Rx location not sent by stats scripts?

Hi,
Running the image on Pi and added the adsbexchange-statspackage from github to check my feeder remotely (might add a few more sites but can't have remote SSH on them so this is a good option)

All looks good expect:
1. Distance rings don't show (even though selected in the menu)
2. Pressing the home button centres the map over northern Italy... I'm in UK.

Think the contents of /run/dump1090-mutability/receiver.json aren't being sent, I can see the correct lat/long in there. Did a quick copy of the JSON files as they dropped into /tmp and they don't have the "version" or lat/long from the receiver.json.

Can I just edit the script to add the contents to the generated JSON being sent to the site?
If so, does it need to be at any particular location within the file.

Thanks
John.

 

Thanks for the explanation.

The receiver location is not being sent. I thought that was a bug (which was breaking the home button and rings) but if it's intent that's OK.... can it be added to the readme though please?

 

Yeah this is purposeful to prevent some governments from murdering feeders / disappearing them / imprisoning their family / etc.

Maybe we can add to that feeder interface at some point as a configuration option in the browser and save a cookie - but for now .. no locations for anyone ...

 

I hope that UUIDs aren't being shared by their owners in that case - it makes sense not to help the bad guys but the key information is the UUID/URL I think.
We can approximate feeder location based on what it's displaying (it'll be roughly in the middle of the displayed planes assuming omni-directional antenna).

That'd be a nice touch to have it as a cookie (or even allow lat/long to be manually added to the URL). Thanks.

 

In the URL is probably pretty easy to add to javascript range rings.
