For one you appear to be copying the examples into the fields 1:1.

Extra arguments shows an EXample. You included the ex. This will fail.

You have also specified dump 1090 as the location. Not a com port where to find it.

Not sure this works on osx.

There is a thread where others have examples of it working.

Suggest locate that and have a read through

I have merged your posts as a single one out of context does not mean anything to anyone. Likewise your 'screenshots' do not refer to anything?

We need more information. You gave up on un blacklisting on the Rasbperry Pi despite the link being provided to run the command to un-blacklist. But also did not explain if you manually installed FR24 feeder via script, or used any of the guides here, or the standard Pi24 image. All of which will effect things differently if it pre installs software to connect to the stick beforehand.

As for MacOS, I believe there are less people using to be able to assist other than the above thread I provided or I would expect them to have intervened already.

I am not a Mac user, but all 3 platforms need some work done before a RTL stick can be used.

PC - Zadig drivers
RPi - librtlsdr (and remove device blacklist by putting blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu in etc/modprobe.d)
MacOS - rtlsdr_osx.zip or similar. http://macappstore.org/librtlsdr/
