Inara updates, bug reports, requests

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.

Can you confirm that the verification process under the settings menu is sufficient to have your Inara profile updated from your ED journals and that the Inara Api is only required should you wish to associate it with the third party tools listed in the appropriate documentation?

Yeah, non-dockable stations are a little bit problematic. I have partially prepared some internal changes to gather (at least) their names from the journals, but it's not live yet as it needs some further work and testing (with a respect to performance). So for now, manual inputs only (or when they get contested during the minor faction conflicts).

It depends, if did you connect your account through the Settings menu, then you need to click the "Update" button offered after the end of the process, otherwise your accounts will be just linked, but not updated (as an option for people that just want to have their in-game names verified, but prefer to update their profiles another way). If connected through the "Import Frontier data", it automatically makes the update and turn the auto-updates on. If the auto-update seems to not be working, just click the "Import Frontier data" on your commander page, to be sure.

Hello, it's exactly as Kaizimm wrote - the list is based on their origin, so nearest player factions "home" systems. There may be possible to have a list based on their presence anywhere, but I am not sure how expensive it will be (performance-wise), so it needs tests first.

Hi,
Yeah I can see that now. Thanks for the response.

Just an early notice - I will be doing some changes on Inara this weekend (probably starting from Saturday, 11am UTC) and it may take several hours this time, so my apologies for Inara being unavailable during that. I am aware it's not the optimal time and many of you will be playing Elite at that moment, but after an evaluation it's the only time window I can use.

Thanks for the heads up, Artie, and thanks also for all the work you do. It is deeply appreciated.

The hamsters can take a break... Thanks for the warning and for the great job, Artie.

So, Inara is finally back up. Just a few notes:
  • Inara API will be back shortly, I want to be sure everything is running smooth first. Same for the journal auto-updates
  • If you were using signature image (for FD forum or so), please enable/generate it anew and use a new link to the image

If do you will notice any new issues, please let me know.

Thank for all your work Artie.

YAY!

Hi Artie!
Whatever you did, it accelerated the page dramaticly. Thanks.
How long do you think will it last, till the systemdatas will be refreshed?
i just jumped to some systems an in eddb (eddn) the data for the systems is refreshed, but not here.
For example BPM 16204 or Nayanezgani.
Maybe an database hickup, or it takes time to reesablish the connection to eddn?

Thanks for your great work

I have moved Inara to another server, to speed things up. But, as it seems, everybody is now trying to get in, so it may have an exactly opposite effect and Inara may be slower than before temporarily.

The EDDN updates should be running now, but I may be disabling it from time to time, as it seems there is some performance issue with that. I have also temporarily removed Market page from there, for similar problems.

Is the "Market" tab supposed to be gone from the top menu level?

Yes, temporarily. For getting the best commodity prices please use this.
