Linux feeder software for Flightradar24 (Old software)

[peterhr]

Getting nuts here Itīs late, iīm tired and iīll give up for today.

The only message that i noticed that donīt show on log in deatched mode is:

[e][stats] Cached feed_id=XXXX for network T.

This could be an account problem too, i really donīt know.

Any ideas ????

Maybe i should stop feeding for some days and try again ....

This is what I get

Command - this is how I normally run it
./fr24feed_arm-rpi_242 --fr24key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --bs-ip=127.0.0.1 > /tmp/fr24feed.log &

I got one error in the top block - could not connect to base station

All blocks started the 'stats' thread.

Maybe download and re-install the feeder (it was re-issued wasn't it???), if that doesn't do it ask support ... they may have a debug switch to turn on that saves more info.

Hello,

Does anyone is having problem with statistics page again (T-Feeder) with Rpi ???
I am using fr24feed_arm-rpi_242 with latest Dump1090 (MalcolmRob fork) and latest Rpi firmware.
I am using a ssh conection with Rpi and if i run the feeder in the foreground it seems to work ok. But if i send it to the background (&) , the statistics page does not seem to be updated, even when status shows "Online".

Regards,

Marcelo.

still work with screen? I assume RPi includes screen?

often in linux it is far better to run things that dont have a daemon setting to fork in background, to use screen rather than ampersand

Edited: I have seen many programs stop when &'s, an others I've seen become unpredictable in behaviour... just a thought...

Sharing key ok. The page shows that i am "online", so it is sending data.
I did not see any output message difference between the two situations.
I will grab the output for detailed evaluation and post here if i find something.

[peterhr]

Mine works fine.
It's not somthing daft like a wrong shareing key?
How does the detatched mode log differ from th fg log?

Hi Mike,

Would it be possible to build for CentOS 5.10 please, i get this error on starting :

It will only send particular aircraft if its position has been updated since the last packet was sent,, so you may have 12 ac being tracked, but it will send around 9 by average.

Ahh thank you, that explains it, short of running it through strace, is there a hidden "debug" command?

[Ressy]

Do all 9 aircraft have full information (longitude, latitude, height, etc.)

absolutely, I see much more in "interactive mode" in dump1090 with mode S only, to be expected given I cover a small recreational airfield 40 k's north of the international, but I would have expected it to report all that have full data output.

[peterhr]

Curious, is there a debug option? that displays the aircraft its sending?
I am now and often will see more active aircraft than what the feeder software says its sending, for example right now, I see 9 aircraft, but feeder reports sending only 6.

Hi All, I downloaded fr24feed_arm-rpi_242 and it has definately solve dthe problem of getting a squillion <defunct> processes on my RPi. Cool, thanks.

aah now i know why i have hundreds of <defunct> in my process list

[Kvisko]

I was wondering if anyone had compiled and run the fr24feed on ar71xx platform?

Would it be possible to run fr24feed on routers (TL-MR3020 or TL-WR842, running OpenWRT). The dump1090 (2013-02-04) is available in snapshot/trunk, perhaps there is a way to run fr24feed on Attitude Adjustment version?
I have several members of pljusak.com weather network interested in this.
