      Validating email/location information...ERROR

      There has been another feed (EDDN41) registered under this email address!
      If you have more than one receiver please contact us at support@flightradar24.com.

      If you have lost your sharing key please use the retrieval form at:


      Would you like to try again?
      I`ll try again...

      Edit:

      Ok, I used my old key and it went on:

      I used autoconfig and I got a new radar id.

      And I got one error msg:

      Saving settings to /etc/fr24feed.ini...ERROR
      pi@fr24rasppi ~ $ sudo service fr24feed start
      [ ok ] Starting FR24 feeder: fr24feed.
      But it seems to be feeding. :-)

      We will see.


      Edit2:

      I had to do a
      sudo fr24feed --signup
      And a manual config instead of autoconfig.


      But then:

      It is running!
      sudo service fr24feed status

        I follow the instruction and input my sharing key.
        Then, assigned new radar code.
        So, could you re-assign previous code again? because love previous radar code.


        After installation, please run the sign-up wizard even if you already have the sharing key:
        Code:
        $ fr24feed --signup

          Would something like this help to improve time accuracy / MLAT though it is only down to microseconds accuracy when installed on the rpi 2? It is a GPS expansion board for rpi2 using Ublox MAX-M8Q.




          Shouldn't use much processing power and the rpi 2 shouldn't have problem running it with the decoding software.

              Uh Oh...

              FR24 Feeder/Decoder Process ... failed!

              After installing beta version and re-doing config

              :-(

              Any ideas?

                Ok.. re-did --signup.. Its verified my key but now im getting

                pi@neePi ~ $ sudo service fr24feed status

                [FAIL] FR24 MLAT: not running ... failed!

                On looking at the website:8754 it is receiving data (i can see tracked aircraft).. but not transmitting it i think...

                Edit x 3 .. Changed back to the default DVBT stick (default) and now it connects.. Still failing on the MLAT tho..

                  iamnothere, neebong,

                  armv7l should work fine on B+, we tested that.
                  The problem you have may be related to a still running previous instance of fr24feed and/or dump1090.

                  Please try to check it:
                  Code:
                  $ sudo service fr24feed stop
                  $ pgrep -l fr24feed
                  $ pgrep -l dump1090
                  If anything of it is still running after you issue stop command, please try to kill it explicitly (PID will be given by pgrep output):
                  Code:
                  $ sudo kill -9 PID
                  And then restart fr24feed:
                  Code:
                  $ sudo service fr24feed start
                  If it still doesn't help, please enable logging through signup wizard and post the output here. You will be able to specify the path for logs, log name will be fr24feed.log.

                    StDt,
                    iPhone GPS would be just fine for that.

                    This error:
                    Saving settings to /etc/fr24feed.ini...ERROR
                    is most likely related to incorrect file permissions. pi user should normally be allowed to read/write to /etc/fr24feed.ini
