Hello,

I am new to sharing although I have been using Plane Finder on my iPhone for a few years.

I want to continue with PF but would like to add Flight Radar 24, is this possible? If so, how?

I am using a Raspberry Pi with an ADS-B receiver on Raspbian with Dump 1090 (I think...)

Thank you in advance
 
Yes you can by running following script in terminal of RPi

Code: 
sudo bash -c "$(wget -O - https://repo-feed.flightradar24.com/install_fr24_rpi.sh)"

After installation, a signup/configuration process will start.

IMPORTANT:
During configuration process, when asked to choose receiver type, do NOT select receiver type DVB-T. Select AVR-TCP and port 30002
 
Well that was remarkably easy!
it worked just as you said, auto-configuration too.
Both Flight Radar and Plane Finder coexisting
Thank you for your help
 
For your future reference, in case you want to find the sharing-key or to edit configuration:


1 - Plane finder
Give following command
Code: 
sudo nano /etc/pfclient-config.json

It will output following long line. Scroll right to see the line upto it's end. Your Planefinder sharecode is the last item zzzzzzzzz in this long line

Code: 
{"tcp_address":"127.0.0.1","tcp_port":"30005","select_timeout":"10","data_upload_interval":"10","connection_type":"1","aircraft_timeout":"30","data_format":"1","latitude":"xx.xxxx","longitude":"yy.yyyy","sharecode":"zzzzzzzzzzzz"}


2 - Flightradar24:

Give following command
Code: 
sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

Output of above command is as follows, and has you fr24 key:

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