Re: Piwigo AI: Beta Launch
Is this suitable for shared webhosting or would a VPS be preferrable?

Yes, it’s perfectly suitable for shared web hosting. That’s why the inference is performed on our AI servers

Re: Piwigo AI: Beta Launch
Thanks for the invite!
What's the expected turnaround time for processing submitted images? I see them all in the queue with a Pending status.

No worries about the invitation, I hope you like Piwigo AI :-)
The processing time depends on the current load on our servers. It can be almost instantaneous when the queue is light, or take a few minutes during peak usage.
Also, if you submitted images around 11:00 PM (Paris time / CET), there was a temporary delay on our side. The workers were restarted shortly after.
Everything should now be back to normal and processing should be smoother.
Let me know if you notice anything unusual

Re: Piwigo AI: Beta Launch
They did eventually process, except for one stuck in "pending" but I accidentally submitted a video so that's probably expected behavior? How can I remove it from the queue?
Otherwise, looking good!

Re: Piwigo AI: Beta Launch
Yes, this is most likely due to the video. The analysis probably stopped mid-process and the job didn’t go through the callback workflow
Regarding the queue, there are currently no available actions. However, in the upcoming 0.0.2-beta version that I’m preparing, I’ve added several actions such as the ability to cancel a job or force the AI server to retry an analysis...
I’m also working on a way to make the plugin more proactive without impacting page load times (some backend actions can only be triggered when a Piwigo page is opened)

Re: Piwigo AI: Beta Launch
Hello everyone,
If you're unable to activate the plugin, it may be because you're using a version of MariaDB/MySQL that is not currently supported. I'm using vector features that are only available in MariaDB 11.7+ and MySQL 9+.
However, I am currently working on a "degraded mode" that will not rely on these vectors. I expect to release this by the end of the day or tomorrow.
Also, for users who are able to use the plugin but whose Piwigo is not accessible over HTTP/HTTPS, you won't really be able to use Piwigo AI for now. This should also be resolved in the next version of the plugin.

Re: Piwigo AI: Beta Launch
Hello!
A new version of the plugin has been released with the following changes:
- add degraded mode for databases without native VECTOR support
- add overview page (For now, it just displays a message if the database isn't compatible. More features are coming soon.)
- add direct image file upload as an alternative to sending the image URL (useful when the AI server can't reach private galleries)
- add pull mode via admin polling as an alternative to the auto-callback (useful when the AI server can't reach private galleries)
- add outdated plugin detection
We have also received new requests to test Piwigo AI, so we will be sending out a few API keys.
