MMM-MyScoreboard

@nevint I think I may have discovered a way to get CFL scores without using CFL’s API… read: no api key required. Stay tuned!!

EDIT Spoke too soon. Not going to work. I thought I had found an open TSN data data feed that they use for the scoreboard, but it turns out it’s locked down. I had mistaken the fact that I was using the same browser the explore the feed as I was using to access tsn.ca, and therefore the browser session was authorized. The second I tried a separate browser, I got “Access Denied.”

Version 1.2 released. Now with NCAAF support!!

@j.e.f.f You are the best! I simply cannot thank you enough!

[j.e.f.f]

@Spankythemusical you’re quite welcome. Let me know if you see anything weird, and if possible note the approximate time on the game clock when it happened.

The even better news is that I can use the same feed for NCAA basketball. I’ll add that in the coming weeks as the season gets underway.

@j.e.f.f Nice job! It is working fine for me.

@nevint Update! I think I’ve found a feed that gives provides CFL scores without requiring an AI key. I’ve coded it, but I want to run it through its paces this weekend just to be sure everything works as expected. Stay tuned!

Just checking in on my favorite module. Are multiple instances still a possible future enhancement?

[j.e.f.f]

@P-Bo726 Still thinking about the right way to do it. It needs a complete rearchitecture in order to make it happen. And If I’m going to do that, then I also want to rearchitect how I handle the data providers… Instead of a one-to-one relationship between sport and feed, I’d like to be able to take advantage of feeds that can provide multiple sports – e.g.: Using just the ESPN and Sportsnet scoreboard feeds can provide the data for all of the sports I currently support, plus a few more that I haven’t yet integrated. Even better is that Sportsnet gives me all sports it supports at once… so it significantly cuts down on the data pulls.

So it’s a long way of saying yes it’s in in the plan, but it won’t happen overnight.

@j.e.f.f Looking forward to it! I still haven’t got the API key approved, it seems they are ignoring the requests these days.

@nevint @P-Bo726 Just to give you an update, I have a branch with multiple instances working. Still needs quite a bit of testing, but here’s a sneak peek:

This is three instances of the module running simultaneously, and taking advantage of using feeds that supply scores for multiple sports, including CFL without the API key.
