Close it, restart PC and only run dump1090-mr itself and look for messages.

Either wrong tuner (chipset right can have wrong tuner)

Or wrong USB device selected which needs additional commands to setup page added to select usb2 or similar

Help me get my FR24 running - Flightradar24 Forum

Hey guys, a while back I had my FR24 running fine and eventuallty it stopped working. I stopped using it... I want to start using it again, but not getting any luck. I have a Nooelec DVB-T that is currently working (can listen to stuff on SDRSharp). When I start up FR24, it's not working, and I'm not sure if it's

Which file do I modify to make the new command work in fr24 please? I think the new command works

mr-dump1090.exe --raw --device-index 1

How do I make fr24 use the command?

that is now a sign of no aircraft. either none near, bad reception, or not tuned

if starting dump1090-mr does not say "rafael tuner detected" but rather "ft0013" or similar. it is not a suitable stick

To elaborate on instructions by Oblivian, see image below:

NOTE:
If you run mr-dump1090.exe with antenna and pigtail connected, received ADS-B messages will make the screen to scroll so rapidly, you wont be able to read initial few lines where necessary information about DVB-T is displayed. Some times even leaving pigtail connected to DVB-T can catch enough ADS-B signal to make screen scroll. Better disconnect even the pigtail from DVB-T.

This is what I get now - AFTER I modded the .ini file to say mr-dump1090.exe --raw --device-index 1

**abcd567** · 2017-09-26, 21:28

Restart Windows with DVB-T plugged-in.
Run fr24feed.exe only ONCE, and check again.

**Oblivian** · 2017-09-26, 21:30

You cannot run both together like that. (run task manager and kill all instances)

Forget FR24feed for now. The need is to confirm the USB is correct first. And then setup FR24feed with the working setup afterward.

FR24 launches Dump1090-mr as part of its startup sequence - this is the USB connector - one instance at a time
And does not display all the info in the FR24 window when it does so.

Running it on its own confirmed the next step - the need to change USB device

Which later need to add the same --device-index 1 into the additional commands in FR24feed config web-page or .ini to select USB 2 instead.

The same has to be put into commandline for running dump1090-mr to see full details of the tuner for above suggestion - your screenshot shows it is still using 0 not 1

You could see stuff appear if it has, and signal is OK (with planes in area)

THen the same working commands get added to the web-config page of fr24feed. The only difference when running fr24feed is you don't see above happen in the background.

So you need a CMD window in the same location as fr24feed. And run dump1090-mr --device-index 1 and report back the tuner found once correct USB selected.

It is contributor-made Information has been repeated many

it is not clear if this is a Windows10, or newer USB stick causing the issue. But it has only recently arisen that it is not auto detected for you.

For test, only ONE instance of mr-dump1090.exe should run. NO instance of fr24feed.exe should be running.

First disconnect antenna and pigtail from DVB-T. Keep the DVB-T plugged into computer.

Now kill all instances of fr24feed.exe and mr-dump1090.exe by Restarting Windows10.

After Windows10 has restarted, double-click mr-dump1090.exe. Do NOT double click more than once, else a second instance may start, and the test will fail. Also DO NOT start fr24feed.exe, else test will fail.

Now check what console window displays.

We've already found it auto selects wrong device, so needs to run via CMD and confirm the chipsets after selecting device 1 v 0
