The current build for OS X is failed to decoding planet after file system upgrade to 10.10.4 .

I cannot get rtl1090 & VRS to connect to the fr24feed_win32-1.0.11-6.zip dated 2015-01-30 either. I could really use an older stable version that works properly!

All good I found an old working copy on an old system that I used to use for my FR24 feed.

As per this thread

RTL will be accessing the hardware directly, And if DVBT chosen FR24feed will also do this - need to pick your running order OR use RTL first with output per my example

Hi

A bit confused about the information in the help file regarding the mpx setting.

I have a SBS-3 outputting on port 10001 and I have the FR24feed software connecting to that ok, as far as I can tell.

I have enabled the mpx setting and I have BaseStation connecting to FR24feed on port 20072


The help file, in two different places states the following:-

--mpx=BOOL - Defaults to “no” and decides whether or not the SBS1/3 compatible data
stream should be enabled on port 10001. This option is only available when Kinetic
Avionics receiver is used to enable Basestation connection. For all other receivers this
options is ignored.

To enable SBS1 compatible data feed please enable the “MPX” feed either by using the
WWW configuration form or by adding mpx=”yes” in the fr24feed configuration file. After
you do that you can start Basestation and configure its data interface to use TCP/IP
connection where IP = 127.0.0.1 and port = 20072.
* - This option is only available for those who own a Kinetic Avionics SBS1/3 family
receiver.

So am I to understand that FR24feed "generates" an output on port 10001 or port 20072 or both? If it's generating on port 10001 then I would need to change the setting in the SBS-3 from 10001 to something else to avoid conflict would I not?

Could someone please clarify the correct setup and whether my understanding is correct?

Thank-you

When you start Basestation - go to Settings then Hardware settings. On the network tab - change address to 127.0.0.1 and port to 20072.

This will only work with MPX = "yes".

I discovered that Planeplotter can get raw data by using the SBS3 direct as your ADSB source, and setting the SBS3 IP address as 127.0.0.1:30006

Hey there,

I am having a weird problem. I am using a GNS5890 USB-dongle for receiving ADS-B messages.
Until now I have successfully been using the old feeder (With adsbscope I set up a server for the decoded data on Port 30003, then start the feeder and voila - it just works and aircraft are transmitted).

However I cannot seem to get the new feeder to work. I have tried both settings: ModeS Beast (TCP) and AVR (TCP) with Host 127.0.0.1:30003.
The connection apparently is set up, however no aircraft are reported according to the feeder status page. The old feeder still works fine .
So I must be doing something wrong, but what exactly is it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Jens

Sorry to have bothered you. I just found out that I did not have to set a server up. So I shut down the server and selected microsadsb (USB) and connected directly to the according COM-port. That worked flawlessly. Anyways, I think for upgraders the documentation might be somewhat clearer.

[JensK]

So now the only thing I still don't get working is running the new feeder and adsbscope simultaneously.

As previously described it is now the feeder that accesses the GNS5890-USB-dongle on COM Port 7. So no way to have adsbscope connect to GNS5890 the same way. I have tried to set up a RAW data stream in the Feeder and then have adsbscope connect to it. And while the connection seems to work, there are no aircraft in adsbscope being shown, although the feeder uploads aircraft. Does anyone have any idea how I can get both to work?

fr24feed glitch

Hi

When terminating fr24feed.exe (pushing the menu "Terminate FR24Feeder") also the called dump1090.exe or mr-dump1090.exe (set in ini file) should be terminated. But as I see here on Win7 only fr24feed.exe is terminated.

Bug or feature?

What is the last version of Windows feeder?
On the website (http://feed.flightradar24.com/#windows) the version listed is 1.0.14-9, but when I execute it says 1.0.13.2.

Sounds like you have not over-written your correct local copy. I just updated from 11-6, definately 14-9 now

No, if you see version 14.9 was compiled on Sep 7 2015 14:19:56, just half hour ago

Until this morning the last version was 13.2.

By the way, is MLAT enabled with 14.9?

1.0.14-9 persistantly crashing gone back to 1.0.11-6 also crashing

Windows 10 laptop, latest FR24feed keeps crashing at irregular intervals. I went back to the old version and this is also experiencing the same crash.
This problem is affecting some of my other feeds, MLAT Radar, ADSB-Hub, VRS etc, as they rely on FR24 feeder to suppy the output to them.

Just crashed yet again - Last log:-

Anyone else experiencing this?
Is there a link I can re-grab the older version 1.0.11-6 from? I may need to do a completely fresh install.
