App works fine but each time I start it the export location reverts to C:\users\Documents

If you'd like this app translated into your language please comment below and join the project in OneSky.

Note that about half of the phrases are Federal, Empire, Combat, etc ranks. It's probably best to leave these untranslated, or to translate to the supported in-game language that speakers of your language are mostly likely to choose.

Can't read them, as the window is too small.

I'm playing Elite on my Win10 gaming rig, but have a Macbook Pro laptop next to me. Can I run this app on the Mac, to track my data from there, instead of from the gaming rig itself? Would be handy to be able to interact with the app and have it in full view, rather than having to multitask on the gaming rig.

I understand if it needs local game assets, but if it's simply using ED server APIs, then it seems it could run on a separate rig.

Installer seems not to work on Windows 10. It starts up but silently stays at a background task without any GUI. Using Windows' handling of compatibility problems did not help also.

the servers are dows for 2 days, i don't know if the adress of the api changed ...

e.g.:
LTT 9810 / Whitford Vision
Laedla / Fan Station (Industrial Outpost)

Need to find a way of detecting that this data is spurious.

I am using Release 1.84
Only options on

• Send Flight Log Data to EDSM
• Automatically make a log entry on entering a system

I went out to start exploring today. With Auto-log on the program seems to hang on every system entry. The last display is "Sending data to EDSM", still showing the previous system name.

If I disable Auto-log on system entry. I can manually update or use the hotkey and it works with no issues

I'm currently getting Error: Server is down. Everything was working fine before the Horizons launch today. Since Horizons has launch, I'v been receiving this error. The Elite: Dangerous servers are up, so I'm not sure which server it's talking about.

I'm docked in Bento at Snow Moon. EDMC states I'm not docked. It recognizes the system though.

Just upgraded and getting the above error message when attempting to update.

subsequent updates generate: 128662535: mount "None"!="None"

Hello CMDRs.

Love this application - really useful to help me contribute to the EDDN data network. I also use Thrudd's site and so use it to generate a .csv file when I arrive at a station.
In my settings I have EDSM set up to contribute star data, but if that fails for any reason, the .csv is not generated. I then have to wait for the 2 minute cool down, and then re-do the hot-key in order to get the .csv. That's if I notice before I launch... which often I don't.
I am unsure if the EDDN data is sent, but I know for certain that the .csv is not generated.
Is this a dependency issue in the order the code is executed, so that the .csv fails due to the EDSM failure? If so, can it be made independent so that I can still get the .csv file?
I would contribute to the development, but I've never done any coding, other than a bit of visual basic...
I'm using Windows 10 64 bit, fully patched and up to date, with the latest release of the EDMarketConnector.
I've tried clearing EDSM credentials and logging back in, and the only consistent fix is to untick the "Send flight log to EDSM" box.
Happy to provide more information if needed.
Cheers

Over 70% of the time I do an update, the status bar at the bottom will freeze part way through the EDDN send, normally in the mid 20's for a station with more than 50 commodities.

It seems that outfitting data is not synced if a station has no market.

No Problems at "LHS 3447 - Dalton Gateway" because it has both, "LHS 3447 - Trevithick Dock" only has a outfitting bay and no market.
Tested this with mEDI's Elite Tools and looked after "Pulse Laser - Gimballed - 1G"

Would it be possible to add a keyboard shortcut for the update button?
That way I could add it to my voice command and instead of having to Alt-Tab out and press update at every station.

Receiving an Error:Server is down message when trying to Update for the first time.

Hi, thanx for all the good works done here !

I've currently installed the latest version and on each station update i've got the error described in the title + a screenshot :
http://cl.ly/image/423W111Z3M0R

example: there's no prismatic shields into the data that arrive to eddn

After the last update there is this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Sebastian\Downloads\EDMarketConnector-master (1)\EDMarketConnector-master\EDMarketConnector.py", line 240, in getandsend
    eddn.export(data)

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'keys'

Just got some non-UTF8 in the Uploader-ID via EDDN. Any chance of filtering that out before transmitting?

There is a price that got sent to EDDN from NGUN/Thiele Orbital. Imperial Slaves are listed in the json but they are not listed in the in-game market. You need to check for invalid values - in this case the demandBracket is "" which is an invalid value you can filter on. All the price values are way off - probably lingering from some other time - but the demandBracket and stockBracket can be used to check if the item will show in the market and thus be worth counting on for data.

It would be useful to be able to export coriolis format for ship loadouts.

Thanks for the fast update, however I have been unable to test it.

Whenever I try to check the box to enable auto-log on enter system. The window will not close and save the setting. Hitting "Ok" or the "x" keep the window open. As soon as I uncheck it, it can close again. it will save any other setting just fine still

Hi, after yesterdays last ED's update the EDMarketConnector cannot update the market data anymore.
It reports "Server is down" although the game runs fine.

Does this app send:

station capability (e.g. Refuel, Rearm, Outfitting)?
details of modules in outfitters?
ships for sale in shipyards?

