[INFO] Playgirlz Voter - Automated After School Voting and Support System

SwePlaygirl wrote:Exactly how many times you can vote with one MBC+ accounts I can't remember but I think it was 10 times but I might just have made that number up myself.

@SwePlaygirl, you can vote 3 times with 1 MBC+ account but the Playgirlz Voter really counts the amount of MBC+ accounts used instead of the actual amount of votes so the amount of times your Playgirlz Voter voted for Show Champion is really 3 times what it really shows.

SwePlaygirl wrote:When the voting count stops that is when our acocunts have run out. So our goal is to make all our accounts vote once a day.

@SwePlaygirl, to be more precise when the Playgirlz Voter says the task that does the Show Champion voting is sleeping for an hour instead of 5 seconds then we've used up all the MBC+ accounts.

SwePlaygirl wrote:When I got home the voter had not started a new day even when it was 1AM and during the day

@SwePlaygirl, do you mean 1:00am KST because the Playgirlz Voter uses KST so it's new day is at 12:00am KST.

SwePlaygirl wrote:when I was in school it only searched for Nave only 10 more times than it did about 8 hours ago when I left my house. This might just be because of the update but I did notice. Right now it does not search either but I guess that will take place once the voting is done?

@SwePlaygirl, sorry I've decided to turn off the NaverSearch while the Show Champion voting was going on because I didn't want people thinking that since The Playgirlz Voter has stopped voting on Show Champion and the NaverSearch is running then it means that all MBC+ accounts are used up. I've activated the NaverSearch again(a few minutes after all MBC+ accounts were used up) so it should be fine now.

SwePlaygirl wrote:I think it was two days ago that I sometimes had to stop the voter and start is again to make it realize that it needed to search.

@SwePlaygirl, thanks for letting me know that. I'm not sure whether that would be because I was messing with the settings or if there is a bug causing the Naver Search to sleep indefinitely.

SwePlaygirl wrote:The voting count for Show Champion is not working. I can tell that it did vote, at least the first hour but my voter does not count the amount of votes.

@SwePlaygirl, can you email me a copy of the full log.txt file and tell me what your IP address is(search for "what is my ip" in google to find out)

SwePlaygirl wrote:Right now it took ages for it to vote at all. It suddenly stopped and spent 30 minutes saying that it just reserved accounts and found them. Yet it did not open a window until just a few seconds ago to actually vote. It this because of how many users there are? That an account gets reserved and there is someone else who is at the exact time voring with that account.

@SwePlaygirl, that is a strange problem. I'll check it out in the log.txt file when you email it to me.

SwePlaygirl wrote:I hope everything I said made sense, sleep well I am pretty sure you will need it.

@SwePlaygirl haha, at this point I'm pretty sure that your grammar is better than mime and I come from an English speaking country. Thanks I did sleep well.

@BNani, can you email me(AdamFeng1000000@hotmail.com) a copy of the full log.txt file please and show me a screen shot of the environment variable like this,

BNani wrote:In my laptot: I did the Step 7 too just in case but this happens:...

@BNani, This part of the error message "add-on virtual_keyboard@kaspersky.com installed in winreg-app-global" seem to indicate that a plugin is interfering with Firefox being open but sometimes the Playgirlz Voter fails to load Firefox and a similar message appears still. I'll look more into it when you've emailed me the log.txt file.

BNani wrote:I hope you have time for this, sorry for so many questios.

@BNani, Haha I'm not worried about time. I'm worried that fans while fine these trouble shooting too troublesome and give up half way.

JungAh_Fan wrote:Well, I can say that I still have the same problem after performing step 7.

@JungAh_Fan, step 7 is for helping to figure out the problem not fix it. I'm still not sure what the problem is yet be the MBC+ site has said something about the problem and step 7 is used to try to read what the MBC+ site has said.

JungAh_Fan wrote:...and it's not voting for Show Champion as well.

@JungAh_Fan, that is a pretty big problem... can you email me a copy of you log.txt file please. LOL, my inbox is going to be full of log.txt files.

