GTECH G2 now saving histories as .db instead of xml

[Atheros23]

PlayNow Poker in Canada just got a big software update. It's on the GTECH G2 network and would previously record hand histories as xml files.
It looks now like it's saving them in a .db file, probably to support their mobile launch.

Is it possible for PokerTracker 4 to read the .db file?

Any help would be appreciated.

Some other GTECH skins already use a file like this so if it's not importing for you please zip/compress that file and send it to us in a Support Ticket.

I downloaded PT4 recently to try it against the new GTECH G2 Software released by Playnow.com, and realized that it cannot read the new db file used to store hand history.

What is the ETA for the release of a version that can read these files?

Please zip/compress that file and attach it to a Support Ticket so we can investigate. Thank you.

Submitted .db file as requested (Ticket#: 418623).

NOTE: I had to rename the file from .db to .txt because your site does not allow .db file extensions to be uploaded.

Please let me know if that worked.

Thanks

Thank you however that is why I asked you to zip/compress your .db file. I see the .txt file in your ticket but if you could also attach a compressed copy as well in case there is an issue with the original file due to the renaming.

I've submitted a ticket with the .db file in a zip folder. Hopeful there is a solution.

I updated the ticket. Submitting the compressed zip file.

Cheers!

any updates?

Any hand histories saved to these files will import into PT4. However, the new software does not save hand histories as you play - it only writes the history when you replay a hand afterwards. Once you've replayed a hand (or multiple hands) you can import the file using Get Hands From Disk.