If the station does not exists in EDDN (I'm thinking all these ground bases), does EDDN accept the updates, or does something else have to be sent first?

IS all of this stored locally in a file as well as being sent? (I know the price data is).

Any plans for this? I assume it's possible, given that the companion app can display it?

I'm currently running EDMC on a laptop with a native 1366 x 768 screen resolution, and the EDMC app is almost too tall to be able to fit into that screen under Windows 10. Probably the same in all Windows versions, I expect. It will just squeeze in and can be dragged up to reach the very tippy-top of the OK button when making changes, but it's a pain in the neck to move around (even using keystrokes and tab-presses to reach hidden boxes).

It'd be really useful if the screen's layout could be auto-resized, or reflowed onto a two-column, wider dialog-window, if at all possible.

Certainly if the screen height gets any taller, it will become impossible to use with a mouse, so please bear this in mind!

Thanks for an otherwise excellent and helpful app. Much appreciated.

I've change my default display so now when I start EDMArketConnector it starts up on a 'virtual' screen and I cannot get it back to display on my monitor.

anyway to resolve this without reinstalling please? Registry setting, config file, ???

DAta is not sent to EDDN, there's a 'capacity' message instead.

Based on the interface messaging, it appears if I'm not docked at a station, then the app bails out from communicating my location. I want to log my history regardless of being at a station, so I can stay aware of cool (uninhabited) star systems in my log. Is my assessment correct that no station results in no log at all?

If that's the case, then can we get the update process to still run for the star map log, regardless of station?

Hey there! I've recently started using this to help update market info :), only have come across a problem!

Arrived at HIP12167 Tikhonravov Port, clicked update aaand : "Station doesn't have anything!" string pops up.

The station does appear on EDDB.io, has a commodity market and seems to have received it's last update 20 days ago!

Hoped you could help me clarify and maybe help me out on resolving this!

I'm trying to run it from the source on arch. I've installed the required packages and edited ./EDMarketConnector.py to use "python2" instead of "python" (python3), but when I run it, I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Searching the whole folder I don't see any shipyard module. Any ideas?

Hi,
EDMC 1.5.3.0 Windows shows no information about ranks in statistics (Trading, Combat, Exploring). It's a minor issue but issue non the less.

Keep up the great work. You rock. ;-)

The following non-utf8 was received via EDDN in the "Uploader" field: "Vanité". Can you avoid that?

Would it be possible, to make appliaction do automatic commodity data update in eddb when - for example - station name changes from the one where user was to new one where he just docked?

Commodities with special prices due to an ongoing Community Goal at the station are skipped. e.g. prices for some Metals at "Neville Horizons" due to this goal.

Should EDMC include these prices in its output?

• Pro: They're valid prices that people are interested in.
• Con: Once the Community Goal is complete the commodities may disappear from the station's listing so the inflated prices would only be removed by manual intervention in trading tools databases.

The prices are currently skipped because they hit the special handling put in place to fix Issue #2. The Companion API JSON for such commodities looks like this in E:D 1.3 and 1.4 :

      {
        "baseConsumptionQty": 36.8,

Starting with E:D 1.3.08 statistics are no longer reported in the data from the Companion API. So:

• The "Statistics" menu item just results in a message "No stats available?!"
• Selecting the "Cmdr statistics" output option causes EDMC to fail to produce output of any kind.

The counts of NPC and PVP kills in the Statistics menu option and Excel chart don't update. They appear frozen at the mid-June 2015 figures.

Hello and thanks you for the application. i'm french so please excuse my poor english.
i can't would like to use your application but i have an issue when i try to connecte the first time.
When it ask me the elite code i wrote it and nothing append except an "erreur identifiants invalides".
i tried many times and even restarted my computer but i couldn't find a solution.
do you have an idea ?

(On OSX) I've cloned the repo, installed Python 2.7 via brew, installed requests, updated activetcl, etc. When I attempt to run EDMarketConnector.py, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./EDMarketConnector.py", line 411, in <module>
    app = AppWindow(root)

    self.tkProcessKeyEvent_old = NSApplication.sharedApplication().methodForSelector_(sel)
AttributeError: No selector tkProcessKeyEvent:

Any suggestions?

The app was working fine until the EDDN 2 update whereupon it reported 'server is down' then would never start up again. I've updated again since and same result.

I tried running it from the command line and this is all it says:-

Not sure what is happening all of a sudden. I'm playing the regular 1.4.01 version. I'm docked at Rogers Hub in HIP 105391 but after 3 times and being there for at least 5 minutes, EDMarketConnector still reports that I'm not docked at any station when I try updating. It gets the correct system but doesn't seem all of a sudden to see that I'm actually docked.

UPDATE: just as I finish writing this, I do another try and this time, it correctly reported that I'm docked at Rogers Hub. I will keep an eye on it. Maybe just a temporary glitch.

...that way I could run the app on my laptop that I use for browsing eddb.io and similar sites as I fly.
