For 「おい」, daijr/nikk/gg5 have similar notes as daijs. But meikyo/koj only note the familiar part.

Regarding 「おおい」, daijs has: 「遠くの人に呼びかけるときの声」. So while they both might be used for calling out, the situation is different. Probably best to split the long variants out (without [fam,male]) and note that they're used at a distance.

I don't think male is correct for おーい at least
