OSX [El Capitan] - idle 0 games

[Kahl84]

I have correctly configured settings.txt and I have steam client open as weel as steam community web page. If I run Idle master I get the following message:
./start
Finding games that have card drops remaining
No games have been blacklisted
Idle Master needs to idle 0 games
Successfully completed idling process

As you can see I have severa cards to drop

modify settings.txt 's sessionid & steamLogin with your own cookie data properties value.

And only need open "start" file to run idle-master.

Settings.txt is correctly configured, following the guide (PDF). I have tried to delete the cookie and log again in steam community but no luck

@raytrax
Wait really? I've been running

cd ~/Documents/idle_master_py-master/Releases/OS\ X/; chmod +x start; chmod +x steam-idle; ./start every single time lol

But yeah all of a sudden a couple days ago, I moved my idle_master_py-master folder from downloads to documents and the command no longer works, neither does opening start file.

Edit: it's working again, it's that my steamLogin cookie keeps changing and I have to update it. Also my sessionid no longer shows up in Chrome but an old one still works for me.

i keep getting this:

Finding games that have card drops remaining No games have been blacklisted Idle Master needs to idle 227 games Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 169, in <module> NameError: name 'games' is not defined

Check this Reddit post. At least I got it to work with the instructions there.

managed to get it working directly from python shell, but when i add sorting it freezes. oh well, maybe its just taking really long because i have about 2k games

Issued this "Idle Master needs to idle 0 games" problem on Linux too. But I found the solution. All you need is to select english on steam site in browser. steam-idle isn't always correct work with other languages.

@johngamer123456 Try this:

1. Update your settings.txt file and open Terminal
2. cd path_to_your_IdleMaster_folder
3. python start.py

PS. path_to_your_IdleMaster_folder — just drag-n-drop IM folder to the Terminal window
