Blue Iris Doesn't Talk to BlueOnyx over LAN

[feerlessleadr]

Hi - I recently upgraded BI to v. 6.0.1.11, and figured that I would test out BlueOnyx as a replacement for CPAI.

I'd like to use my GPU for the AI processing, and unfortunately that is on a different machine on my LAN, since my BI machine is not able to have its iGPU passed through to my Windows VM where BI i running.

I setup BlueOnyx on another machine that does have access to the iGPU, and it installed fine, and appears to be configured correctly. I updated the BI settings to point to the new AI location on my other machine, and although each camera in BI reports that the AI is online, when I manually trigger an event (or I actually walk in front of a camera), BlueOnyx does not get any information from BI (the requests are still 0 on my BO dashboard). I can access the BO dashboard without issue from my BI machine, so I'm fairly confident this is not a firewall issue, but would appreciate any guidance. Here is my config.json:

{
  "port": 32168,
  "request_timeout": 15,
  "worker_queue_size": null,
  "model": "rt-detrv2-s.onnx",
  "object_detection_model_type": "RtDetrv2",
  "object_classes": "rt-detrv2-s.yaml",
  "object_filter": [
    "person"
  ],
  "log_level": "Debug",
  "log_path": "C:\\blueonyx\\logs",
  "confidence_threshold": 0.5,
  "force_cpu": false,
  "intra_threads": 16,
  "inter_threads": 16,
  "save_image_path": "C:\\blueonyx\\images",
  "save_ref_image": true,
  "gpu_index": 0,
  "save_stats_path": "C:\\blueonyx\\stats"
}

Here are my settings in BI:

Also - I'm not sure if this is related or not, but despite having the log path setup for BO, there is no log file generated, so I'm not sure where to find the BO logs. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I did this just today. Works fine. Setup just as you did with server IP of the machine hosting blue onyx. Make sure the blue onyx service executable has network access in addition to the main executable in windows firewall.
I'm running blue onyx as a service on the GPU machine.

Yep, like I said, I can reach the BO stats page from the BI machine in the browser, so I don't think it's a firewall issue.

I thought I had this issue but it was something with the new BI V6 update not handing off requests to the AI service correctly. I switched to the CPU service, saved, rebooted the box. Then changed back to my LAN AI processor (blue onyx), saved and rebooted the box and it all started working again.
