SOLVED Flightradar24 upgrade to version (1.0.34-0)

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking

I got an email telling me to upgrade to the latest version of FR24. I assume others have done this already. I just wanted to ask if the upgrade interfered with Piaware in any way. Thanks.

No,it went fine, just check if the service fr24feed is up and running after the upgrade.
I had to restart it for 2 devices out of 11.

The deep answer is 'it depends ’

I’ve seen cases where people have multiple copies of dump1090xxx misconfigured feed sources that cause chaos as soon as one of the services is restarted and the other steals the stick directly instead. Rendering other downstream feed settings useless.

The single instructions they give only seem to work for the pi version (those who run the old debian/linux one suddenly realised it hadn’t been updated in years and needs manual) and seems possibly only certain versions of OS/repo state with other feed versions spit the dummy

if you have attached it to a feeder (say piaware) already going via network interface, expect less issues than if you used that first and added everyone else after. As bombing it in primary USB control case may well stop the others momentarily

I ignored the instructions and just used apt-get install fr24feed
It upgraded it on Buster fine.

My feeder is running the Debian package of Piaware 7.2 on Ubuntu (Linux Mint). I ran the commands they sent

Blockquote
sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/fr24/fr24feed_updater.sh
sudo /usr/lib/fr24/fr24feed_updater.sh
Blockquote

And the response was

Blockquote
Installed version: 1.0.25-3
Latest available: 1.0.25-3
Latest version is already installed
Blockquote

I got the same message when I ran ‘apt-get install fr24feed’

I’ll get on the FR24 forum and see what they say. Thanks.

Thanks to all who replied.

Yep. You fall into the first category :slight_smile:

So there are links at feed.flightradar24.com for the .debs as long as you know your wgets etc.
