Portsdown 4 NG

[Jabier]

Dear om:
I can't compile correctly the Portsdown 4 NG version. It gives me the error:

...
rfkill: cannot open /dev/rkill: permission denied
rfkill: cannot read /dev/rfkill: bad file descrptor
lua: srdin:3: /home/pi/portsdown/user/configs/main_config.txt: No such file or directory
stark traceback:
[C]: in function 'assert'
stdin:3: in main check
[C]: ?
.....
Where can be the error? Do you have a compiled version?
Thanks for your attention.

Portsdown 4 NG is not intended for general use. Hence this text on the download site:

The Portsdown 4NG will be a DVB-S and DVB-S2 digital television system for the Raspberry Pi 4. Note that it is currently in the early stages of development and has VERY limited functionality.

Please wait until it is formally released and use the supported Portsdown 4 until then.

Okay. So I understand that it still doesn't work, right?

Wrong, it does work!

BUT as Dave says it is very early development work, has very limited functions and is NOT on general release.

Unless you know exactly what you are doing and want to use the limited functions as listed on Github it is best to leave it alone and use the standard releases that are supported by Dave.

However, if you can contribute and want to join the official dev team, I'm sure Dave would be very happy to have you on board!

Good morning:
I suspect that the code:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Briti ... ll_p4ng.sh
chmod +x install_p4ng.sh
./install_p4ng.sh

not is fine.
This is ok:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Briti ... ll_p4ng.sh
chmod +x install_p4ng.sh
./install_p4ng.sh

Is true?
