I use a bookmark to occasionally bring up the MLAT information for my feeder and find when it no longer works, that two numbers have been appended to my feeder name. The numbers appear to be random and generated at the server end as I have not been able to locate them on my Pi, although I have to admit my search has not been complete as grep is painfully slow on the Pi and they could also be stored in RAM. Is there any information available on these numbers as to their purpose, and if there is a process of restoring the name to the name with no numbers? I tried restarting the mlat-client in /etc/init.d on the Pi, but it took several minutes for the numbers to disappear so I am not sure if it really worked or if it was a coincidence. Thanks
If the client doesn't properly disconnect, the numbers are added server side if your client connects again as you're technically still connected. Restarting mlat-client should fix that up unless you use a name that is also being used by someone else. Just try a new name as a start? This issue should not be happening with more recent clients. If you use the adsbexchange image, consider downloading the current image and starting over using that. If you have some kind of script add-on install, run the install again to get the current feed client: https://github.com/adsbxchange/adsb-exchange#install-the-adsbexchange-feed-client (if you want to start fresh, this is a guide: https://github.com/wiedehopf/adsb-wiki/wiki/Raspbian-Lite:-ADS-B-receiver)
