NFL Score Module

I am playing around with this - but I’m also just barely qualified to write code!

I’m gutting out most the higher level functions like stats and voice support, trying to just get correct scores to display. Biggest problem so far is I can not find an easy to parse score feed. This NFL feed is perfect.

@in_a_days I’ve been having trouble finding an NBA feed as well, I’ll keep looking and let you know if I find anything

@chieftainSupreme

Found this today. It’s not nearly as elegant as the NFL xml file, but it should technically be parsable.

So it’s been over 15 years since I’ve done much coding. My background is in C++ and I ran a few Python tutorials when I first got my Pi.

I’m writing a parser for this NBA score feed and it just occurred to me that I don’t know how to integrate a python script into Magic Mirror. I’ve made some good progress, but is there any sense continuing? Will I be able to easily port this to JS or will Magic Mirror know what to do with the .py file, or am I going to need to start over?

@in_a_days check out this python shell module https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/blob/master/node_helper.js#L11

I’ve completed an ugly parser for this NBA data. I have a python program that stores and prints a list of home teams, away teams, scores, and event times. Can anybody help me with passing these variables into the existing NFL module framework?

[strawberry 3.141]

@in_a_days I suggest to move this into the development section and a new thread for nba

Help: you can run the python script in from inside the node_helper and read the output, then send the data to your module with a socket notification

Thank you again for the help. I’ve opened a new thread here:

Fixed issues reported (shows NFL undefined 2017)

Is anyone having a problem getting the Preseason 2018 to display? If I reboot my MM, it will say, Preseason 2018, but the final week of the 2017 regular season will display. Any suggestions?

I’m on vacation for a while, please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

Here’s where you do it :)

But looking at the code real quick it’s not set up for preseason …regular and playoffs only. The NFL only offers those two options for data.

Thanks cowboysdude!

If it isnt set up for Preseason, than that would make sense. Regular season, here I come!

This MMM-NFL module only shows the preseason from last year…

How do I get it to show the current week’s games and scores?

Or, better yet, How can I get it to show the pre-season, regular season, and playoff games for a single particular team or teams???

What I am wanting is a single page on my mirror to show all the above for 3 certain teams: Chiefs, Cowboys, & Broncos, side-by-side for one view of each team on the same page, so that my eldest son (Broncos), my son-in-law (Cowboys), and myself (Chiefs - of course!) can easily see the comparison between them.

[justjim1220]

BTW…

I’ve tried to place 3 iFrames on one page, one to show each schedule in a live updated format. But I cannot figure out how to get it to work. Is it even possible to use the same module coded in 3 different ways to show on the same page??? :thinking_face: :thinking_face: :thinking_face:

You’re welcome! Trust me it’s a great module!!!

[cowboysdude]

@justjim1220 It’s not setup to show any preseason games…on the Github page it shows config options and this is one of them:

`focus_on	 Display only matches with teams of this array e.g. ['NYG', 'DAL', 'NE'].`

This is how it’s used:

     `{ 
         module: 'MMM-NFL', 
         position: 'top_right', 
         config: { 
         focus_on:  ['NYG', 'DAL', 'NE']  //JUST an example to show ONLY those 3 teams
         } 
         }

[justjim1220]

@cowboysdude

Ok, here’s a screen shot of what it looks like…

As you can see… It says ‘NFL Pre-Season 2017’ in the header.

the actual list of games are from the final regular season week of 2017.

It doesn’t show, in the Readme regarding any modes to use in the config.

added the ‘focus_on’ in the config, nothing changed…

which by the way, is also not explained or covered in the Readme,

I’ve had this module for quite a while now, have never been informed of any changes.
But, I decided to trash it and restart it with a fresh install of the module…

I noticed several differences in the first one I had and the current one…

the files of the one I’ve had for a while…

the files of the one I downloaded and installed a little while ago…

this is the difference of the MMM-NFL.js files…

the latest one shows modes for Pre-Season, Regular-Season, & Post-Season…

If I use the modes, Pre & Post, I get a blank mirror, and this error in my terminal…

here’s what it looks like with the 'Regular-Season" mode and the ‘focus_on’ added in the config…

I also get a blank screen with the same error in my terminal when leaving out the mode and the focus_on.

So, now you can see why I have had so many problems with it!

[justjim1220]

After further research, I found that the dependencies needed to be manually installed.
this fixed the blank pages problem.

[cowboysdude]

focus_on has been there for over a year…so not sure what readme you’re looking at but on Github it is clearly in the readme and has been…

`   Config Options
    Option	Default	Description
    colored	false	Remove black/white filter of logos/helmets.
    helmets	false	Show helmets instead of logo.
    focus_on	false	Display only matches with teams of this array e.g. ['NYG', 'DAL'].
    format	'ddd h:mm'	In which format the date should be displayed. All Options
    reloadInterval	1800000 (30 mins)	How often should the data be fetched

As for pre season scores…it’s impossible. It uses one of two urls for the data and neither show pre season…they show reg or post season…

So A. Either you’ve changed something or B. you’re not using this module…

I know this module like it was my own… it doesn’t do Pre Season football. I’m looking at the raw data…the regular and post season scores are from 2017…
