Commanders having Elite from Epic games store with http 400 error
When you try to link your accounts, you may receive the http error 400 about expired tokens. It's an issue on Frontier's end that I cannot solve on Inara. Fortunately, the solution is simple - please give it a few days and it will start to work later (probably when the access token on their cAPI server expires). If the error 400 appeared later and it worked before, try to reauthenticate as said in the error message (may be just a regular reauth forced by Frontier). Alternatively, you can try to use the workaround below. If even that won't work, it's the problem described above.
Please vote for the issue on the official bug tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/21258

Possible workaround: Try to connect the account while you are in the game. It may work.

Game data and imports not available for console commanders and PC players with Legacy game version
Inara supports only the Live game version (so PC Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey) since game update 14, thus all the game data on the site and the commander data imports work only for those game versions.

Hi Artie. There seems to be a faction called Pilots' Federation Local Branch which is appearing in Inara but not in the in-game faction list on the right menu.

I know this is an FDev thing related with the latest patch, but I'm not sure if they should be counted as a faction in the system's faction count.

At the moment their presence is making it a lot harder to figure out where a system expansion is likely to be to (something Inara used to do very well).

Thanks for the information! Apparently, the faction was renamed and so was created as a new minor faction in Inara database and bypassed my filter that way. Fixed.

Now that is fast work! I can confirm it is indeed fixed. Nice one.

GAME JOURNAL IMPORT 2019-04-13: DOWNLOAD FAILED
Not possible to obtain user journals from cAPI.
The Frontier's service is down or cAPI didn't return any relevant data [httpCode: 206, fetchCode: 0].
Please try to repeat the request later.
Error: There was not possible to update your commander data.

Mobandito: Does the repeated update solve the situation? HTTP code 206 is for an incomplete journal content provided by Frontier server and although I am doing some repeated request in such case, it seems to not be enough.
23 Apr 2019, 8:23pm
Update about the journal imports/known issue: In some rare cases, Frontier server may return corrupted journal data and thus the journal parsing will fail. This issue was reported to Frontier, meanwhile please try to repeat your update request after a few hours or the next day, it may help.

ArtieGame journal import improvements and 3.4 game update

[...]
  • Major improvements of Import Frontier Data feature - it's now possible to import game journals online, directly from Frontier's servers, so you don't need to upload them manually. And yes, it works for console players as well. Flight logs, mission logs, reputation states, materials, cargo, everything is now available for XBox/PS4 commanders, too! (Of course, after the Frontier's servers will go online.)
  • [...]


    Thank-you very much for this Artie! I use Inara when I'm planning engineering runs and determining what materials I need to collect or what I can trade. Having to input all the cargo data manually from Xbox was a chore but still worth it, this will save me a lot of time and boredom.

    Does importing journal on consoles update system states and Inf levels?
    23 Apr 2019, 8:55pm
    ArtieAdded Conflicts tab on minor faction pages and squadron faction overview, to provide more details about actual conflicts (should be properly populated by data after 3.4 game update).


    So enjoying this feature!

    I've been trying to update my CMDR profile after the update today, but every time I've tried I get the following message:

    Not possible to obtain user journals from cAPI.
    The Frontier's service is down or cAPI didn't return any relevant data
    [httpCode: 200, fetchCode: 0].
    Please try to repeat the request later.

    If it matters I play on the PS4.

    ToothedGreg43, Aunty Sledge:

    SirMichoDoes importing journal on consoles update system states and Inf levels?

    It is not at the moment, but it's something I would like to do. I want to see how it will be going at the current setup first.

    The server didn't provide any journal data, it's completely out of my control, but - does a repeated request made a few minutes later provide something, so the update is made? There may be some cases that server won't provide journal "on time", but may serve them later. I would like to double check this option, as it may be caused by the servers offline previously.

    Another option to try is to unlink your account in the Settings and try to set it anew. Yet another option is to try to get into the game first, to see if any actual entries are provided at least.

    Hello Artie,

    Would it be possible to have rich text editing for a ship description ?

    Some of my ships are very important to me, and I tend to have a long description retracing the history of said ships.
    Being able to add some formatting there would be nice :-)

    Regards,

    Does anyone else have problems updating the data?
    .....
    I see that there are some problems with it. When will the problem be patched?
    24 Apr 2019, 3:21pm
    When you are getting a download failed, httpCode: 206 error, please just to try to do the update again, it should work (for the journal at the problematic date) - it's caused by Frontier's server not providing the whole journal and although I have some measure for such cases, it still may require some tweaking. If it won't work, please let me know. For the parsing errors there should be hopefully some fix on Frontier's side tomorrow. I do not want to just ignore these errors at the moment, as it may skip many events (missing in the corrupted data) and thus your records will be incomplete.

    Hello, maybe some of them. Do you have some example what you would like to have there and how it looks currently?
