As in the title EDSM.net is not seeing my ps4 console Elite profile.
I have linked with Frontier Aurthorise Service to link the API but it is now 24 hours since I opened the EDSM account and no info has synced from Elite.
I have deleted all past logs in EDSM and refreshed the API several times with no improvement.

Can anyone help, thanks.

Mine has never worked since the days it used the 'console updater' where you had to manually refresh it every jump you made.

That option seems to have gone now and while my Frontier CAPI is still linked from EDSM to Frontier (I just rechecked and relinked as a test for you) it's still massively out of date, has me in the wrong ship, wrong location and wrong stats.

Might be worth pinging the author on Twitter.

Have you tried ED Discovery? They support console accounts now and it's really very useful.

EDSM console login Will be automatic when you click on the PSN icon IF you have used ANY PlayStation sites with a login.
It does not select the account, its the last PSN account you used on that browser that will auto login....
If you have Multi accounts or share that computer the PSN cookie auto selects that last account to login under... If you don't play EDH on that account, there will be NO data to pull...

EDSM is not automatic update, The page must be left open all the time for the hole time you play and after still you have played so that the days it is importing is completed to the current date...

If your not going to be able to do that it will only get even more behind and it will become worth less as youll just get more an more behind in imports required...

Ahh so it still does use the console updater?

Explains why my data is totally defunct as I cannot be bothered with that.

I tend to just use inara these days which I think has a 15min delay. Not tried ED Discovery on PS.

Yea you have to use manual, Inara auto update is very restricted it does not update markets or EDDN from console, just itself...
It also has high failure rate even if you keep the site open it can fail the auto update after you leave...

Just to shed some light onto Inara auto-updates. Leaving the site open or not makes absolutely no difference - it runs on the backend, so it will make an update even when the player has his computer/console turned off. The access token expired error looks like it may be something on Frontier's end, if that happens more often than once a month (there is a re-auth required by them on a monthly basis). How often do you see such error?

Extra info..
Video version if you never get to put your email or password in then its the last PSN account used on the browser that will be logged in as the PSN Account... This happens on all sites that use PSN loggins... Not using PSN loggin and using Fdev store loggins loads PC accounts not consoles...
PC accounts dont support console updater on dashboard of EDSM..

The console updater on EDSM is not showing for me (usually under "Own Account"). Any tips?

It uses the same CAPI login as EDSM for console... So has the same issue with Xbox and PSN cookies auto login to wrong accounts...
It does update EDSM IF you can get the correct Xbox/PSN account to login...
It does very restricted upload to EDDN very limited way less than EDSM console updater on dashboard of EDSM does, So you dont update markets for example...
It updates every 10mins not 5 mins like EDSM... It does not read the journals like EDSM does, it just downloads and then passes them on to third parties..

Ok, thanks. So not much sense in using it.

Found the console updater on EDSM again, it is now under dashboard. But it is still kind of broken for me, the timer always runs into negative numbers and nothing seems to happen. Also, what I wonder about: will only information at the exact time of the tick get saved, or is everything that happend within these 5 minutes going to be uploaded? Sometimes I do quite a lot of jumps within 5 minutes.

- times on the counter only happened when browser did not assign enough power/cycles to background tasks scripts of that page...
Mobiles were use less due to power save modes...
It will import every log for the last 25 day OLDEST logs first, a section at a time, so If you do Heavy activities that day EDSM slows down as the logs get complicated...
Mining for example see the log import slow down to every sec of the report to near real time...

If you import the logs to todays exact time and min but do zero in game it will import the logs that are done in that 5 min window since the last 1...
But if you do to much it will get behind... just leave the page open and it will catch up..

Confirmed why journal limpet does not update markets or out fitting... the data is just not imported
Markets and out fitting have there own files... there not imported...
When EDSM updates EDDN these other files show as standalone updates to EDDN not as the "journals"
After digging though a Mess of text in the imported journals they do not have the data...

Ok, so in other words market data can only be updated by PC CMDRs?

With the EDSM update timer (5min): does it mean it catches only the system I am in when the tick occurs every 5min or also the system in between?

EDSM updates every ting since the last import... EDSM lists the last import.
So as stated with mining and other actions it slows down to real time so never catches up unless you stop playing and leave the browser open...
