Inplay delay oscillating between 0 and 1 during in play

[EKK]

Hi,

I noticed something weird for the last few days on HorseRacing GBR -

example: 113802347 (20th April Fairy 16:40)

Inplay delay oscillating between 0 and 1 during in play

Anyone noticed the same thing? or has some record of this race (it happened to few other races swell).

Thanks

It was happening very noticeably yesterday (Sunday 20 April) afternoon, but I hadn't seen it at all on other days.

I don't know a lot about server clusters, but I suspect it may be something like one of the servers being out of sync with the others, or something to do with load balancing, so one server thinks the Race has gone InPlay while the others don't, and it may only be apparent to those connections that happen to land at one particular IP number, so only some users may be affected.

I may be totally wrong about the reasons, but it was definitely happening yesterday, and folk were complaining about it on the Horse Racing Forum, so I raised a ticket late yesterday p.m.

I noticed a few weeks ago too - but didn't have any recording of it at the time.

I guess it is the same kind of bug than the one where the total traded volume decreases (b/c it is getting some MarketPrices from the past).

Are you using the new APING as well?

Has anyone found a workaround? Anyway to skip the old MarketPrices? based on time? or something

Yep, I'm using API-NG, but most of the complaints on the HR Forum were from Gruss users (which I think uses API6.0 ... apologies if I'm wrong), that's why I think it's a server problem.

Also I've noticed this morning that my API-NG app is taking longer than usual to load today's races, so unless there's a fix this morning there could be big problems this afternoon with 9 UK/Irish Horse Race meetings

disaster ...

my code depends on race being in play

it get tricked by toggling in-play ...
delays 30 s between polls if not in play - 0.05 sec if in-play.
really bad

And betdelay varies accordingly ...

[betdynamics]

I raised it with Betfair yesterday. They said they could not see an issue.

I will raise it again today.

[bnl]

Good.
I think it is an issue.
I got plenty of logs, which i can share, if needed
Times in above excerp is in cet dst
/Björn

[betdynamics]

I have logs for affected football matches as well. Keep hold of the logs in case we need to supply them to BDP

[Blue Eye]

Just wanted to say that today I am experiencing same issue. For in play race my program keeps getting true/false values for inplay property and delay also keeps changing.

Few other parameters are also different and wrong. Actual Start Price is missing, but matched amounts seem to be the same....

Here is response from server for Hunt 21st Apr - 16:45 3m Hcap Chs race:

I had the same problem for 24 hours, but now it seems has been fixed (fortunately!).
