    Hello,

    Thanks for writing this program, it is awesome. Hopefully it can help me get the game I'm still hoping for. Quick question, I cant get the email function to work. I have tried both my work and home email addresses, and run the program for games that I know are available. The program lists the following:

    5:11:31 PM: Scanner -> Ticket status updated successfully.
    5:11:31 PM: Scanner -> Failure sending mail.
    5:11:31 PM: Scanner -> Email sent with ticketing updates.
    5:11:32 PM: Browser -> Initiating advanced action for XX

    I did not receive an email and have run several trials. It does say email sent but just before says "failure sending mail." Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    This could be due to two reasons:
    1. Your ISP is blocking smtp connections. Some ISPs do that when they want their users to use ISP's smtp server only. You can test this by going to command prompt (Start->run. Type cmd.exe then press enter key). Type 'telnet smtp.gmail.com 567' and press enter. If it's not able to connect it means your ISP is blocking connections to gmail's smtp server.
    2. Your antivirus sometimes blocks outgoing connections on specific ports as well. Try to allow outgoing connections on port 567 in your antivirus and see if it works.
    If it's the first case, you don't have a choice but to rely on the sound alert. Oh and the fact that it's saying 'Email sent successfully' is just a bug in the code. It is indeed failing to send email and so this success message should not be displayed.

    I havent seen this answered elsewhere:

    I have several matches set on auto-reserve. I just checked the system with a match already available and it does indeed take me directly to the fifa website with the built-in browser to buy the ticket.

    My question then is this:

    If I have several games on the list and they all become available at the same time, how does the scanner prioritise which match is reserved? Obviously I would prefer some over others.

    Actually it was answered before. In case multiple matches are available, the show-stadium/auto-reserve option will be activated for the FIRST available match in the list and scanning is stopped. So the order in which you have listed the matches matters! If you want to be able to auto-reserve tickets for multiple matches or multiple categories, you need to run multiple instances of the scanner. You can do this by either running the exe file multiple times or by just copying the scanner directory and running each exe file once. I prefer the latter cuz it allows you to maintain separate matches.xml file.

    Guys,

    I am getting too many PMs for scanner link. Please understand that the scanner is USELESS if the ticketing site is down! So even if you get the scanner, it will be of no use currently until fifa site starts working again.

    Guys,

    Please don't use the email option in the scanner cuz it won't work anymore. I didn't know there was a limit on daily quota in gmail to send emails. That quota got exceeded today due to too many outgoing emails so the email option wont work. Sorry about this. Didnt see this coming.

    Scan Buddy:

    Looking for a scan buddy in a different time zone - can only scan from work during 08h30 and 17h00 CAT so would like someone else to scan the other times while I scan for them during work times (well you know what I mean)- I see ALL the red dots have disappeared so there is some action on the ticketing website again...

    Is anyone facing 'script error' issue in the scanner when auto-reserving tickets?

    Those of you who are facing the script error issue or if they see a dialog box appearing with an 'ok' and 'cancel' button when scanner tries to go to autoreserve page, please download the scanner.exe from the following link and replace the one you have:

    http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tnu3z0nmryy

    If you have this issue and you dont use the new exe, the scanner won't auto-reserve tickets if they become available, not unless fifa fix this script error issue in their site.
