Time Machine - second round of beta-testing
« on: 06 Nov 2013, 14:04 »
Welcome to the new thread for the beta-testers of Time Machine for MarketFeeder Pro.

For those who just learnt about this tool, it is an add-on for an existing program MarketFeeder Pro. Please read the introduction to Time Machine.

Time Machine has been reviewed and approved by the BetFair Developers Program technicians.

Make sure you have read about the new way of activating an application that connects to the BetFair API (which Time Machine is exactly).
After you’ve done all the reading (and taken in a cup of tea in between), please use this link to register for the free trial.

Watch a getting-started video tutorial of Time Machine.

It is highly recommended to create a separate settings profile for use in Time Machine. Don’t forget to turn the Time Machine mode on when you need it, and turn it off when you don’t.

So, if we are lucky enough you will have Time Machine up and running in a few minutes. If you encounter any glitches (or if we are unlucky and it stalls with a scary error message), please post here and don’t forget to attach screenshots or any relevant information which will help us improve the software.

Thank you in advance and fingers crossed!

Hi
Was not sure to post here or in the Beta Testing topic.

On the Login window I think it would be better not to have the Time Machine Mode ticked by default.

When purchasing markets, if I close the Shopping Cart window, it clears the Cart window and gives an error message. If I add another purchase to the Cart, all the purchases show OK, but closing the window errors again.

See screenshots

Hi
2 questions on the Shopping Cart:

I made a purchase and paid by PayPal over an hour ago, but don't have access to the markets. Refreshed the Events tree, restarted, expanded all nodes etc. but no purchased markets are showing. I will post an update if they arrive.

Greyhound and Horse Racing markets are available for purchase now. Is there a definitive list of markets / sports that will be available?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for letting me know about the error message - I've already spotted it myself and am going to update the program in a few hours. It was a glitch of the window drawing procedure.

As for your orders, we will approve them manually and look into the reasons why they were not processed automatically. I will post here as soon as we have your files generated.
Sorry about this inconvenience.

For now we will be offering just these two sports. We are in negotiation with BetFair as to the rest of sports.

Mark, your files should be ready by now, and I've identified and removed the reason why they were not generated.

By the way, many thanks for being the first person who reported on the Time Machine's behaviour, albeit the negative one.

Hi
Applying the Connection Monitor settings in the first screenshot generates the error shown in the second screenshot.

Hi
Some markets error while downloading. 7th November Wolv all purchased markets generate a similar error on download. See attached screenshot.

I don't know if this is any importance, but some downloaded markets on first use are displayed at the end of the timeline. A manual rewind resolves it and after that they are fine.

Mark, we're checking right now why the files cannot be downloaded, they will be there eventually!

Update: it seems some data files need revising, including some that you have purchased. Can I offer you a replacement in the form of other markets? You can choose from the event tree, add them to cart and click "Buy", then on the payment page press "Pay by PayPal", but do NOT make the actual payment. I will see your choice in our database and will make a replacement with existing data files.

You have two meetings to replace.

OK, thanks Oxa. I will order those two tomorrow. It is good we are sorting these glitches.

Looks great Oxa .. played around with a few markets, can't wait for more sports markets.

I see my license if valid until December ... will there be a subscription charge for Time Machine as well as paying for the markets??
