MMM-MyScoreboard

j.e.f.f

@lucallmon I’m not sure I can do the top 25, as I’m assuming that would change frequently, but I could certainly do divisions/conferences/etc. Would be a nice addition for all sports.

I’ll have an update coming soon for NCAAM. I’ll see what I can do about also adding this.

j.e.f.f

@lucallmon I’ve added the ability to specify groups in the config. These generally correspond to conferences and divisions, but they can be any arbitrary list of teams. I just need to test NCAAM a bit more, and I’ll be good to release it in a couple of days or so.

One question: For the the Top 25 teams in NCAAF or NCAAM, do these change throughout the season (i.e.: are they the top 25 teams in the standings to date?) or are they a ranking that is assigned before the season begins and that ranking stays that way for the duration of the season? If it is the latter scenario, then I’ll add Top 25 groups for both of these, as I don’t mind updating this once per year to reflect the new rankings. But if it is the former, then I won’t be adding these groups.

@j.e.f.f They change weekly

@onetwankyfive I’ll have to see if that’s available anywhere as a feed – future enhancement!

Version 2.1 released with support for NCAAM and specifying groups (divisions, conferences) in the config file instead of individual teams.

This release means MMM-MyScoreboard now covers all of the major North American team sports!

@j.e.f.f
Excellent! Love the support for college football groups. Now if only there was a way you could use the top 25 of the conference as a group. The group would continually change, but if only it could be automatic and update off of an ESPN RSS feed or something.

j.e.f.f

@sanj926 Yeah I’ll look into seeing how feasible this is to do.

j.e.f.f

@sanj926 Top 25 now works! Turns out the ranking was in in the feed all along. So if you specify "Top 25" in your groups array for either NCAAF or NCAAM, the games list will filter on teams in the top 25 rankings.

v2.1.1 released!

Great work. Thanks again for your hard work and dedication to this module. I hope you enjoy working on it as much as we enjoy using it.

j.e.f.f

@P-Bo726 Thanks! I certainly did enjoy it. I learned a lot!

@j.e.f.f
Does the NCAAM not support displaying the teams involved in the NCAA March madness bracket challenge?

j.e.f.f

@sanj926 to be honest I’m not sure. I just assumed that it would be the case as part of the feed I’m using.

I’m guessing from your note this is not the case… I’ll see if there’s something I can do to retrieve it.

j.e.f.f

@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!

j.e.f.f

@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?

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