Failing to start on my fresh raspian

[ozett]

i did a fresh raspian-install on a new sdcard, cloned the repository today, like told on the github homepage, than it failed to start.

if i call it as root directly, it got an errormessage. see below any hints to fix it? (update tried, said it is the newest one)

i am a bit lost, after failure i thought of trying v2beta an did the cmd-line like on homepage in the subfolder of rpisurv

git checkout v2.0_branch

it changed nothing, i got still the error, it fails to start

pi@raspberrypi:~/rpisurv $ git checkout v2.0_branch
Branch v2.0_branch konfiguriert zum Folgen von Remote-Branch v2.0_branch von origin.
Zu neuem Branch 'v2.0_branch' gewechselt
pi@raspberrypi:~/rpisurv $ git pull
Bereits aktuell.
pi@raspberrypi:~/rpisurv $

any help with this? would like to see my streams running 😄

Hi, you can not use tabs in the config file, this is not yaml compatible. Please use only spaces. The error states "found character '\t' that cannot start any token"

If you want to use v2.0 use the steps as outlined in the 2.0 README. After checkout v2.0 you should run the install.sh script again.
