Species range model V2.4 - V2, Jan 2024

[Punkley]

Hi BirdNET-Analyzer has upgraded to V2.4 - V2, could we get birdnet-pi updated please :)

[Svardsten53]

I agree with Punkley, it would be nice too have this update implemented in BirdNET-Pi. I hope ehpersonal38 can take a look at this as you mentioned when we earlier discussed future support. Thanks!

wouldn't it be as simple as copying the new V2 model from BirdNET-Analyzer (here) to the folder in BirdNET-Pi (here), and do the correct redirection in the server.py, species.py and birdnet.conf file? If yes, can easily give it a try!

Have you tried it in the end? Any news on this model update?

included in my repo for Pi5

Well, since there were no label changes (it was just a geographic range update, not an update to species recognized, or the underlying AI model) I pulled down the MData file and simply renamed it (removed the "V2" from the MData file) and it appears to work just fine.

If I was feeling industrious, I could have dug into the code to figure out where the MData file was referenced (and changed it there, instead of simply changing the filename), but since I'm lazy, I didn't.

[Oripy]

Perfect, that did the trick! Thanks

[Svardsten53]

I have also done the modification on my two installations. Thank you!

It really is that simple, rename and replace. 👍

Does the "preview species list" work for you? I get the image below.

[PeterMescher]

That list works fine for me. (Though I'm using an LXC fork, not the main branch)

The explanation for this v2 version (which is twice the size of the current one for BirdNET-Pi) is here: kahst/BirdNET-Analyzer#234

I'll update my 2nd system with these changes and test when time permits.
