[solved] Can't connect to external source (127.0.0.1:30005)

[digidax]

Hi, have installed latest FR24 image (pi24-2.2.0.img) on Raspberry and then the Radarbox feeder. Feeding to FR24 is working, to radarbox not. Here are the important outputs:

Any ideas why port 30005 is not available?
Thanks and all the best, Frank

solved, I had to add "--net" in /etc/fr24feed.ini:

procargs="--gain -10" --net

Well worked out!!

Hello, I have the same problem. Even if I run RBfeeder alone I don't get any data. I have installed FR24. I have now made the following settings. FR24 data OK. No data arrives at RBFeeder.

can someone help

receiver="dvbt"
fr24key="hidden"
bs="no"

@rettungshasi
Mistake is in file /etc/fr24feed.ini

In following line, the location of 2nd " is wrong. It excludes --net from procargs, hence makes it ineffective. As a result no data is available at port 30005 for use by rbfeeder.

procargs="--gain -10" --net

The location of 2nd " should be at the end of line, like below:

procargs="--gain -10 --net"

Please correct the mistake in file /etc/fr24feed.ini, and save the file.

After saving file, restart fr24feed by following command

sudo systemctl restart fr24feed 

Now data at port 30005 will be available for rbfeeder to use. Check its status by following command:

sudo systemctl status rbfeeder   

.

I have the same probem - rbfeeder not connecting to Dump1090. I've added procargs="--gain -10 --net" to/etc/fr24feed.ini, but it doesn't work. In fact it kills fr24feed without enabling rbfeeder. Any ideas? Thanks.

Post your ini file with your key details redacted

STEP-1: Put right Flightradar setup
(1.1) Delete all contents of your file /etc/fr24feed.ini, and cooy-paste following:
(Replace xxxxx by your actual FR24 key)

Code Select Expand


receiver="avr-tcp"
host="127.0.0.1:30002"
fr24key="xxxxxxxxx"
bs="no"
raw="no"
logmode="1"
logpath="/var/log/fr24feed"
mlat="yes"
mlat-without-gps="yes"


(1.2) Issue following command to edit config of dump1090-mutability:

Code Select Expand


sudo nano /etc/default/dump1090-mutability 


In the file opened, do following 2 changes:
(a) locate following line which will be in the top portion of the file:
START_DUMP1090="no"

Change no to yes, so the line becimes:

START_DUMP1090="yes"

(b) Scroll down till you see following line near the bottom of file:
NET_BIND_ADDRESS="127.0.0.1"

Delete 127.0.0.1 to make it empty, like below
NET_BIND_ADDRESS=""

Save and close file.

STEP-2: Put right Radarbox setup
Delete all contents of your file /etc/rbfeeder.ini, and cooy-paste following:
(Replace xxxxxxxx by your actual RB24 key)

Code Select Expand


[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log
key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
sn=EXTRPI555963

[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1
[mlat]
autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/mlat-client
[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true


Save and close file

REBOOT PI


That is all

[ajheatwole]

That did the trick. Thanks! Can I buy you a drink? I'm in the Washington DC area of the US.
