Title: Airband feed - install on Raspberry Pi Bullseye
Post by: rx100 on January 14, 2023, 11:04:36 PM: Hello, all, first post.

I have successfully installed RB on a Raspberry Pi and everything is working fine. I wanted to add a RaspberryPi to stream a VHF feed, but I have already spent hours trying to install the Airband Feed software without any success. I have followed the instructions on https://www.radarbox.com/sharing-vhf but somehow, the installation fails because of the version of the Raspberry OS (bullseye). I tried the workaround which consists of faking the OS version but that didn't work either. I think I've hit a dead end :-p

Has someone successfully installed the software ? Can anyone please help ?
Thanks
Greetings

I decided to install icecast on a separate RPi running DietPi (great distro. !) which has icecast bundled. Now I just have to figure out how to link it RB rb 8-0 (the config files are XML).

Another issue i have is MLAT. It is "active" but there are no "stations"....

Otherwise, all is working fine.

What do you have inside rbfeeder.ini?
