Release Elite Dangerous Market Connector (EDMC)

Rixxan

Rixxan
Elite Dangerous Market Connector ("EDMC") is a third-party application for use with Elite Dangerous. Its purpose is to facilitate supplying certain game data to, and in some cases retrieving it from, a number of websites and other tools.

To do this it utilizes the Journal Files written by the game when played on a PC. It also makes use of Frontier's Companion API ("Frontier's CAPI"), accessible once you've authorized this application.

It does not work with Console game accounts, and is no longer supported on Windows 7.

See the link above for more information about what it can do for you.

EDMC now has a new maintainer team! A huge thank you to @Athan for his service to the tool.

@Rixxan and @C1701D have taken over as maintainers. See Athan's old EDMC thread HERE

Release 5.9.1​

Pre-emptive upload to VirusTotal.

This release updates the build system in use for EDMC to a more feature-rich installer and updates the commodity information to be up-to-date for Update 16.

NOTE: This version hands over the installer to an EXE file for Windows instead of an MSI. This does not change any functionality or plugin capability of EDMC. You may need to manually close EDMC during the update process if updating from version 5.9.0 or earlier.

What's Changed​

  • Removed the old WiX Build System
  • Handed over the Build system to Inno Setup
  • Broke apart the Build and Installer scripts for ease of development
  • Updated FDevIDs to latest version
  • Updated coriolis-data to latest version
  • Updated some internal documentation.

Um - just logged into game and luanched EDMC - got prompted to update - and now my two plugins have stopped working? Anyone else seeing this. Both Hutton and Canonn plugins no longer work. If I look in the plugins folder it shows empty, but if you hit "open" and get the file explorer window both the HuttonHelper and the EDMC-Canonn-7.3.1 folders (and contents) are there. This was working prior to tonight. Is there something else you need to do now for plugins?

Thanks

Hmm. That's weird. I'm able to replicate it and will look into this. None of our changes should have been breaking, but I can't rule it out for sure. Until then you can revert to 5.9.0 for those plugins. I'll try and have a patch out by as soon as possible.

E: Update, it was our code. Time to figure out what I did wrong. Sorry... Look for 5.9.3 tonight.

Just some quick feedback. I started up my laptop and EDMC said there was an update. As part of the process it said it needed to uninstall the existing EDMC. Afterwards, all my plugins have disappeared - the plugins folder is empty. Also, the input field where you enter the plugins folder name is mis-placed - the left portion of it is hidden behind the "Plugins folder:" UI label.

I am fortunate in that I have a second laptop with Elite and EDMC, so I can restore my plugins from there. Seems my settings are otherwise ok.

Edit: Updated the second laptop and everything was good - the plugins remained.

I am having trouble since the last update. EDMC continually opens Frontier Authentication tabs on my browser. When I click the 'approve' button, nothing happens. If I try to close EDMC it reopens itself and opens another Frontier Auth tab. I have tried deauthorising EDMC in my account but this only results in an "unknown error" page when attempting to log in, and the issue persists. I have tried uninstalling and re-installed using the newest version. Any ideas?

That's weird behavior. I'll look into it and see if I can replicate!

Hey there! Try some of the steps listed here:

github.com

Troubleshooting

Downloads commodity market and other station data from the game Elite: Dangerous for use with all popular online and offline trading tools. - EDCD/EDMarketConnector
github.com github.com

I have seen lots of people have success with the EDMarketConnector - localserver-auth.bat option.

If none of those work let me know!

The .bat file worked, thanks! I don't think I've used a .bat file since about 1994 😅

Same here, over and over again, it goes into an authorisation loop. The EDMC panel shows "Logging in..." below the Update button. It has opened the Frontier Authentication login tab in my browser, I log in there, get this over and over again an the mouse cursor keeps flashing into a spinning blue circle.

No idea what a .bat file is and nothing to say what it is on that web page. How do you use it?
