Cannot install with Verizon Fios

[EricScottN]

Receiving the following error when trying to install

/etc/birdnet/birdnet.conf: line 13: pool-70-16-33-104.bflony.fios.verizon.net: command not found
+ rm -f /tmp/tmp.Gy7chkqJgA
+ source /etc/birdnet/birdnet.conf
The installation exited unsuccessfully.

I'd guess the script doesn't like your hostname for some reason, I'd try changing it to something simpler (mine is just "birdnetpi").

I'll give it a shot

Edit: It was set to the default raspberrypi hostname before.

@EricScottN I just pushed something to main that will hopefully fix this. Could you try running:

git pull
Then running bash newinstaller.sh again?

Upon further inspection, it seems as though the script is populating an additional line of unnecessary pooling information in the birdnet.conf file.

Should I just uninstall and reinstall?

Yes running scripts/uninstall.sh would be good! Then you can do a fresh install

The install script was trying to get your longitude, looking for keyword "lon," but it just so happens that your hostname had the word "lon" in it too, so it pulled that too and messed everything up (@mcguirepr89 I bet you never thought this would happen :)). Should be working now!
