lol, do you guys fully understand what this program does?

How long should it take to get a password???

If more than a few hours, how do you request a new on to be sent???

It should be almost instant. If you don't get it within 5 minutes, send me an email (bziegler@radix.net), and include your email and username you'd like.

We have known problems with Hotmail.com, and possibly some other ISPs are just flat out blocking or email.

E-mail sent, awaiting password.

I downloaded and tried this. I guess I just don't get it. When I look at the people seated at the table most of them have a 0 for number of hands even though I may have hundreds of hands on them in my database.

I second this...somehow forgot to post this in my previous feature request post. Thanks for the reminder

My guess is that SS is connected to the wrong PT database. Double check the SS is connected to the same database that PT is. Or if you have multiple databases, use SS's "Configure Multiple Databases" dialog and add them all.

There are more instructions for this on the SS site for how to properly configure the database(s).

This has been added to the todo list, and should be doable for every site that we can scrape the chip stack. Party allows this, and possibly some others.

downloaded and successfully used ss yesterday.

used it for a time today, but a few hours in got an error message:


server error: database server error: isc error code:335544327

isc error message: invalid request handle.



tested connection to my pt sql database, said connection was good.

appreciate any help you could give.

Is there a way to import my Party Buddy list?
As I see it, it's default is to import PP notes. So everyone I ever took a note on, goes to the SS Buddy list. That's actually not what I want.
How can I only import my Party Buddies?

Hi Josh,

And do YOU realize that these guys are going to charge you 30$ every month? And for what? A list of table and players? Something that can be done locally in a few minutes. Because it's not the scanning that takes ressources and time, it's the database queries... Scanning is just reading text in the PartyPoker window, it's fast and easy...

And by the way, have you think about the fact that they are selling you something that don't belong to them? Table and player list are the properties of PartyPoker. I can't wait to see Party ban this software...
PTS support

saves me a bit of time?

seriously, it's a good program and all, but i can find good tables on my own if i needed to, and theres no other poker programs that i know of out there that are in this price range. And i dont like monthly payment things, i'd much rather just pay a larger one time fee.

edit: works now

Yes sorry, there was a server error. I rebooted the server and its working fine now. We are working on improving server stability and adding a backup.

Importing Party buddies is on our to-do list.

I am getting a "hash mismatch" error. All the databases of mine are working judging that the "test connection". Am i doing something wrong?

ptssupport,

While centrally serving the contents of the party lobby may get them in trouble (I hope it does not) - you are COMPLETELY wrong about the bottleneck here: it IS table scanning from the lobby. I am absolutely considering paying for SS if they scale the fee by the stakes so that low stakes fees work out to a few bucks a month, even though I'm a registered user of PokerTableScan . Do you see why?

It's not as if SS does a better job of grading the tables (PTS is more functional) - but everytime I try to scan/refresh, SS saves me OVER 7 MINUTES of time (even with heavy filtering of tables) during which my party client would be next to useless if I were using PTS. The database queries are faster and mostly irrelevant by comparison as they don't block Party. (SS also seems faster on database queries, but I can't be sure.)

If you allowed PTS to run on a second machine on the network (I don't know why you are against it - nobody sees anything wrong with this...it's not like Party has anything to say about what I do on my local network) so it wouldn't block the party client, then there'd be no need for SS, but right now they are doing it better. The only question is whether it'll justify the cost.

Does hitting refresh help? Or does it always say that?

The data packet that SS sends back to you is compressed and encrypted. We also send a hash value to check the integrity of the data. If even a single bit is wrong, then its impossible to unpack the data. The hash mismatch error is saying that some of the data got corrupted when sent to your machine.

If you get that error a lot, you either have a very bad internet connection, or possibly some virus or rootkit on your machine. It certainly wouldn't hurt to scan your machine for viruses.

Do you have access to any other computers you could test from? That could help determine if its your internet connection or computer.

EDIT: I'm also making a change server-side that might help. Try it again in 30 minutes to see if it helped you.

Well i am fairly possitive that my computer is virus and malware/spyware free cause i scan it frequently and i use many programs. My connection is DSL 384/128. Its not the fastest (thats for sure) but i doubt that speed its the problem. I cannot refresh cause the refressh button is never "lighted". Also i am always getting the hash mismatch error. Unfortunately i dont have access to another computer to test it. Is is possible that some packets are getting chopped off from my ISP provider? In my country (Greece) some packets that have to do with VoIP (Voice over Internet)programs are getting dropped. Any ideas?

Just to clear some things up -

We are not selling the lobby data. We are selling our software that allows your databases to connect with the lobby data. Just as pokertracker isnt selling hand histories, or PAHUD isnt selling player seat data.

All poker software relies on the poker site that the user is playing on. The value (and what we will be charging for) is in the software, not the table list.

Furthermore, the two biggest factors that need to be considered for a program of this nature are:
1) How recent the information is
2) How many tables you have to select from

At the moment, it would be literally impossible for a high level pro to get a recent list of their preferred tables over multiple sites. But the value of that ability would be extremely high. We are designing sixth sense to provide this service, but at the moment since we only provide one site, the full benefits are not yet seen.


As it is - This thread is about Sixth Sense, not PTS or any other program. Please leave all PTS related issues out of this thread (this is not directed to anyone specifically). I realize that our software would fall in the same category, but this thread is not the place for that discussion.

Sorry to be a hardass,
-Dan

Hmm, that could be the problem. I just put up the server fix, see if that helps you at all. If the refresh button remains grayed out, just restart SS.

Are you able to download ZIP files using your connection? That's the exact same thing we are doing with our server. If you are unable to download ZIP files (and actually unzip them to see there is no errors), then its a connection problem.

So don't buy it. Why can't you sit back and let others decide if this software is worth it to them without interjecting your opinion?

my "open table" button does not work. is it not functional yet? i've restarted SS and still no go.

I have not any problem downloading ZIP files before. In fact i have not any problem downloading before. I have just heard that some packets concerning VoIP are lost in my country (i have not experienced it first hand). Unfortunately i still get this error and restarting the program does not seem to help. In fact the refresh button is still greyed always. I would appreciate it if we could talk about it over PMs in order to keep this thread clean. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, its not exactly clear how that's supposed to work. You must have PartyPoker open, you must have the game type selected (e.g., $1/$2 NL), and finally you must have AutoHotKey installed (www.autohotkey.com). If all those are true then pressing that button should open up that table in PartyPoker.
