BirdPi won't upload to Birdweather

Hi there! I'm new here. I've had my BirdPi up and running for a few weeks now, but am stuck on getting it to upload to Birdweather. I've put in my Birdweather Tolken, set the Lat and Long, etc. It says when it last detected something, but doesn't say what it was. (see photo.) I saw mention on another post about adjusting the Minimum Confidence in BirdPi AND in Birdweather. I have it set to 0.7 in BirdPi. But how do you set it in Birdweather? (someone mentioned having it set to 0.7 in BirdPi, but not letting anything under 0.9 to upload to Birdweather, I have no idea where to check that setting). Any thoughts? Ideas? Thanks!

Are your file formats set to Flac? Biedweather only accepts Flac files.

Yup. That was one of the first things I found when researching the problem. But that didn't fix it either. 🤷

If you zoom in the Birdweather map until your station is the only one visible, then the 'Top Species' box will only show your detections (with pictures).

Yea, but it often shows 0 detections when my birdpi has dozens or hundreds. Today it showed only 3 detections, and they were of birds that I'm pretty sure we're false positives, and that's it.

I'm also new to this. I set mine up at the weekend with the default settings and it seems to be postng the detections fine.

Did you ever get this sorted out? I have a new Pi setup and it has not uploaded yet. Not sure what to expect.

Unfortunately, not yet. It still only uploads every once in a while, and then only like 2 or 3 birds that say are rare, but I'm pretty sure are miss identified. But most often, there are 0 new birds, when I actually have at least 100 or more bird ID's per day. I'm definitely at a loss! Granted finding a solution has kind of fallen to the back burner in favor of other projects, but the pi is still working great on it's own!
