Current blind level countdown

Hello!
Is there any possibility to use PT4 to display the remaning time until the next blind level during fast tournaments on Pokerstars? Some kind of countdown?

I have been able to find only http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/114/pokertracker/current-blind-level-countdown-hud-706668/ which is for PT3...

Thanks a lot!

PT4 does not know when the blind levels are going to change, so there is no way for us to display something like this.

Hi, sorry for bringing this topic again, I just stumbled upon it and came with an idea - when PT reads the first hand of the tournament, the start time of the tourney (time of the first hand) is written there as well.
So what about creating a countdown timer based on that start time, known actual time and interval between blind levels? It will appear right after PT reads the first hand and finds out the start time...

However - is the HUD even capable of displaying a dynamic timer? The other possibility may be just displaying the static timer which will change after each hand.

Thanks a lot! ;)

PT4 doesn't know the time of the levels either unfortunately - that information isn't in the hand histories either.

That can't be a problem - most players play one type of tournament (turbo, hyper, nonturbo) so the time span of each blind level can be hardcoded there (for example if I am going to play pokerstars turbo SNGs, I will change the value to 5 minutes).
Or - you can find information about the buyin and rake in the HH (for example Pokerstars $3.16+$0.34 -> turbo -> 5 minutes)

It's more complicated to build than it sounds.
