Quote updates fail

[peterzay]

Quotes from Yahoo Finance are failing for the second day.

Quotes from Globe & Mail and MSN.CA also fail, perhaps for more than 2 days.

An urgent fix is required. Quote updates are not optional to this kind of software.

See attached screenshots for Yahoo failure.

Note that this error occurred on Ubuntu 16.04.0 KMM PPA 4.8.0 but cannot be reported for package reasons.

On Ubuntu 17.10, the package is 4.8.0 so the bug could be reported.

The same will happen with any version of KMM under any distribution or OS. There is nothing KMM can do if Yahoo has decided to stop providing this data in this manner. Consider using one of the other quote sources KMM provides. If someone identified an alternate URL at Yahoo which works, it can be used by KMM, but probably not until version 5.0 is released.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jack Ostroff (ostroffjh)]

This should be fixed in recent 5.x versions (certainly 5.1.0, probably 5.0.8) but using the "Yahoo Finance" source, not just "Yahoo". I'm not certain about 4.8.x.

[peterzay (peterzay)]

There is no "Yahoo Finance" source in 5.0.8

No "Yahoo" either.