21 Playgirlz Voter users(cool we gain about 15 more ), 3209 MBC+ accounts and 7 hours of voting has lead to this,

Lizzy has no chance of placing first for this week(voting ends Sunday 11:59pm KST) because Yong Hwa has a 3 day head start but next week Tuesday when it starts all over again, Yong Hwa and CNBLUE fans are going to be seeing quite a fight from Playgirlz/Playboyz

Currently we only have 17 Playgirlz Voter users using the Playgirlz Voter at full capacity. When I help the other 4 Playgirlz Voter users with some technical issues we will gain another 16 MBC+ accounts per day for voting it may not sound like much but for me it is a lot because it took about a hand full(about 5) Playgirlz Voter user several months to reach to 3000+ MBC accounts. Now imagine what we can do with an extra 4 Playgirlz Voter users helping out Haha, I 'm usually just really excited just to see us gain 1 extra user but we got about 15 more.    Yay

Hey, great job Adam... finally I got around getting my computer ready for the PGV, and it's been good so far. Just one question: when/how does it make the youtube views count? Or you set this up at some point?

JungAh_Fan wrote:I sent to you the file again, just like you asked, Adam.

@JungAh_Fan, thanks I'll take a look at it later. Also I forgot to tell you and BNani that you have to stop and close the Playgirlz Voter before you run it again for step 7 to take effect.

JungAh_Fan wrote:But wait! I'm too lazy to undestand all those blue numbers: does that mean.... Lizzy is getting closer to score her first win?  

@JungAh_Fan, yes it does. Also I don't think the big grey number really have much value. I think what really matters and determines how much pre-vote points Lizzy gets are those blue numbers.

MinKook wrote:Hey, great job Adam

@MinKook, thanks

MinKook wrote:finally I got around getting my computer ready for the PGV, and it's been good so far

@MinKook 4 new Playgirlz Voter users have join since I last announce that there was 21 Playgirlz Voter users helping out. Unfortunately 1 out of those 4 seems to have trouble creating MBC+ accounts.

MinKook wrote:Just one question: when/how does it make the youtube views count? Or you set this up at some point?

I've deactivated the Playgirlz Voter task that views Youtube videos because I've deemed it ineffective. I think there is an effective method to automate the viewing of Youtube videos but that requires more testing and I don't have time right now to perform the tests. Also see "Youtube Video Viewing Test 1 - Preliminary Results" and "Youtube Video Viewing Test 2 - Preliminary Results" posts at https://afterschooldaze.forumotion.com/t407p315-info-playgirlz-voter-automated-after-school-voting-and-support-system for more info.

Thanks Adam, I'll do the youtube watching old school (using all the gadgets I have - phone, ipod, laptop, tablet, etc.) to get more views and I'll use the PGV for the voting...

Here's what I've gotten so far...

@MinKook, sound good

MinKook wrote:Here's what I've gotten so far...

@MinKook looks fantastic

@JungAh_Fan, @BNani Guys, I've found some very interesting and confusing information from the log.txt file JungAh_Fan gave me. JungAh_Fan's Playgirlz Voter displayed the Hangul message from MBC+ site properly and here is what it said "국내 거주인은 외국인 회원으로 가입하실 수 없습니다." which Google translated as "National tenant will not be able to join a foreign member ."...? Are you guys national tenant of South Korea(i.e. are you guys running the Playgirlz Voter from Korea)? I'll do some more digging to see what I can find out.

Woah!

Well in my computer the Playgirlz voter now create MBC accounts! But in my laptot nothing.

BNani wrote:Well in my computer the Playgirlz voter now create MBC accounts!

@BNani so now the MBC+ site doesn't think you live in South Korea anymore?...ok, this is confusing. At least we got those MBC+ accounts for today. I'll create a fix for the problem after a bit more investigation.

BNani wrote:...But in my laptot nothing.

It could be because your computer and laptop is on the same network. MBC+ website only allow 4 accounts to be created per day per IP address(external). If your computer and laptop is on the same network then they have the same external IP address because the external IP address is used to identify your network on the world wide web. So it's that the MBC+ web sites only allow 4 accounts to be create per LAN(local area network).

JungAh_Fan wrote:...and it's not voting for Show Champion as well

@JungAh_Fan, this is normal in your case. You stopped the Playgirlz Voter at 12:29:26 am KST because it kept failing to create those MBC+ accounts(haha actually if you let it fail to create MBC+ accounts 1 more time then your playgirlz Voter would have started to vote for Show Champion. The task was set to perform 4 times consecutively with a max of 3 attempts to create accounts each time, so you really only needed to wait for it to fail 12 times) and you turned it back on at 07:31:06 am KST. LOL and this by some sort of strange luck(bad luck) you've just missed out because the last of the MBC+ accounts in the database were use up at 07:26:03 am KST(about 5 mins late).

i just started use the program a few minutes ago but i think MBC+ is nothing runnig well here, take a look at this print screen and help me to understand whats happening pleeease!

I also just installed the program too! Let me know if everything is running ok!



It also says that I have run 5 Naver Searches

Thanks for letting me know. I also think you have realized that I meant 1AM KST but the thing I wrote after it. So there is not point in mentioning it, I will make a mental not of trying to remember KST next time.

PlayboyzAdam wrote: @SwePlaygirl, to be more precise when the Playgirlz Voter says the task that does the Show Champion voting is sleeping for an hour instead of 5 seconds then we've used up all the MBC+ accounts.

Sadly with my bug it is not happening anymore so I really hope you can figure it out.

PlayboyzAdam wrote: @SwePlaygirl, thanks for letting me know that. I'm not sure whether that would be because I was messing with the settings or if there is a bug causing the Naver Search to sleep indefinitely.

I hope I am not being messy with days. To clarify I can say that it was when you had implemented the Naver search and before Lizzy had made a comeback so maybe the 21st or 22nd. Things get a bit blurry with the time zones for me.

PlayboyzAdam wrote:@SwePlaygirl haha, at this point I'm pretty sure that your grammar is better than mime and I come from an English speaking country. Thanks I did sleep well.

I would not be so sure in trusting my skills!    I had two things to do, 1. the log and 2. the IP. My short term memory in the morning apparently had two slots instead of the standard 7! So you got two mails because I am forgetfull! So you have two mails and I hope they can help you. I put down so thoughts in the first one but you can ignore them because I think I got my answer from the thread. She was increasing slowly because the others had a 3 days advantage. And about my theory before that the voter is trying to reserve an account that is already used by another one that was just my guessing based of the log feed. Anyways the Naver search works and the voter is sleeping now so I guess it is all done.

In other news Lizzy was actually leading on MCountdown!  

Right now she is second but this is amazing! Thank you everyone for your hard work! Her leading in MCountdown is incredible because I would have expecetd we would to the worst when it comes to voting for that show. In reality is is The Show we are not good at but who cares! This is incredible!! Thank you everyone for making this happen and to all new voter users. I have not seen this thread so active every! It is epic and I hope Lizzy will gain a lot on the Show Champion voting once a new Korean day is here!

I never thought we could make all this progress! Most of the fandom finally started helping and if Lizzy wins an award for a music show it'll easier for her to win another then another i am so happy i can't believe it! If the fandom will be this supportive when After School comes back too we'll surely achieve lots of awards and stuff. Thanks to everyone that helped! And let's keep working!!

One like for this! That is what I would do too, and I would bring all my albums with me in a bag just in case I can get them signed

I did all the things to download the Playgirlz Voter, and when I tried to authorize it with twitter it failed. I got a message that said "failed to authorize the app" and now I don't know what to do

@_880720, that looks like the same problem some other fans are having. For some reason the MBC+ website is thinking the Playgirlz Voter is running from South Korean so it isn't letting the Playgirlz Voter create foreigner MBC+  accounts. I'll look more into the problem tomorrow.

@_880720,    everything is running perfectly find.

Babbitkpop wrote:It also says that I have run 5 Naver Searches

@Babbitkpop that's normal. The Playgirlz Voter does 5 Naver searches after every hour. I'm not sure whether to increase the amount of searches or not but I've left it the way it is for now because I haven't had the time to put more thought into it.

SwePlaygirl wrote:I had two things to do, 1. the log and 2. the IP. My short term memory in the morning apparently had two slots instead of the standard 7! So you got two mails because I am forgetfull! So you have two mails and I hope they can help you.

@SwePlaygirl, LOL, I haven't had time to read the emails yet. I'll get to them tomorrow.

SwePlaygirl wrote:And about my theory before that the voter is trying to reserve an account that is already used by another one that was just my guessing based of the log feed.

@SwePlaygir, the Playgirlz Voter only reserve accounts that haven't been used to voted 3 times for that dat yet and if it isn't reserved by another user...well that's how it is suppose to act anyway. Sorry, I think I've forgotten to answer when your first asked it.

SwePlaygirl wrote:In other news Lizzy was actually leading on MCountdown!

YAY!!!

SwePlaygirl wrote:Thank you everyone for making this happen and to all new voter users.

@SwePlaygirl, last time I check we had 44 Playgirlz Voter users helping out. Although some of those users could just be fans trying to get the Playgirlz Voter running on multiple computers but I can confirm that we have at least 25 real Playgirlz Voter users helping out.

@Don Pasqui, clear the browser's cache(e.g. cookies,  save password, everything) and try it again. If the fail to authorize message comes out then send me(AdamFeng1000000@hotmail.com) the log.txt file which can be found in the logs folder.



Hi guys, if you have the PlaygirlzVoter_beta_1.9.82_update.jar in the same folder together with the PlaygirlzVoter.jar file then continue reading, otherwise all is well

When I gave the instructions for updating to "Playgirlz Voter beta 1.9.82" I messed up. I was suppose to tell you, after downloading the PlaygirlzVoter_beta_1.9.82_update.jar file, rename it to PlaygirlzVoter.jar and then use it to replace the old PlaygirlzVoter.jar file. If you currently have the PlaygirlzVoter_beta_1.9.82_update.jar file with the old PlaygirlzVoter.jar file together in the same folder, let your Playgirlz Voter update to "beta 1.9.86" then close the program and delete the  PlaygirlzVoter_beta_1.9.82_update.jar file. The PlaygirlzVoter.jar file will be updated to the new Playgirlz Voter version.

Ok, but I did press the Start button and it did create accounts on MBC+ and MWave, 4 and 10 specifically so... I will try what you said

Hi, I'm not an After School fan nor Lizzi' fan, I'm a Boice (CNBLUE's fan)
First of all, I want to clarify I'm not here to make a fanwar, just to express myself
Also, I'm not an English speaker, so I want to apologize if I make any mistake

When this afternoon I saw Yonghwa was losing in M Countdown I couldn't believe it... He had like 70% of votes just last night!
I started to search how was that possible, and some people told me about Playgirlz using an app that helped them
I just didn't want to believe them, I thought that we all, (Boices, Playgirlz, Shawols...) were there to help our idols win, but always being respectful with the other fandoms...
But suddenly, someone gave me this link, and the more I read the more frustrated I felt
All our effort to help Yonghwa was taken away by people using an app...

I don't expect you guys stop using this metod, not even an apologize, just wanted to write this because I read some of your posts saying that no other fandom complain about this... Well... Here I am

Hope both Yonghwa and Lizzy can get an award to praise their effort, but I also hope that no one takes advantage by doing this...

Thanks

I think this will only make us look as cheaters. I am not the right person that could explain how the voter works so i'm sorry. I actually like Yong Hwan and CNBLUE as well! You know.. only few people use the app. It actually doesn't provide that much if i'm not wrong(i am sure it does work but i don't know by how much it could eventually increase our votings). Yesterday(believe it or not) Playgirlz gathered and voted, tweeted and searched for Lizzy all the day because we need Lizzy to win and to go well this time.
You actually couldn't know but we are trying a fandom unification since After School didn't made a comeback for so long we just tried showing support to Lizzy and to guarantee a comeback for a Pledis artist. We seriously gained many votes by voting like any other fan so don't think we only used the app. Most of fans don't use it and vote manualy etc. Please don't see it in a bad light. I really hope Yong Hwa to win and to go well with his song but i also want Lizzy to go well. Even if she doesn't win, we would like people to acknowledge her song and to make people anticipate After School's comeback.

Sorry to hear that about your fandom, hope everything goes well for After School.
But please, understand why do I see this as an unfair situation...

I don't know how many votes do you win by using this, but imagine that it's just 1 vote/hour. That means you will vote 8 times by just sleeping! It's just crazy

Good luck with that unification of your, truly

I don't know how many votes do you win by using this, but imagine that it's just 1 vote/hour. That means you will vote 8 times by just sleeping! It's just crazy

No i don't think that goes like that... actually we're not taking advance about this, the voter covers what everyone could do manually and does it automatically. It creates accounts and votes through the accounts. It actually has a number of accounts that it could create(if i'm not wrong) a day that can be re-used the next day. You can do that manually as well! You can make as many accounts as you want(and many fandoms do that so we're not the only ones) and vote (Adam can correct me if i'm wrong). Thank you for understanding our current situation.
