Hi, I have suggestions for NetBridgeVu, BridgeVu and Handviewer. NBV and BV are very old program and have not been updated for many years by BBO, 9-11 years. But they are still working and used (with some restrictions) under Windows 10/11 by many users. They are the only alternative for users that don’t have the possibility to use HandViewer, which requires LIN files packed in a XML packages and stored on a server to get access to file. As the update is frozen for NBV and BV, it makes it impossible to fix issues and add new functionality!! I have three alternative proposals to improve the situation: 1) BBO start up to support update of NBV and BV. 2) BBO release the source code for NBV and BV with an Open-Source license, which makes is possible for programmers to fix issues and add new functionality. Maybe this also will give input for further improvement of Handviewer 3) BBO design a stand-alone version of HandViewer. Probably the best solution. Then BridgeVu and NetBridgeVu can be buried forever. With hope for an answer and some action from BBO in this matter. Best Regards Bjorn Hjalmarsson Owner Cmputerbridge.se and TheBridgeChannel.se

Real bees?

The data for the match Italy vs Netherlands is not complete, the last 10 deals are missing, can this be fixed?

Ok, but it seems that the issue has been improved a bit. In the match between Sweden and France, some of the alertbids are explained... Have they been added after the recording? On one board with many alterts the operator wrotes, "the only alert I heard was OLA" and that is one players first name :-)

Why can't the operator get access to the explanations on paper (should be in english) and add it to the play data?

Traian Chira must upload the recordings to YouTube to get access. At last WC he wrote that it will take about 2-3 month to upload all recording! Still he has not done it! Why I bother was that I was interested in a QF that was not complete and still don't are! I don't think he is handling this so well. Here is the link to the WC file: https://livebridge.net/bridgecare/?fbclid=IwAR0V6yKHv4rxbNhRwB8_xgUpAzyYUqslMhB73b1beSBehmxtz88FlZf6i48 You can see COMING SOON for many recordings. Now it's about 2 months since WC!

OK, do you have a link to the videos?

I have noticed that the alertbid is normaly empty on the VuGraph, only a ! is shown!? Why is it so? What is the purpose with alertbid if they are not explained? Bjorn

Hi, There are some boards missing in Soloway 2021 - F1 - Q1, both rooms. Can you fix this, whoever it is? Regards Bjorn

Hi, Just recently Segment 5 in the Swedish Cup Final 2021 became available, but some boards are missing. Similar happened with Segment 1. I guess that there will be a second part available soon with the missing boards? Regards Bjorn Hjalmarsson

Hi, When I view the LIN file for "2021-11-13 Swedish Cup Final 1", I found that board 4-14 is missing and in 2,3 and 15,16 are one table missing. Could this be corrected? Regards Bjorn Hjalmarsson

Is there any list of updates for each version from no.1 available?

Hi, Anyone now the difference between the latest version of stand alone GIB (6.02) and current BBO implementation? I got this answer from Matt Ginsberg one ago when I asked him for the differences: "They fixed some bugs (I think), and also changed the bidding a bit. GIB will occasionally use Stayman without a 4-card major, in an attempt to scramble out of a bad 1N contract. They hated that and changed it." Has anything else (major) been done since 6.02? /Bjorn

Hi, In the Scoreboard-view "Open Room" and "Closed Room" is used as name of the rooms. In the play view the rooms are called "Other Room". Can you update so that Open Room and Closed Room is used instead of Other room in the play view also, for clarity. Thank's! Bjorn

I revisit this issue again. I am very unsatisfied with BBO's behavior in this matter! I tried to get an answer on this question, about making BridgeVu and NetBridgeVu open source to make it possible to make changes for new demands and adding new features.If there is a commercial reason or any other reason, please explain it. I can accept that, but no answer is not what you expect from a company as BBO! Regards Bjorn (still waiting for an answer BBO....)
