyzing

the data. The values must be between 0.0-2.9.

OVERLAP=0.0

CONFIDENCE is the minimum confidence level from 0.0-1.0 BirdNET's

analysis

should reach before creating an entry in the BirdNET.selection.txt file.

Don't set this to 1.0 or you won't have any results.

CONFIDENCE=0.75

SENSITIVITY is the detection sensitivity from 0.5-1.5.

SENSITIVITY=1.25

Configuration of the frequency shifting feature, useful for earing

impaired people.

FREQSHIFT_TOOL

FREQSHIFT_TOOL=sox

If the tool is ffmpeg, you have to define a freq. shift from HI to LO:

FREQSHIFT_HI

FREQSHIFT_HI=6000

FREQSHIFT_LO

FREQSHIFT_LO=3000

If the tool is sox, you have to define the pitch shift (amount of 100ths

of semintone)

FREQSHIFT_PITCH

FREQSHIFT_PITCH=-1500

CHANNELS holds the variable that corresponds to the number of channels

the

sound card supports.

CHANNELS=2

FULL_DISK can be set to configure how the system reacts to a full disk

purge = Remove the oldest day's worth of recordings

keep = Keep all data and 'stop_core_services.sh'

FULL_DISK=purge

PRIVACY_THRESHOLD can be set to enable sensitivity to Human sounds. This

setting is an effort to introduce privacy into the data collection.

The PRIVACY_THRESHOLD value represents a percentage of the entire species

list used during analysis. If a human sound is predicted anywhere within

the precentile set below, no data is collected for that audio chunk.

Valid range: 0-3

PRIVACY_THRESHOLD=0

RECORDING_LENGTH sets the length of the recording that BirdNET-Lite will

analyze.

RECORDING_LENGTH=15

EXTRACTION_LENGTH sets the length of the audio extractions that will be

made

from each BirdNET-Lite detection. An empty value will use the default of

6

seconds.

EXTRACTION_LENGTH=

AUDIOFMT set the audio format that sox should use for the extractions.

The default is mp3. Available formats are: 8svx aif aifc aiff aiffc al

amb

amr-nb amr-wb anb au avr awb caf cdda cdr cvs cvsd cvu dat dvms f32 f4

DATABASE_LANG is the language used for the bird species database

DATABASE_LANG=en

HEARTBEAT_URL is a location to ping every time some analysis is done

no information is sent to the the URL, its a heart beat to show that the

analysis is continuing

HEARTBEAT_URL=

SILENCE_UPDATE_INDICATOR is for quieting the display of how many commits

your installation is behind by, relative to the Github repo. This number

appears next to "Tools" when you're 50 or more commits behind.

SILENCE_UPDATE_INDICATOR=0

These are just for debugging

Thanks, your config all looks good there. I'm thinking this is a permissions issue. Can you please run the following command and copy and paste the output here so I can take a look?

ls -lh ~/BirdNET-Pi/

[soumilgurjar]

I faced the same issue when setting up my apprise notifications despite being on the latest update. As mentioned by @ehpersonal38 , it was indeed a permissions issues and the solution for me was changing permissions as described in https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi/discussions/381#discussioncomment-3005877 .

[ehpersonal38]

@soumilgurjar Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I did fairly recently change some code which set the permissions for BirdNET-Pi related files. I thought it was a harmless fix but apparently not. I've just done a commit now which should hopefully sort out all of this.

@paulhoff Go ahead and update your system via Tools -> System Controls -> Update, and please see if your issue is fixed.

[paulhoff]

I updated to the most recent, rebooted. That did NOT fix the problem. However following the permissions command from #381 did fix it. Thanks for all the help.

[ehpersonal38]

Yep you're right, I had a bug in the perms. Now they should be fixed! I'll close this as solved.
