@sanj926 It looks like ESPN groups March Madness differently than . The way my provider system is set up, I can only query for one group at a time. I’ll need to set up March Madness as if it were it’s own league. Stay tuned…

j.e.f.f

@sanj926 OK. Support for March Madness has been added. You configure it as if it were a separate league. I’ve also added a label parameter you can specify to change the name that is displayed in the league separator (if you’re using it). That way you could have it display something like “March Madness” instead of “NCAAM_MM”

Example:

{
  module: "MMM-MyScoreboard",
  position: "top_right",
  classes: "default everyone",
  header: "My Scoreboard",
  config: {
    showLeagueSeparators: true,
    colored: true,
    viewStyle: "mediumLogos",
    sports: [
      {
        league: "NCAAM"    //Division I
      },
      {
        league: "NCAAM_MM",    //March Madness
        label: "March Madness"
      }
    ]

  }
},

It’s kind of a hacky solution… I would have preferred to treat March Madness as if it were a subgroup, much like specifying a division, but I don’t think it’s possible to retrieve Division I and March Madness in the same API call. It will take a bit of rearchitecting my provider system to allow multiple calls for a single league. This will have to do for now.

@j.e.f.f Your module is great! I have been testing it to try to make some changes and notice that the JSON

https://www.sportsnet.ca/wp-content/uploads/scoreboard.json

doesn’t seem to be updating. I checked the dates and they are wrong. Is that a mistake of mine?

I was trying to make it work with Premier League games :)

@fabbr You’re working off of an old code base. The module was updated at version 2.0.4 to fix the feed URL for Sportsnet. Current version is 2.2.

@j.e.f.f Hey Jeff. I am sure I am doing something wrong, but I am reading it from the GitHub link: https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyScoreboard and on providers/SNET.json that is the link I saw.

But I am looking at ESPN and they have support for all the soccer leagues imaginable … I will look into that.

thank you very much for the great module!

@fabbr I see where the confusion is coming from. At the top of the file there is a comment block that explains the feed. That part still refers to the old URL. But if you take a look at line 106, you’ll see the new URL:

request({url: "http://www.sportsnet.ca/wp-content/files/scoreboard.json", method: "GET"}, ...

Hey @j.e.f.f I played with the Module and was able to implement data to be pulled for English Premier League and Brazilian League 1. I also changed how the module get the logos for those competitions (straight from ESPN API).

I would like to show it to you so you can double check and possibly implement it. What is the best way for me to share this code with you?

j.e.f.f

@fabbr maybe package it up in a ZIP file and share via Dropbox or Google drive?

fabbr

@j.e.f.f Here is the link. I only changed 2 files so no reason to include de other ones: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9awmiyvah10m242/MMM-ScoreBoard.zip?dl=0

Please give me some feedback as I am not as experienced programmer as you!

j.e.f.f

@fabbr Looks pretty good. Maybe submit a pull request and I’ll merge it into a branch for testing. Then if it looks like everything is OK after a few days, we can merge to master.

Can you also add the list of team short codes to README.md, and if there are any groups, they need to be added to MMM-MyScoreboard.js. See line 535 through the end of the file for examples.

Hands down THE best sports module… getting better all the time. Nice job!

fabbr

@j.e.f.f Added the Pull Request. double check because this was the first time I used GitHub with another person. haha

First off love the module… One issue I’m running into is the rolloverHours option.

Here is a sample of my config… Let me know if I’ve missed something or placed it improperly. Thanks in advance.

{
  module: "MMM-MyScoreboard",
  position: "bottom_right",
  classes: "default everyone",
  header: "Scoreboard",
  config: {
    rolloverHours: 10,
    showLeagueSeparators: true,
    colored: true,
    viewStyle: "mediumLogos",
    sports: [
      {
        league: "NHL",
        teams: ["DET", "VGK"],
      },
      {
        league: "NCAAF",
        teams: ["ND"]
      },
      {
        league: "NFL",
        teams: ["DAL"]
      },
      {
        league: "MLB",
        teams: ["DET"]
      },
    ]

  }
},

@lazarus your config looks good. This will continue to show yesterday’s game until 10:00 AM, after which time you’ll start to see today’s games.

There is one small wrinkle with this though. A number of the sports you have selected are provided by the Sportsnet feed. That feed only has yesterday’s games until 12:00 PM Eastern time. So if you are on Pacific time, for example, yesterday’s games will only be available until 9:00 AM, after which time they will disappear from the feed. The sports affected in your config are NHL, NBA, and MLB.

Does that explain your issue or is the problem
Something else?

j.e.f.f

@fabbr I pulled in your request to a new branch named add_more_soccer. I made some small tweaks to the code to normalize with the way I’ve handled other leagues. Namely, I’ve used BRAS (all uppercase) for the config for Brazilian League instead of Bras and the README has been updated with information on the new leagues.

One thing I’ve noticed is that there is nothing in the code the handle a game in progress in overtime. What does the ESPN feed report for overtime? e.g.: game.status.type.id (assuming 24) and game.status.period (assuming 3). And how should it be displayed? Is it “ET” for “Extra Time?” e.g.: 9' ET

Nice work so far!

@j.e.f.f Forgot to mention… in order to run the new code, execute git pull in the MMM-MyScoreboard directory, then git checkout add_more_soccer

Hi,

First of all, this module looks great! So thank you, @j.e.f.f for this.

Second: Is there a way i could add European soccer leagues? I see that @fabbr has added premier league. Is there a way you could upgrade this module so it would get the rest European soccer leagues? (Premier League,Spanish league, Champions League)

j.e.f.f

@gashion In fact, we are working on that as we speak. I have taken the changes that @fabbr has initiated and made them more generic so that adding more leagues should be easy. We’re testing it right now with EPL, Brazillian League 1, FIFA World Cup, Bundesliga, and Conmebol Libertadores.

If you want to try out the new code base, you can do so by checking out the branch add_more_soccer:

First install the module if you haven’t already
type git pull in the MMM-MyScoreboard module
type git checkout add_more_soccer

You can see the updated README here so that you can see what league names to use in your config.
https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyScoreboard/blob/add_more_soccer/README.md

Let me know if you see anything wrong

fabbr

@gashion Also, it would be helpful if you can list the leagues that you’re interested on this way we can start updating it with the most popular ones.

gashion

@j.e.f.f great to hear that u guys r on it! Thank you so much!! I will try it asap.

@fabbr I think biggest/most popular European leagues, like; Seria A, La Liga, Bundesliga, French Ligue 1, Premier League, Champions League, Europa League. These i think r the most popular.

Also, is it possible to get the League Standings?
