MLAT and multiple network feeds

[UhtredTheBold]

Hi, I have received an email out of the blue today from flightradar24 asking me to turn off mlat...

Important information
If you intend to share data to networks alongside Flightradar24, in your Flightradar24 receiver please disable MLAT to the following settings: MLAT=“no”and MLAT-without-gps=“no”. This is to ensure the quality of the data we receive and use and to reduce incompatibility with other services.

I do feed into piaware and flightradar using sdr-enthusiasts containers so I suppose this is what they are referring to.

I don't know if this is just directed at me or if it's going out to a wider audience but in any case I am comfortable I can satisfy their first ask using the documented environment variable:

MLAT=“no”

but I don't see an environment variable for the second

MLAT-without-gps=“no”

Can an environment variable be added for this and are there any wider consequences from this email that should be added to the container documentation?

It’s not directed at you. I and many others in our Discord got the same email. I’ll address this shortly.

Hi @UhtredTheBold, if you update your FR24 container, MLAT functionality is completely disabled. Thanks.

[UhtredTheBold]

Done. Thank you
