Flightradar24 decoder/feeder BETA testing (Win/RPi/Linux/OSX)

[JensK]

However I cannot seem to get the new feeder to work. I have tried both settings: ModeS Beast (TCP) and AVR (TCP) with Host 127.0.0.1:30003.
The connection apparently is set up, however no aircraft are reported according to the feeder status page. The old feeder still works fine .
So I must be doing something wrong, but what exactly is it?

Sorry to have bothered you. I just found out that I did not have to set a server up. So I shut down the server and selected microsadsb (USB) and connected directly to the according COM-port. That worked flawlessly. Anyways, I think for upgraders the documentation might be somewhat clearer.

Hey there,

I am having a weird problem. I am using a GNS5890 USB-dongle for receiving ADS-B messages.
Until now I have successfully been using the old feeder (With adsbscope I set up a server for the decoded data on Port 30003, then start the feeder and voila - it just works and aircraft are transmitted).

However I cannot seem to get the new feeder to work. I have tried both settings: ModeS Beast (TCP) and AVR (TCP) with Host 127.0.0.1:30003.
The connection apparently is set up, however no aircraft are reported according to the feeder status page. The old feeder still works fine .
So I must be doing something wrong, but what exactly is it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Jens

Hi

A bit confused about the information in the help file regarding the mpx setting.

I have a SBS-3 outputting on port 10001 and I have the FR24feed software connecting to that ok, as far as I can tell.

I have enabled the mpx setting and I have BaseStation connecting to FR24feed on port 20072


The help file, in two different places states the following:-

--mpx=BOOL - Defaults to “no” and decides whether or not the SBS1/3 compatible data
stream should be enabled on port 10001. This option is only available when Kinetic
Avionics receiver is used to enable Basestation connection. For all other receivers this
options is ignored.

To enable SBS1 compatible data feed please enable the “MPX” feed either by using the
WWW configuration form or by adding mpx=”yes” in the fr24feed configuration file. After
you do that you can start Basestation and configure its data interface to use TCP/IP
connection where IP = 127.0.0.1 and port = 20072.
* - This option is only available for those who own a Kinetic Avionics SBS1/3 family
receiver.

So am I to understand that FR24feed "generates" an output on port 10001 or port 20072 or both? If it's generating on port 10001 then I would need to change the setting in the SBS-3 from 10001 to something else to avoid conflict would I not?

Could someone please clarify the correct setup and whether my understanding is correct?

Thank-you

When you start Basestation - go to Settings then Hardware settings. On the network tab - change address to 127.0.0.1 and port to 20072.

This will only work with MPX = "yes".

I discovered that Planeplotter can get raw data by using the SBS3 direct as your ADSB source, and setting the SBS3 IP address as 127.0.0.1:30006

As per this thread
{edited out as I am a new user & cannot even quote URLS}

RTL will be accessing the hardware directly, And if DVBT chosen FR24feed will also do this - need to pick your running order OR use RTL first with output per my example

Thank you!

I cannot get rtl1090 & VRS to connect to the fr24feed_win32-1.0.11-6.zip dated 2015-01-30 either. I could really use an older stable version that works properly!

All good I found an old working copy on an old system that I used to use for my FR24 feed.

The current build for OS X is failed to decoding planet after file system upgrade to 10.10.4 .

Hi Paolo,

Can you send me the old software, or the link?

Thanks

Hi,
I can't post links but plz check your pm.
EDIT: I can't even pm anyone (?)...

As a new windows user I'd thought I would provide some feedback.

The new windows fr24feed_win32-1.0.11-6 is not able to work in dual mode.
i.e. it is a stand alone product and feeds directly to flightradar24. It also requires access to the usb dongle alone with nothing else accessing the usb dongle as well.

When I had followed the guides I was curious why can I set up rtl1090 to view the broadcasts but cannot get it to transfer data into f24feed.
Unfortunately it does not work with rtl1090 simultaneously and yes I tried every port, every feed and even rtl1090 was in avr(tcp) mode on correct port 30003 flashing pink on bottom but still feed24 refused to open the port.

Fortunately I went hunting and found a Russian link which had the old feed24.exe
Installed this put in my sharing key and voila beautiful stuff.
I can now simultaneously use the rtl1090 and feed it into feed24 on windows and see it on flightradar(my account) showing "online" and working.

So perhaps I would recommend (yes I did send an email asking for links to the old software) to provide this to new users who followed the guide but never had success running the two software side-by-side.

Hope this helps new windows users feeding flightradar24.
Best of luck

RPI2 & Dump1090-Mutability& r820T Dongle & ADS-B Antenne on Top of the roof receiving lot's of plane but very seldom the Track is shown on the screen; e.G T.EDDN1 show's much plane's which are close to my receiver (sometimes RSSI below -10)
Can anyone tell how FR24 selected the uploaded signal's

tnx any information

Hi guys,

And a software that works with the RadarBox? no longer exists?

Thanks
