Last Line Selection

Hi Ted,

I know this release was not meant to be a release, but with TrackMaster's changes it forced your hand early. The only real problem I have with using it, is that I use the last line as my default paceline. So, I select the paceline setting, use last line, but it does not select the last line, usually it defaults to manual select, but sometimes seems to go with best of last 3. You might look at this for the real release, it's not critical, I go through line by line anyways, but it would be nice to be able to default to the last paceline on selection. Thanks, Dan

Dan, first - to clarify: it was TwinSpires not TrackMaster who forced my hand with some kind of subtle change to their API (back-end webpage) for retrieving today's Track List (and thus 'broke' RDSS V2.1.048-a). And to be fair, TS is not required to inform anyone of any changes they make to that API: while it is a PUBLICly accessible API, as far as I know they do not license it or support it to any particular users, sot hey can change it whenever they want.

That said, I am going to try to be more proactive to building in work-arounds and 'switching off' tote access in upcoming versions (i.e. failure of such 'outside' links should not crash the entire software).

Re automatic paceline selection: I just tested (again) the various Paceline Selection Strategies (PSS) and choosing Last Line as the PSS seems to work as well as it ever did (unless the last line is unusable). All the lines chosen are = 1. Could you please try that again by changing the PSS to Last Line and see if it works normally.

Ted

results problem

I cannot obtain results from the rx3 screen. I can only get them from the box on the entries screen.

For me RDSS 2.1 crashed as soon as the Kentucky Derby minutes to post became active, and I haven't been able to select CD since then (crashes each time).

We might need a switch in the software to manually turn on/off live odds.

Yes, still the case, and since some time. This is unchanged in the current emergency update.

Right after the last race prior to the Derby, I went back to review Derby choices. RDSS had quit, so I restarted it and clicked on CD. Program closed. Did this 5 times with same result. I can access any other track previously downloaded today, but not CD.

Went to download page and redownloaded with the box for do not duplicate marked. Got new download, but same thing. I can access all but the CD card.

I redownloaded the program and still cannot get the CD program to come up before the program crashes.

Noted. Try adding this line to the Configure.ini file, in the [General] section:

Tote_enabled=0

Save the Configure.ini file. Restart RDSS. See what happens. This turns off some elements of tote data retrieval though not all.

Difficult to test if that helps on this particular race, since the in-progress version I'm working with since 2.1.049.11 seems to work.

Ok. No particular advice, sorry.
