phenix: it's called "HUD_config.xml" (not _xml) and it's stored in \Documents And Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\FPDB or in the folder where FPDB.PY is started.

I didn't really put much work into getting it to work in Vista, but the same problems that people had in Vista were also present for people using it in XP that do not run as administrator. I had a computer that ran vista, for a minute or so.. and my gf's mom has a laptop that runs vista.. other than that, I've not even seen Vista for more than a few minutes.

We do really want to check out 7 for our EEE pc though .. sigh.

Yep, it was a silly mistake. I downloaded the zip 3x yesterday and forgot to convert the file on the 3rd download. I am having new issues today. I had it running last night but now it is failing.

Why is the HuD not working though?

One feature that is currently marked "todo" would sure help the Player stats screen/database. The ability to selectively delete a catagory. I occasionally use micro games to test this and other programs. I end up with a lot of odds and ends lines. I know, don't turn on the autodownload. I always forget it's on... sigh. Then to clean it up I have to recreate the whole database and go to backups of HH's and rebuild everything.

I also like to break my HH's into two-month segments figuring anything much older than that is somewhat a waste. Sure would be nice to have it, even if it had different abilities to delete specific HH's.

Thanks for the consideration..

You can't delete in the dev version, but i'm pretty sure that you can filter the view using both date and limit.

Hey i am seeming to have a tough time installing and than running the program was wondering if someone can help me. I read all the how to's but still seem to not be able to run the program please help me. Also mu OS is windows xp

I'm working on saving hand histories from openholdem into an fpdb postgre database. Currently, I have a c++ dll which logs most actions to a text file. I'm wondering what is the best way to insert the info into the database? Should I just write my own sql insert statements or is there a better way?

We can try, but i've not idea where you are failing at the moment - more info please, logs, command line output, written description of what you are doing... anything more descriptive than "tough time installing"

If you make the text file you are logging to the same format as stars, or write a converter (HandHistoryConverter) for your log file auto-import will just pick it up and insert.

Sorrow.

Thanks Sorrow. I think that I'll try to match the stars format and auto-import since that's already supported. Do you happen to know if there is any info on the stars hand history format anywhere? I've found some examples on the web but would feel better about working with a standard I know that fpdb will understand.

There isn't a standard. But, fpdb doesn't actually interpret Stars format directly, it interprets a Starslike format, close enough is good enough.

I suggested using HHC has that file converts several hh formats into the Starslike format that fpdb uses to insert.

Could you add a feature that tells me I'm going to get rivered BEFORE it actually happens?

ok when i am trying to start it this the error i get

This is a stab in the dark, but something I ran into when I set it up for the first time.

If you've already updated the HUD_config.xml with your database username and password then the issue may be that the "fpdb" catalog doesn't exist on your MySQL server.

If you create an empty catalog named "fpdb" then when you run the application the first time it'll notify you and there's a menu option to create the tables/view/etc that FPDB needs.

If you're unaware of how to add a catalog you may want to check out the MySQL GUI administration tools:

Just thought I'd give an update:

I'm running Vista Home Premium (64-bit) and finally got graphing to work after updating everything except python (2.5) to the latest versions. The only issue I'm having now is an issue someone mentioned back in March I believe. When I run a graph more than once without closing fpdb it will create a duplicate graph underneath itself. The data that shows up is in each graph is the same as the second request run. All successive graphs result in an additional graph under the last. I've tried clearing the dates, etc. The only way I've found to get back to one graph is by closing the fpdb entirely and re-opening it. I know this is something that at least one of the developers could not duplicate (no pun intended). Has anyone ever found a solution to this problem.

Thanks to all working on this project. I absolutely love the program and am really looking forward to its continued growth.

I've just downloaded sql's git (first attempted update in a long time ) and I'm getting "no player ids found" on almost every action, whereas I don't get such messages from the working version I have (from April). I guess this is something trivial. Any "5 seconds or less of thought" clues?

Looks like you haven't edited the config file to add the fpdb database password.
