I'm trying the release candidate (v0.21-rc1).


"AAMS code" handled (for italian players).

My configuration: linux, 32bit, sqlite, pokerstars.it
(I play only NLHM, SnG and MTT)

Viewers:
Graph still doesn't work for me
Tourney Graph works but it's wrong (seems like I lost every single
game played)
Ring player stats doesn't work (it shows nothing)
Tourney stats shows only "play game" games (no real money)
Tourney viewer seems to work fine (not sure how to use it yet)
Session stats doesn't work (I guess cause I don't play "cash games")

HUD
works fine as always

OK, the HUD is no longer working for me. I updated WINE to 1.38 and then Full Tilt had it's own software update, so I am not sure if either are the culprit (but I suspect so).

At any rate, the only info I have is that the Ubuntu system monitor is telling me that fpdb is uninterruptible and the waiting channel is "sync_page." Any ideas? Fpdb itself is not responding, seems frozen.

EDIT: OK, oddly enough I fixed it by downgrading WINE from 1.3 to 1.2. I had installed WINE 1.3 by using the Ubuntu PPA. Not sure if they had a funky build or what. Or perhaps the "ttf-symbol-replacement" had something to do with it?

Could someone pls help me with running FPDB?
I have installed it by following the steps on this page: http://pokerstart.web44.net/poker/fr...-installation/, except i have downloaded the newest FPDB from fpdb.wiki.****************/ (It is fpdb-0.20.1). I guess there is nothing wrong about that.

But when I try to run FPDB, a error appears telling me to see fpdb.exe.log for details. It says this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fpdb.pyw", line 1099, in <module>
File "fpdb.pyw", line 970, in __init__

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 44-46: invalid data

Browsing these pages I figured, it possibly has something to do with invalid characters in the routes or username (which might appear, since I'm using czech version of Windows XP SP3). My username in windows contains only english characters but the folder "Application Data" in czech version is "Data aplikací" and that " í " i think might be the problem.

Is there any patch or can I somehow fix that (without buying an english version on Windows, of course ) ?

Thank you for any answers.

I use wine 1.1.32 because it is pretty good with Full Tilt.

Your edit makes me worried that the wine boys have done something in the latest that breaks my table finding code. It might be wise to stick with a working version of wine for a while. Meanwhile, I'll give wine 1.3 a try and see what happens (I have some other things to clean up 1st ).

Ok it's also doing it with Wine1.2 as well. However it works sometimes. With WINE1.3 it didn't work at all.

Just want to add that the HUD isn't working at all for me now. using WINE 1.2. I have done about everything I can think of including creating a new ~/.wine directory. Still isn't working. I am beginning to suspect a Full Tilt update is to blame.

1.3.8 works fine for me on ubuntu 10.10 (using the snapshot versions of fpdb)

I did have a lot of problems initially, but solved most of them by going into wine config /audio and making sure that ALSA OSS and ESOUND are all activated. Note that in Wine 1.3.8 I have no override libraries set.

PS if anyone is getting problems with Full Tilt text being blurred (especially after update), this is because wine/fulltilt processes are still hanging around on the system. To fix this $ps -A and manually kill any wine/full tilt related processes.

Welcome kirk,

Could you please try using the latest development release (look under downloads/snapshots and select file fpdb-0.21.rc1.exe)


Two points:

There were a few fixes to fpdb for non-english windows installations, which are made in later versions of fpdb. (for example, the latest version of fpdb works OK for Russian and Hungarian windows, I think)

The exe version of fpdb is a complete easy to install package, so you dont have to install anything else like python and gtk. Dont worry if you already installed some extra software, it will be ignored and will not affect the fpdb exe package.

Can you please update us to know if this latest version is now working ok for Czech windows?

Just to add to my above post. I tested the HUD on Stars and it works there. Still nothing on FT. So I guess it isn't a WINE issue.

Are you playing holdem ?
Cash, stt or mtt ?

Could you look in the hud log file and hud error file please. Is any error or warning in the logs?

Nope, no errors in any of the logs. I play NLHE cash games.

I am in the process now of purging and then reinstalling fpdb and starting from scratch (rebuild the database from scratch, etc.). If that doesn't work, then I will know it is an FTP issue.

noob question but i just did the latest stars update and hud stopped working. my hands are still being tracked (graphs, stats still work).

help?

Do you mind trying the latest in my git repo--it has some changes regarding table detection that I _thought_ were only needed for Ubuntu + KDE?

1. Install git however you normally install stuff.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to your home dir.
3. Type:
   Code:

   git clone git://git.assembla.com/free_poker_tools.git

4. cd in to the free_poker_tools dir that git creates.
5. Start fpdb with:
   Code:

   pyfpdb/fpdb.pyw

6. If your config is named HUD_config.xml and is in ~/.fpdb, you don't need to worry about configs or databases, everthing should be fine.

