Tom, thanks for checking.
The log you share shows that the program ends gracefully without a message. The question is what has triggered this event
I had a look at the code for the airspy HF+ and it checks with the core driver whether the device is still running (ie connected and streaming), and if not, stops the program. Key thing is that in this case there does not seem to be a message printed.
So if that is the case, it might be a hardware issue, for example with the USB port, power supply fluctuation, the HF+ or the cable.
I have added an extra message to the program: "AIRSPYHF: device stopped streaming.". This is printed if the program stops itself because the connection with the dongle is lost as per check with the native driver.
I will give it another think if there are other program exits without printing a reason. Thanks for sharing. Hope the above fix gives us some direction to see if it is hardware or software.
Please let me know if it happens again with the above fix.
Thanks for flagging, Jasper
ps 1 you might want to edit out your ports in the log fragment (or just delete the log now you shared). ps 2 you can check the message in case of a hardware issue by unplugging the device and see how the program responds.
Turned out to be an easy problem diagnosis...the Airspy just died completely...replace it with a v3 SDR-RTL dongle for now
Jasper, I've been running on the same hardware for months. The web site cannot be accessed and data is no longer sent out. If I just restart AIS-Catcher it starts working again just fine...no indication of hardware problem, although that what it seems like
It started showing up a month or so ago, and now I've seen it more frequently. It's happened with the last few versions of AIS-Catcher. I can try swapping out my Pi for a different one. I've running with the same Airspy HF+ Discovery and only have one of them.
See ouput below. Any suggestions?
thanks, Tom Kreyche
