Downloading races
« on: 05 Nov 2019, 23:17 »
This only seems to occur when there are many races to download.

On a "normal" Saturday or carnival race day in Australia, there can be over 100 races. Yesterday (Melbourne Cup Day) for example, there were around 110 races. Through Market Locator, the only settings I have are to include races with 6 or more runners, and to exclude trotting races.

Through the main screen settings, the races are to be downloaded on start up (which is usually some time in the morning).

But the number of races downloaded can vary when there are many races listed for the day.

Yesterday, only 84 races downloaded initially on start up. I then went to Market Locator, search markets (1 day ahead), clicked search, and 91 downloaded (even though there were over 100 listed on Betfair).

The last 15 or so markets could not be downloaded, and I had to wait until later in the day to repeat the process, "Add to My Markets", untick "Clear My Markets first", and then I had the full listing.

My questions: Is there a limit on the number of markets that can be downloaded at once?

If so, can I change it though the main screen settings?

If not, how can I change it?

I have searched the main settings for a solution but to no avail, and I apologise if it is staring me in the face.

Thanks for your help as always,

The limit is 300 markets. Not your case.
Probably they were not on BetFair at the moment of the search yet?
Or there was more than 24 hours to the start time of them?

Thanks Tim.

None of those queries from you applied.

Last race downloaded was timed to start at around 4.30pm (Oz time), whereas last race scheduled on the day was about 8.00pm.

The time I downloaded was around 9.00am, and settings were set for 1 day ahead.

If I can, I'll send a screenshot with the time of download the next time it happens (probably next Saturday).

Regards,

bobh

OK, then we need some evidences (like screenshots) or market locator template file.
Thank you.
