NameError: name 'log_message' is not defined

Hey all. Been using this docker for a little while now and it's great. Today had a knock on the door and the power company guy said they are swapping my meter from analog to digital. He pulled the old and replaced with the new. I went out and got a picture of the new meter and came back in to run the docker command to pull all broadcasted signals to see if I can match my new id to a message. Unfortunately I got this error:

root@omv:~# docker run --rm -ti -e LISTEN_ONLY=yes -e RTL_MSGTYPE="all" -e RTL_TCP_ARGS="-d 777" --device=/dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb allangood/rtlamr2mqtt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rtlamr2mqtt.py", line 38, in <module>
    log_message('Starting in LISTEN ONLY Mode...')
NameError: name 'log_message' is not defined

I know I did this successfully before but now I'm unable to read the unfiltered messages. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I also tried the other docker command for reading messages and it gave the same error.

Hello @dinki ,

I am in the middle of a big change for this "LISTEN_ONLY" mode at the moment... For now, the best way to get it working is to use a old version, like this:

root@omv:~# docker run --rm -ti -e LISTEN_ONLY=yes -e RTL_MSGTYPE="all" -e RTL_TCP_ARGS="-d 777" --device=/dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb allangood/rtlamr2mqtt:1.7.2

@allangood Thanks for the speedy response. I'm getting farther but for some reason it's not reading from my SDR. I do have two of them on this machine if it matters. This is what I'm seeing now:

This is due to the -d 777 parameter. It says that you are trying to use the 777th USB device connected to your machine.
By the output, only one device has been found, so you should use -d 0 or not use the parameter at all.

Thank you for your help. I got it to work.
