  • mlat not running... used to work

    I don't know why however for some reason my mlat is not starting.

    all i can see that could be causing the issue is this, however I don't know how to fix the issue
    [mlat][e]Receiver not compatible with MLAT, timestamps in wrong format![time][i]Time synchronized correctly, offset -0.001 seconds

    It was working, only thing that has change is I had a power blackout and has since rebooted, I have tried rebooting again

    any assistance would be greatly appreaciated

    I have checked the logs and here is the output from /var/log/fr24feed/fr24feed.log
    Code:

    What receiver do you have?

    Looking at your post history something that uses dump1090.

    Of most the guides here, they say to use dvbt (DONT IMMEDIATELY CHANGE TO THIS), or beast-tcp:30005

    The avr-tcp:30002 format has had issues for a while.

          wiedehopf when i built this feeder i used the fr24 pi image and it came with dump1090-mutability the url you provided me seems to talk about dump1090fa wont there be a clash between the two?

          Comment


          • #6
            Yeah it will replace dump1090-mutability with dump1090-fa and modify your fr24 config.

            Fixes 99% of problems people on this forum create for themselves.

            Multiple interfaces, so you can even keep using the old interface if you want to.

              wiedehopf thanks for the reply i will give it a go, i hadn't actually made any changes to my config or the pi... it just stopped working.

              will let you know how i get on

              Thanks again.

                receiver="avr-tcp"
                fr24key="<removed>"
                host="127.0.0.1:30002"

                That's not the default configuration though.

                There maybe be other issues if MLAT didn't work with default settings, but it will still be easier to check like this.

                        that's unfortunate.

                        maybe this will help:

                        sudo apt dist-upgrade

                            let's see what you are running:

                            cat /etc/os-release

                            If it's jessie, that might not be supported by dump1090-fa anymore because it's really old.
                            At this point it might be the best solution to just start with a fresh image anyway.
