Linux feeder software for Flightradar24 (Old software)

[mauhen]

Hello Mike
sorry if this question has been dealt with previously on the forum. How can I confirm that the fr24 feeder software running on my raspberry pi is actually sending data to fr24?
Thanks.

Seems like #31350 should give you a brief summary of the problem. Whenever I give a longer description, I don't get a reference.
BTW: I used 3 different email addresses.

[FR24support]

All of a sudden, got Confirmation mails on 2 of the 4 test messages sent.

I have now received four test messages from two different email addresses, all of which generated new Support references.

Seems we sorted out the "digital mishap" in terms of communication. Please feel free to "clean up" the messages on this thread.
-- EDIT: Just make sure you got mail from me. I sent mail again, detailing the issue, and no confirmation ticket from FreshDesk. *pointing finger to a possible culprit*

No email received from you.

Are you getting a bounceback?

Please send a new, "Test" message to Support@FR24.com.

Please drop me a mail at: FAKM @ eons . co . za (omit the spaces)
Or please direct me to the applicable forum/thread to paste that query to you.

Mailed support@fr24 quite a few times, but seems nobody is home, or they are inundated with queries.

Unless you are using a different email address, the last message received from you to Support@FR24.com was dated 17th December to which we replied.

All messages to Support@FR24.com are acknowledged immediately with a support reference number.

Please try again quoting the acknowledgement email reference.

FR being (in my opinion) the larger network and better than the others, but yet the level of support us mere T-feeders are getting leaves much to comment about. I'm stopping my redirected data stream from the linux box to a windows box just in order to feed with the FRfeeder app... until some human gets back to me with a response. I live in a 3rd world country where we have to deal with bad service, but com'on guys - European standards please! Surely I'm not the only person worldwide that uses the x86_233 feeder and is having this problem.

I am also having issues with feeder fr24feed_x86_233 ... its trying to communicate to FR24 via TCP and not via UDP. Mailed support@fr24 quite a few times, but seems nobody is home, or they are inundated with queries. Even since some maintenance was done last week on the DNS entries, this popped up. Would appreciate someone to get back to me regarding this issue.

The worst part of this is that losing your feed actually loses coverage ... there was only one feeder where you are, this has reduced by one due to in incompatibility between the FR24 supplied feeder software and the FR24 feed server.

Please send an email to our support, they will probably contact you with me later and we can debug that case.

1.you should input position by yourself on startup
2.without position...not sure you are feeding anything, so you are not on the map

read this thread, your question should be there too

Ok thanks i read some things including the HowTo. Nobody seems to set a Location anywhere. I started the Feeder first on a Windows System with setting my Location and get the key. This key i using on my RaspberryPi. I think i forget so set location? I think i have to write a mail to fr24 support and ask them. If they didn't see any location then in found the failure. Otherwhise, can it be set by starting the feeder?

EDIT: I started the feeder on windows now with connection to dump1090 on the Raspberry and it knows my Possition. :helpless:
