    Perhaps that is indicative of the level in interest in pi support versus *any* other platform.

    My output was showing continuously connecting to...disconnecting from.. ttyUSB0 on that 10 to 15 second interval I have already mentioned.

      10-15 seconds is possibly retry gaps, likely means port not available/taken.

      Just the same way people keep posting

      Thats likely still you getting crashed/running service vs run on demand mixed up.

        @stealth it looks for me like you are running multipe fr24feed.

        Which version of fr24feed did you install?
        Did you make an additional systemd service?

        To check how many fr24feed copies are running you can use this:

        pgrep fr24feed

        It should show only one number, if it is more than one that means means multiple instances are running and causing all kinds of problems.
        (For me it shows 514 as a result, which is the id number of the running program)

        I just checked and you can have 5 connections on the raw port. (with the 64 bit version)
        But it doesn't crash or anything if you try to use more connections.
        If you are using planefinder i believe it mirrors its input also so if you need more than 5 connections you could use that.

          Add these two lines in your file /etc/fr24feed.ini

          use-http=yes
          http-timeout=20

            Well that confirmed that the auto start of fr24feed isn't working, as 'pgrep fr24feed' didn't return anything. The version of fr24feed is the current amd64 version from the Flightradar 24 web site.

            The installation process used was abcd's "Manual Configuration of FR24 Service....etc" although just having gone through the steps again I noted that in Step 6 after the first command 'sudo systemctl enable fr24feed', I don't get the text 'Created symlink /etc/.........'

            After a reboot and confirming with the pgrep command that no fr24feed is running, I entered 'sudo fr24feed' and its up and running, talking to ttyUSB0. 'reader' is not currently going through the connect/disconnect repeats.

            I'm not keen on introducing beast-splitter into the equation, thereby adding another variable at this point.

                Planeplotter is also now running (Planefinder auto starts) and the fr24feed trace is still devoid of connect/disconnect repeats.

                My best guess is that using various bits of info from different sources in the set up has created a conflict/issue.

                  please show the output of:

                  cat /lib/systemd/system/fr24feed.service

                  and

                  sudo journalctl -u fr24feed --no-pager

                  Maybe something got mixed up putting stuff into the service file.

                  Getting the service file to work now should be rather easy

                      Yeah seems you didn't copy fr24feed to /usr/bin/
                      Go to the directory where fr24feed was extracted to, the copy it to /usr/bin:

                      sudo cp fr24feed /usr/bin
                      sudo systemctl restart fr24feed

                      The automatic start should work now, but you will need the udev rule as well otherwise there will be permission issues.
                      You could also just change the service so that it executes fr24feed as root, then you don't need the udev rules

                        Seems wiedehopf is right, the servis does not find extracted binary fr24feed in folder /usr/bin

                        Also, just deleting the line User=fr24 from service file will make fr24feed to be started by root.

                        Alternatively instead of deleting you can commenting out by placing # at start, i.e.

                        #User=fr24

                        .

                          To check that the binary fr24feed (which was extracted from downloaded file "fr24feed_1.0.18-5_amd64.tgz") was copied to folder /usr/bin/:

                            That was the conclusion I came to, but I had checked it was present yesterday and again this morning. However I have reentered the cp command and its definitely there:

                            <SNIP>

                            The systemctl commend does not start the feeder. I have rebooted twice and checked.

                                Found the problem.

                                There is a typo in the service file:
                                ExecStart=/user/bin/fr24feed

                                needs to be
                                ExecStart=/usr/bin/fr24feed

                                (spot the extra e)

                                Did the copy paste not work?
                                (If Ctrl-V doesn't work in the linux terminal you can try either a middle click or Ctrl-Shift-V)
