Archived - Beta test MLAT software for Raspberry Pi

[Guest]

YSWG, thanks, that was missed from the web interface. Fixed now in version 1.0.14-10. You can select "dvbt" option and use those dump1090 forks that you want. We need timestamps from dump1090, so "--mlat" option must be supported by these forks if you want to contribute to MLAT.

[YSWG]

Ok, have added "--mlat". Also changed to dump1090-mutability and also updated to FR24Feed 1.0.14-10, seems to be working ADSB but no ModeS only ac yet.

Astrofreak85, Berlin Bob,

May I ask you to enable FR24Feeder logs and send it here?

Status: Upgraded to today's build (fr24feed_1.0.14-10), reran fr24feed --signup, all working again.

1.0.14-10.... somebodyy??

Me too.
Bundled dump1090 dies:

/usr/lib/fr24/dump1090 --net --net-http-port 8080 --raw --mlat
/usr/lib/fr24/dump1090: error while loading shared libraries: librtlsdr.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installed dump1090-mutability.
Changed /usr/lib/fr24/dump1090 to /usr/bin/dump1090-mutability in /etc/fr24feed.ini
Now works!

Edit
syslog filled with

 /usr/sbin/cron[2141]: (*system*fr24feed_updater) WRONG FILE OWNER (/etc/cron.d/fr24feed_updater)

cowned to root, now updater must work ;-)
Maybe other owner problems with dump1090?

[Tviki]

Not working for me ((

[Guest]

Thanks for the feedback. dump1090 that is bundled didn't include paths to librtlsdr.so that is also bundled in the package. This is fixed in a new version 1.0.14-11 and also cron file permissions fixed.

I am sorry but how do you update from version 14-7 to 14-11? sudo apt-get says fr24feed is newest version but I checked it is still 14-7.

[4l4R1]

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

[North Borneo Radar]

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

noted with thanks. upgraded and so far so good.

I am sorry but how do you update from version 14-7 to 14-11? sudo apt-get says fr24feed is newest version but I checked it is still 14-7.

Also make sure you have "raspberrypi-beta" added to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. The complete line in there for the FR24 repos should be:

deb http://repo.feed.flightradar24.com flightradar24 raspberrypi-stable raspberrypi-beta

Then do this...

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

T-EGJB6 here in Guernsey also upgraded and back online - looking good.

Updated but it didn't auto start, had to be manually started.