This won't interfere with your install from the .deb. When you are through with this testing, you can just remove the free_poker_tools dir.

BTW: I'm playing FTP now on my Arch/xfce box right now and the HUD is fine. The last FTP update for me was 2 days ago.

Oh yeah, you will get an update the db message when you start, you can just ignore that for now.

I just got the Stars update and played 2 orbits of limit holdem to test (up 10BB ). The HUD was OK.

What OS are you using?
Are your OS and Stars both in English? (Other languages _should_ be OK, just asking.)
What game? Is it a special table like 20-50 BB or something?

Do you have a file on your system named:When fpdb is not running. (Use the search function to find on windows, it is in /tmp on Linux.) If so, delete that file and try again.

Nope no such file.

I also downloaded the version from your git repo and the HUD is still not working. However, I am getting a little bit of output from the terminal that may be of help:

It seems it is not recognizing the hand info from the hands it is importing. Also, I am getting the error about the database, but you said that was normal.

Ok I *think* I might have figured the problem out after thinking about the errors I was getting (unable to parse hand histories). I decided to look at the hand histories from the past and those from today (those since the HUD stopped working), and I noticed something interesting. In the past I kept the Full tilt time zone (on the full tilt client) set to the default which is Eastern time. Since I am in the Central timezone, I changed it earlier today to that. Now, I have noticed that the top line in the old hand history files are different when the timezone is set to eastern than they are when set to something else.

For instance:

Old hand history (when time was left to default):

New hand history, after I changed timezone:

Notice how the 2nd one has that much longer time and date format? Could this be throwing off fpdb's HH parser? I code in Python a little bit and I know how something minor like this can cause huge problems.

At any rate, ever since I reverted Full Tilt back to the default Eastern time, the HUD is working again and those parsing errors don't occur. So maybe I found a bug? Or maybe it is a coincidence. Who knows. If it stops working again, I will post back.

Erat - thank you for the response. I decided to reboot my comp and it worked fine after.

derp.

It's incredible how terrible I am with computer stuff. I have no idea what language you guys are speaking in here, ha.


By the way - can't thank you enough for developing this program. Once I move up to NL25 a payment is in order.

hey guys this is ktx49/kavilla ive posted in this thread for a while....anyways ive been running FPDB for several months now with only a few minor hiccups that we got sorted out pretty quickly.

however over the last week or so, ive started having a huge problem with the program(mostly the HUD)....the problem appears immediately when i launch FPDB and i never had it happen until this last week when it appeared suddenly. basically, my HUD is not working or appearing at all. i usually launch FPDB before i even open or run pokerstars....i open it up click auto import tab then press begin auto import...the HUD window pops up and everything appears OK.
however when i open up the tables and begin playing, the HUD stat windows never appear.
when i look at the main window, sometimes it appears that its importing the hands as i can see HH logs things like the HH number, stake, and things like 0 duplicates, 0 partials, etc yet as i said, the HUD doesnt work.

however if i close the small HUD stat window and press stop auto import, then start auto import again, it will work although its slow and doesnt immediately load the HUD windows like it used to.

whats the problem here? seems strange since it started randomly without any changes being made, atleast to my knowledge....the only thing i can think of that i may have changed is how long my hand histories are stored for but thats an option i changed in the pokerstars client not FPDB.

any help is appreciated and thanks again to all of those who have contributed to this wonderful program! really, thanks guys!

It must have something to do with all the recent updates on Stars. I've noticed the "occasional" drag when first processing the stats on the hud. Last night I was three hands (which all imported with no errors) into the table and still no stats. I stopped the auto import, restarted it, and it worked fine the rest of the session.

Doesn't do it all the time, but more often recently. I've made NO changes to fpdb during this time, only Stars has made changes, so...must be their changes having some affect on the program. Maybe fpdb just needs some Viagra.

Dog

Ditto

restart your comp

no need, just restart auto import/HUD but its kinda annoying and its also been randomly freezing up and not updating stats....so sometimes ill notice that this guys stats havent changed over 20 hands or something and ill have to kill the HUD or HUD window and restart auto import.

(v0.21-rc1).

My configuration: linux, 32bit, sqlite, pokerstars.it
(I play only NLHM, SnG and MTT)

Sometimes the HUD crashes (and the auto-import too,
I have to close the "HUD main window" and restart it).
I Can't figure out why yet

Now if you move the window the HUD follows...

Can't you post a little changelog with all updates
So it's easier to test them?

Does anyone from Euro/uk know if there is any chance FPDB could ever support Sky Poker Hand Histories?

I am not too worried about a HUD but would ideally like to track stats, rake, winnings.... I appreciate the sky poker HH format sucks for this but would be interested if this could be possible?
