NHL Module

chieftainSupreme

@strawberry-3-141 how difficult would it be to adapt your NHL module for an NBA module? Just a matter of changing any NHL references to NBA (teams, states, etc.) and calling the ESPN NBA API?

@chieftainSupreme if there is a free api, you would need some time to adjust the module, but it shouldn’t be difficult

Hi all,

i installed the original version of the NHL module and it works great, i see there have been updates…Can anyone tell me how to install those updates now?

Sorry I am a noobie who made this mirror for my brother, it’s almost time to give it to him so I want him to have the most up to date modules…

@Officeglen
Open a terminal, change into the NHL module folder and type git pull to receive the update for this module

chieftainSupreme

@strawberry-3.141 i’m gonna take a shot at it

Officeglen

@yawns thanks will give it a whirl tonight

chieftainSupreme

@strawberry-3.141 turns out ESPN killed off their public API keys and I’m having a hard time finding a free nba API. Any chance you know where to find one?

@Officeglen after my lectures today, I could help to debug this via teamviewer and fix it in time for your brothers birthday

@bbry do you get any errors in the terminal or electron console?

@Officeglen I made a possible fix for the error we couldn’t reproduce. I’m assuming that this was due to an unexpected/unhandled behaviour of the api.

@chieftainSupreme I was looking for a free api a couple of weeks ago, but couldn’t find one.

@strawberry-3.141 I got it working now. I removed the module from config.js, npm install(already was installed) in ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NHL, then added the module.

@Officeglen Mine also does this. I’ve found that (at least in my case) its related to my internet connectivity. If I have MM loading up multiple modules that require the internet to update, while running my PC, tablet, cell phone, ps4 etc, that I get the infinite loading message. Can’t say its the same issue for yours, but Id guess that the module is loaded last, and times out therefore getting stuck on the ‘loading’ part. It hasn’t happened to me in quite some time, but my solution was to turn off a few devices, and to start the MM during off hours of NHL games. Now if I leave my MM on the module works just fine with updating scores and such

@SexyTrogg when your failure is related to the internet connection, then loading shouldn’t be there forever, but should stop on the next reloadinterval, which is 30 minutes by default

@strawberry-3.141 Makes sense to me. I am not sure then what has changed to make that loading message leave.

The focus_on option appears to have a bug. When enabled the module doesn’t recognize the NHL season anymore, it shows up as “NHL UNDEFINED UNDEFINED” instead of Regular Season or Pre-Season.

My config is as follows:

            {
                    module: 'MMM-NHL',
                    position: 'top_left',
                            config: {
                                    colored: false,
                                    reloadInterval: 900000,
                                    focus_on: ['PHI'],
                                    }
            },

Request: Could there be a way to maybe show a few days worth of past games, when following just one team and seeing one game it would be nice to have an option to show more on screen.

@WayneStain are you running the newest version? the undefined for the season display should be fixed. it will display all matches of the team that the API returns

WayneStain

@strawberry-3.141

I am running the newest version. Oddly enough just letting it run for a few days and it is now showing the season properly, and I have two “focus_on” games showing, one from yesterday and an upcoming game tomorrow. Before it was just showing a single game that was already completed.

Thank you for this. Everything is working perfectly except for my time, which is three hours off. How would one go about changing time zones? The time on my clock module is correct to my location.
