I think leaving a resident version of the app running all the time, that the screen saver could connect too and issue commands too would quickly solve your child process problem. The resident module would actually do the actions, the screen saver would merely connect to it and issue commands. None of the processes started by the resident module would then be killed when windows killed the screen saver processes.

Is there a way to make this work with Empire as well?

Can someone comment more about whether there are advantages to using this over the 2 free apps (which I personally don't use)?

Also, I'll just add my voice to the chorus that I would be a lot more interested in the app if it could be used at other sites, particularly Stars.

Not gonna happen

We believe our software is much easier to use than any of the other current options. It packages everything you need for datamining in one spot and has an easy to use interface. We also will be supplying support and updates whenever needed.

Once you get this going for Omaha HiLo, shoot me a pm

thanks

This is just my personal opinion, so take it for what you will. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I feel that $50 is not a lot to pay for a program that speeds things up. I know a lot of people on this site seem to hate to pay for stuff, but honestly, $50 is so little to pay, if the software saves me hours of time. I mean, we all know what our winrate is, so we should all be able to value some x hours saved by a program.

I agree fully. Plus Ive never gotten iWitness to work for an extended period of time. This program works exactly like party mine did. The only thing I prefer about iWitness is that you could set priority to the limits you want to mine since early morning hours may not have a full 12 tables of your prefered limit going. This program also uses significantly less resources than FPHG. I may have an outdated hand grabber though.

Couple of quick questions.

(1) I notice that the default seems to be set on 4 tables. I'm just curious whether there is any particular reason for that choice, such as the possibility that the program works better limiting it to 4 tables.

(2) Can I play at one table simultaneously with your program datamining from other tables? Or will any table that I open be added automatically to the list of tables that are being datamined?

1) The Default is set to 4 tables for no real reason. It works just as well for 1-12 tables. However, if you do not have remember me checked at the login screen you can only open 4 tables.

2) You cannot use idleminer while you are playing. It is designed to datamine while you are away from the computer.

It looks like there is alot of demand for it so we will make it work with empire. If all goes well should be done early next week.

Another Big Update for IdleMiner. The following features have been added:

Automatically Open Poker Tracker and Imoport Hands.
There is now an option that when checked will automatically open poker tracker and begin importing the hands into your database. This works for both the manual and screensaver modes.

Fixed Shutting Down When Coming Out of Screensaver
For real this time. Idle Miner should not shut down when you exit screensaver mode.

Reinstall Screensaver
There is now a button that will automatically reinstall the screensaver mode for you if it becomes uninstalled. Just click the button and the screensaver will be ready to go.

Position Windows
New option that when selected will make the windows look tidy when you come out of screensaver mode.

Also fixed various minor bugs. Thanks for all the suggestions and keep them coming. We are working on making it work with Empire.

Speed SNGs? (and other SNGs without unique names)

Can you have it mine particular tables? When i start it it opens the top 12 tables in the list.

I just downloaded idleminer off your webpage. After installing it -it forces an upgrade to a newer version which is not taking.

after downloading the upgrade idleminer keeps on asking me to upgrade over and over again and will not open.

If you are having this problem uninstall IdleMiner and then redownload and install it from the webpage.

Not sure if its supposed to start importing in PT but all it does for me is open PT. If thats all it does you should have it open the auto import window.

Also Id like to be able to send it to the tray.


EDIT: Just wanted to add that when I run this I am unable to minimize the party lobby. It keeps popping up and gets annoying when trying to do other things.

Can you send a log of a run where it doesn't start the auto import in PT up to dev@idleminer.com?

As for the party lobby, we're working on a solution for that the problem is that party doesn't update the lobby if it is minimized.

sent

We just uploaded a patch that should keep party poker minimized while IdleMiner is running.

If poker tracker is not starting the auto import for anyone still please let us know.

Did you get the log? If so was that what you wanted?

Yes we did. Thanks alot for sending it.

I have a small bug.

- I launch Idleminer
then the number of tables is correctly 12 as I set it up in a previous use
then I click start button
then IdleMiner will open only 4 tables

if after that:

- I click stop button
then I click start button
then IdleMiner will open correctly 12 tables

the consequence is that the screensaver service opens only 4 tables on my computer.

Forget my previous post, the bug have disappeared, it's working fine now.
