I'm trying to run the new fr24feed software with the following configuration: feeding server is pulling SBS1 data over TCP from port 30003 on a remote device that is running antirez's original dump1090 (i.e. https://github.com/antirez/dump1090#port-30003)

Up until now I was running the legacy client using fr24feed_x64_241 --fr24key=abcd --bs-ip=example.com --bs-port=30003 (where example.com is the IP of the device running dump1090)

What is the equivalent of this on the new client? I can't seem to find any configuration that works, and the lack of docs isn't helping :/

[Oblivian]

If the hosting device is running dump1090, the client (Im assuming you are talking running on a separate windows PC here? - why not run it on the Pi too?) needs to use the raw out (avrtcp) of dump1090 from port 30002

[yuvadm]

Ah! Success with the following command line:

fr24feed --fr24key=abcd --host=example.com:30002 --receiver=avr-tcp

Just as some background on my setup, I'm running dump1090 on a very lightweight OpenWRT device (https://blog.y3xz.com/blog/2014/04/2...dar24-dot-com/) so there's currently no way for me to run the FR24 client on the same device, I have to run it off another host and pull the data over TCP.

Thanks for the help!

Hi all!

I've installed the fr24feeder on my Paspbery Pi 2 B.
Configuration etc is done

I see no errors but with "sudo service fr24feed status" I get the follwoing output:

pi@rpphg ~ $ sudo service fr24feed status
● fr24feed.service - LSB: Flightradar24 Decoder & Feeder

It seem's that there's something wrong or missing.
Any ideas?

thanks!

Is there a non Debian *.tgz available anywhere? On the feed page I can only find a link to the old 1.0.13 version.

We do plan to publish tgz with the next release.

Hi all!

The feed overview in my account shows an update: #232
How can I update my PI?

thanks

Thanks! I'll try that!

Hi all!

I got a strange issue.
After ~1day no planes are seen.

The fr24 service restarts by cron every night, but this does not help.
A complete reboot of my PI fixes the problem.

Any ideas how to debug this?

It suddenly "stops":
