  • How to use RTL1090+FR24feed+Planeplotter simultaneously

    Hello,
    What I'm trying to do is using RTL1090.exe to control DVB-T stick. Let RTL1090 decode data then send to FR24_feed & Planeplotter.
    When using old version FR24_feed, everything is OK.
    Planeplotter use port 31001. FR24_feed use port 30003.

    However, after upgrading FR24_feed to latest version, here comes a conflict.
    As described in help manual, when using RTL1090 feed data to FR24_feed, data should be AVR format.

    New setting is:
    new config.jpg
    With this configuration, the scenario of RTL1090+Planeplotter could work well. The scenario of RtL1090+FR24_feed could also work well.
    But, if starting RTL1090+Planeplotter+FR24_feed in sequence, only FR24_feed could receive data from RTL1090. Planeplotter's "Received off-air message rate" will drop to 0 immediately after FR24_feed is launched.
    If sequence change to RTL1090+FR24_feed+Planeplotter, Planeplotter could work normally. FR24_feed will lose data feeding and turn to ping 1 ping 2 ping 3...
    Seems like both Planeplotter & FR24_feed are connected to RTL1090 via port 31001, but only one of them could receive data.

    Based on my understanding, these two application should only receive data from port 31001, not trying to control RTL1090 through it. So these two service should be able to exist simultaneously. Just like multiple clients could communicate with website's server port 80.

    Did I set something wrong?
    Any idea from you experts?

    Many thanks.

    Remove the reference of dump1090-mr.exe for a start. It does not need to be specified and may be then launching.

    But I'm not sure that RTL1090 allows multiple connections on 31001

    Why not let planeplotter connect to the stick directly?

    /edit seems I mis understood the later updates supporting SDR, still needs something in between. Doh.


    or FR in that matter and then feed the other off the raw out. (RTL1090 is known to do its own data filtering during processing)

    You can run the W32 version of dump 1090 to be sure first then attach both via TCP.

    I have USB (beast) -> FR24 -> PP via raw out

      Hello,
      Thanks a lot for your suggestion.
      I always think about if there is some incorrect setting that cause port conflict, but never think about that RTL1090 maybe does not support multiple connection at all. Nice idea.
      Change settings into this:
      workable config.jpg
      All of 3 software are working well.
      RTL1090-->(AVR format data)-->Planeplotter-->(AVR format data)-->FR24_feed
      Input into Planeplotter must be AVR format. RTL1090's default Beast binary format could not satisfy FR24_feed. Seems like Planeplotter does not have the capability of recoding binary to AVR then sending to FR24_feed.

        Other option is try modes-beast via TCP type forgetting avr if you don't want to be relaying

          Thank you, that fixed it for me. All other settings left as per the previous post.

                RTL1090 by default outputs Beast data on port 31001

                The file "fr24feed.ini" should be like this:

                receiver="beast-tcp"
                fr24key="xxxxxxxxxx"
                host="127.0.0.1:31001"
                procargs="--net"

                bs="no"
                raw="no"
                logmode="1"
                mlat="yes"
                mlat-without-gps="yes"
                windowmode="0"

                  If you want to use avr-tcp, then file fr24feed.ini should be

                  receiver="avr-tcp"
                  fr24key="xxxxxxxxxx"
                  host="127.0.0.1:31001"
                  procargs="--net"

                  bs="no"
                  raw="no"
                  logmode="1"
                  mlat="yes"
                  mlat-without-gps="yes"
                  windowmode="0"

                  The "avr-tcp" setting of fr24feed.ini works only after changing configuration of RTL1090 as follows:
                  Open config of RTL1090, and place a check mark besides "/avr -AVR asii format" (see screenshot below)

                      (1) Add these two lines shown in red at the end of file fr24feed.ini :

                      receiver="avr-tcp"
                      fr24key="xxxxxxxxxx"
                      host="127.0.0.1:31001"
                      procargs="--net"

                      bs="no"
                      raw="no"
                      logmode="1"
                      mlat="yes"
                      mlat-without-gps="yes"
                      windowmode="0"
                      use-http=yes
                      http-timeout=20
                      (2) After adding above two lines, restart fr24feed

                      (3) There are 0 aircraft listed in RTL1090, while it shows Dongle (R820T-00000001) connected.
                      Have you connected the antenna to the DVB-T dongle?
                      The fr24feed will keep on "pinging" if there are no aircrafts.

                        I think you need to switch on the config in rtl1090.

                        Right now it looks like rtl1090 is not receiving anything.
                        (Maybe just needs to be stopped and started?)

                          The aircraft list displays in both positions of config button (on & off).

                          Yes, maybe just needs to be stopped and started.
                          May be the antenna is not connected to the dongle.

                              The page localhost:8754 says
                              Aircraft tracked : 0

                              This is because your RTL1090 is NOT tracking any aircraft.

                              There are 0 aircraft listed in RTL1090, while it shows Dongle (R820T-00000001) connected.

                              Have you connected the antenna to the DVB-T dongle?
