Sports options - Jachin99 - 2018-03-01

I see a few different plugins for sports but I can't tell what's current or works really well. I don't want to watch sports on Kodi but I would like to consume sports related content such as scores fantasy leagues, interviews, commentary etc. What are my options, which is best, and why? Thanks

Well I wrote a metadata site called https://www.thesportsdb.com for exactly this kind of thing. A few Add-ons were written but unfortunately not maintained so much at the moment as @enen92 didn't have much time.

Just do a search for his Add-ons as the youtube and RSS features of them can get you exactly what you want.

For instance I used to look up my teams news, league status and youtube clips. I haven't looked at it in a while though as was too busy adding the actually sports metadata on the website which has advanced hugely in the last year or so in terms of content Smile

I know there is interest in your content. Its just a matter of finding stable apps to consume it. They're asking about your site on the Emby forums, and I'm in the middle of a Sports Strip reboot for Windows Media Center. See these

Thanks, posted on the emby forums to enourage it over there.

Here was my reply:

Thanks for the headsup about this thread, always willing to help if there is any motivation to build features from anyone Wink

In terms of naming and structure, I thought a lot about this already and the site should help a lot as it has a hierarchy of "leagues", "seasons" and "events"

A typical event filename structure can be like this:

Code:
<League>/<Season>/<League_Name>_<YYYYMMDD>_<Event_Name>.<ext>

And can be looked up via all sorts of API searches, such as:

Search for event by event name and season

Code:
https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchevents.php?e=Italian_Grand_Prix&s=2017

https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchevents.php?e=Arsenal_vs_Chelsea&s=1617

https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchevents.php?e=Vancouver_Canucks_@_Los_Angeles_Kings&s=1617

or

Search for event by full event name and date

Code:
https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchevents.php?e=Vancouver_Canucks_@_Los_Angeles_Kings&d=2017-09-16

or

Search for event by event file name

Code:
https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/searchfilename.php?e=Formula_1_2017-09-03_Italian_Grand_Prix

Luke from Emby is asking about something. "So it's basically a tv structure where leagues is equivalent to tv series and events are equivalent to episodes?" -Luke
