        I've been using, works like a champ on an older HP Dumb terminal running XP CE.
        Can't use the latest build though, I think it's too much for the poor little machine to handle.

        • Thanks for all your feedback. I was away for the past couple of days, but will try to include your suggestions, especially running as non-root user, in the upcoming update.

          • latest version doesn't appear to like me.

            The early Windows beta was a bit too unstable for the additional tasks I have going. And kept crashing causing issues with the downstream apps

            Normal setup:
            Beast -> Planeplotter -> FR24 + java SQL capture + VRS + etc etc..

            FR24 new feed setup:
            Beast -> FR24 -> PP raw ->other apps

            However when attempting to use the latest version, it can't seem to find my beast to even start the additionals.

            Thoughts?

            • Thanks, will check that too. In the mean time you could manually edit fr24feed.ini and remove the @3000000 part after COM4.

                Thats the odd thing.. it's not present there

                receiver="beast"
                fr24key="<key>"
                host="localhost"
                path="COM4"
                bs="yes"
                raw="yes"
                logmode="0"
                windowmode="0"

                I have used the original, to stop going though registration again. But it appears to append new options just fine

                • I found the bug.. to use new version before I release the fix please add '@' after COM4.

                    • OK, I've got the decoder/feeder running and have added --net-http-port 8081 but my browser fails to connect. When running dump1090 natively, I can browse and see the map/aircraft. How can I achieve the latter with the FR24 version?

                      This is my .ini file:

                      receiver="dvbt"
                      fr24key="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
                      path="/usr/lib/fr24/dump1090"
                      bs="yes"
                      raw="yes"
                      logmode="2"
                      procargs="--net-http-port 8081"

                      • You need to use Malcolm's dump1090 version.. please change the command to "/usr/lib/fr24/mr-dump1090"

                          I've changed the ini file and restarted the feeder with sudo service fr24feed restart but still no joy. RPi is configured to allow the port. SHould I have any other arguments?

                          • You may need to add --net as well, not sure if that's on by default?

                              Nope, can't add a second argument, mr-dump1090 fails to start if there is something like "--net --net-http-port 8082"

                              I don't understand it, it was working OK with just dump1090.

                              • Please send me a PM or email with your .ini file.. it should work just fine, I have multiple parameters in my test setup.
