I selected server sided scanning for Pokerstars but when I hit does nothing. Is the server not working yet or is there a setting I might have missed?

It's currently monitoring Fixed Limit 0.5/1 - 5/10,
and NL50 - NL1000.

The other stakes will be added later...

That explains it. When will the higher FL stakes be added?

Just bought some more hardware today.
Will need a couple of hours the set everything up,
but will most likely fall asleep before.

Expect it tomorrow :)

any chance on a quick rundown of what that hardware looks like? How many VM's can you fit on one server?

Sleep is severely overrated :D

Actually we don't need any VM's for the scanner.
We just need several PokerStars lobbies to watch,
and that's possible with different Windows useraccounts...

Right now the scanners are running on only one spare computer I have.
Bought another sample to test with,
and if it's looking reliable / powerfull enough we will get more of them...

I'd say "most likely yes",
but can't make any promise right now :)

Okay, number of scanner increased by a factor of 3 :)

Hold'em:
NL50++
and FL 0.5/1++
are covered (6-max / fullring / heads up)

Omaha + Omaha Hi Lo
0.25/0.50++
are covered (6max / fullring)

Thanks, but scanning FL 10/20+ does not work very well. Most of the time it shows me tables that don't exist in my lobby. I have both the scanner and the lobby filtered for the same criteria but I don't think that my settings are the problems. On all those tables that I can't find in the lobby there are always a lot of players I don't have any stats on while I have a high "known player %" for the limits I intend to scan. That is why I suspect the server mislabels some tables.

Thanks for the information.

Found the problem.

Expect a correct server-list within the next 2-3 hours...

Looks good, except now the status bar above the table list in the scanner completes ones, starts a second time and stops at about the middle.

Mr_Snood

Ignore the statusbar.
It can't predict 100% :)

How do I choose server or client scanning? Never mind found it in settings.

Please support NL25 6Max. Lots of fish and donkeys like me. :)

Doing a server scan of Stars 200NL fast + Depp tables returns only 15 tables. Doing a client scan returns 42 tables. Is this a temporary issue?

That was a bug. Should be fixed now.

Is server-side scanning supported for FTP ?

Not yet, but for the future.

Server site scanning for IPoker would be amazing. I find it takes so long to scan that site.

So in other words i can't use this on 10NL?

We will offer a server-side to all supported pokerrooms, too.

Currently not.

For NL10 you'd need to use the "client side" solution.
See "Settings->client side".

Thank you very much got it working with client side but still has some issues with opening tables and joining tables on stars. Also seems to only put tables i'm at on the list and one other table at any given time.

Edit: Got it working a little better now with the vista cleartype fix!

I don't seem to understand what the server-side does. When I'm scannig NL25 the server only has reads on a few people, why is that?

On FTP at NL50 the scanner hasn't read on anyone.

So do I have to provide hand histories my self even when scanning with the server-side?

Of course.

"Server-side" means the playerlist will be distributed through our server instead of your local poker client lobby.
