hi,
there appears to be a problem with in-play mode in MFP.
A tennis match where the score is 0-1 and shown as in-play by Betfair
is shown as 'idle' in MFP ????
In addition the point scores are being recorded in MFP
the match is almost finished as I type.
the game scores are once again being recorded whereas for a while
they had stopped, that's an aside issue.
any clues?

A clue maybe found in the start time clock which appears out of sync.
'idle' turned to 'in-play' when the countdown clock reached 10 mins as per monitoring in settings. However the match is now over. The total match had taken approx 15 mins according to the clock?

Hi
Does this problem happen in all tennis markets, or was it just the one.
If it was an isolated occurrence, it is more likely to be something like Betfair not being able to continuously offer the market in-play, loss of feed etc. Or it is possible the match was finished early. I had a quick look at the results for this morning, and there was a match which finished early due to a retirement.

Hi Mark,
I have had a Skype problem these past two days with the internet
signal being intermittent which in turn affected voice recording on
Skype and in addition has caused some buffering while watching a
You Tube video which normally never happens.
I am now beginning to conclude that the above problem as shown in
the subject title and another posting re "screen freezing" could both
be a result of this. I think I have now corrected the signal problem and
will continue monitoring.
Many thanks
