  • There's now a new version 1.0.16-11 that addresses the issue. For those of you who are affected, please update your feeder to the latest version with:

    Code:
    sudo /usr/lib/fr24/fr24feed_updater.sh
    Apologies for any inconvenience!

    • Thats looking a bit healthier

      Now to find out what is resetting my clock 46years. Anyone else seeing that (youll need to run sudo fr24feed start without 'service')

          No not seeing that but I did a full distro update to clean up any other woolie problems. (Jessie)

            I thought I had..

            Just turned off local router NTP relay to ensure it was getting time from external. But alas

              It took a little while for me to figure out what happened, I noticed Kemistry was offline for a while and then realised it might have something to do with the latest version and updating etc etc... I have updated to 1.0.16-11.........Now I am getting the following errors by the gazillion:

              My clock is NOT wildly out of sync, I still haven't figured out why this even needs to happen, none of the ADS-B / Mode-S MLAT calculations depend on the system clock.... For now I've stopped feeding till I can see this is fixed...

              • Also, when are you going to get Mode-S -> MLAT working via "avr-tcp" etc ??? I don't wish to have fr24feed being responsible for firing off dump1090 ... I don't understand why it's required... And so far, no one has explained why they think its required.

                  It is actually not required and it worked just fine with avr-tcp. However, volunteer MLAT was disabled for technical reasons some time ago. We are hoping to enable it back next week.

                  The error you are getting does not depend on your local clock, the message itself is ambiguous and is fixed in the upcoming release. The problem occurs when timestamps from dump1090 are drifting much faster than they should.

                    Just want to confirm, if "avr-tcp" and "beast-tcp" feeders can both contributing to FR24 MLAT starting this version?

                    As I know, the previous version of fr24feed block all other sources except USB DVB-T Stick for contributing FR24 MLAT.

                      I'm encountering the same time errors. So when I got you right, this issue will be addressed in a release higher than the current .11 ?

                        It only launches Dump1090 when using a DVB-T unit and DVB-T is defined.

                        It's required as that's what initiates the USB device and tunes the right frequency to be able to receive from a DVB Stick.

                        From my brief testing, Other feeder types connect to data feed directly like the old software on 30003. Status is usually 'connecting to x receiver' and no mention of Dump1090. Check it out yourself by dropping the 'service' command and change the feeder type a few times.

                        I use it port 30002, as I run Mutability independently, and as far as I can tell it doesn't run Dump1090 a 2nd time, and I get MLAT statistics fine (when its enabled) and T-MLAT6 has it down as low as 400ft around here, and theres not that many Pi users in my area that I know of.

                          Still very new here and trying to understand things. By "Mutability" are you referring to dump1090 mutability? And are you actually able to contribute ads-b based data to T-MLAT6 type radar tag sources with an RPi and fr24feed by using dump1090 mutability?

                          I'm a little confused because piopawlu said above that user pi MLAT was disabled for now.

                          Also, is this fr24 pi update broken for everyone? Is there a way to down rev if the beta doesn't work?
                          TIA .

                            Yes. Its open source - there are various versions of Dump1090. FR use their own based on Malcom Robb fork, I use the one included with PiAware (-mutability). Most of them add the --MLAT tag that has been mentioned. Which is a time tag to packets sent out.

                            Yes, it is currently disabled. Thats why we mentioned twice in your other thread, that it is currently DOWN. And I clearly pointed out there, Raspberry Pi contributions show as T-MLAT6/7

                            That doesn't mean they have turned it off for everyones CLIENT side.

                            Data appears to still being sent. Its just not being publicly displayed while they work on it. Else they can't test and work on it with no data...

                            • OK, I think I'm starting to understand, please pardon my noobness. So this beta update time stamp problem is a client MLAT dump1090 mutability problem?

                              The peer to peer MLAT pi thing sounds interesting but just still cautious about breaking my working pi fr24 live feeder .

                                Can you double check the coding on the built in web-page examples. Still has the MPX/SBS feed listed as 10001 - pretty sure this opens port 20072 given testing does it not? And you still specify 10001 as the incoming port in host/IP
