What an awesome little program! Great job yonis!
Excelent tool, very happy :-)
Left it running on my laptop at work and was able to check on progress using the iphone on the bus home, just refresh the page when you know a new race should have started.
But the most impressive thing for me was that when I got home, I took the ps3 out of server mode, collected the cr and exp, removed 2 drivers from the list and when it was put back into server mode, the app picked it up after a few minutes and races started again!
Later I will see what it does if the ps3 is turned off and on again or disconnected for a while.
Think I will just keep the pc on at work at all times if this is going to work, let it connect up whenever I enter server mode
;-)

I started to make one of these for myself in PHP, however it now seems rather pointless. Your method of using the yahoo javascript widgets (which I hadnt heard off) seems to be pretty neat.
I was actually able to find your .widget on google, some guy asking on a webdev forum if people could fix the above json bug posted the link.

Hi Yonis,
Looks great, but having a problem here where it is always reporting (like right now):
I'm not sure if this is related to the fact that I'm in Europe and not the US, or something else... is anyone else using an EU account with this?
Willing to test anything, have a little coding experience, so could edit & test if you have any ideas as to what might cause this!

I'm in the UK and I'm getting the same message. It was working fine earlier this morning though
Same here in Holland
This morning it worked perfectly ...Anything to do with the scheduled maintenance of GT5 on 25/02/2011 04:00-05:00 CET?

Well I guess it's possible but remote racing from a browser is still working fine. Besides the publicized maintenance doesn't start for 13 hours or so.

Interesting. My copy worked perfectly through the night.
Non-US PSN accounts should probably stop using the Widget for the moment as Sony may detect something is amiss.
I wrote the bot to use us.gran-turismo.com and forgot that Polyphony has set up subdomains for various countries. Judging by the maintenance complaints, the people experiencing the problem are outside of the US.
Would a brave non-US account holder volunteer their credentials for me over PM so I can take a look at the Remote Race API on their account? :-) I can't look at this now, but I can after 3 AM GMT.

Hey Yonis,
How about this - to remove the need for a "brave non-US account holder" I'll set up a second account tonight when I get home, and send you the details for testing.
Will that work ok?
Cheers, Dog
PS - I tried editing the code & replacing the "US.gran-turismo" with "EU.gran-turismo", and inserting the country "/ie/" for the "/us/" part. This would match the normal website that I access for remote racing, but I got an error about FetchAsync not having a URL. Am at work, so didn't have time to really test & see if there was a typo or what was going on.

Here's an idea!
- Register an account for hosting races.
- Add your real account as a friend.
- Post the account name in this thread and let people add your bot-account to their friends.
- Use the bot to race.
- You don't risk losing your real PSN account.
- You can now race with 6 drivers instead of just one.
- Other users can fill in the remaining 9 slots.
Hi,
Just had a couple of bobs doing endurance while I slept, put PS3 back in server mode when they were done and racing started again within 2 minutes from a widget that I left running at work, so no issue for me here (Norway).
Can see if there are any messages on PC when I get in to work again tonight.
