Kodi Community Forum

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

Links
script.screensaver.football.panel - Football/Soccer livescores and news
script.matchcenter - Football/Soccer livescores and news
script.module.thesportsdb - thesportsdb.com Kodi module (used to build other Add-ons)
metadata.thesportsdb.com - A local media sports scraper for Kodi (imports as TVShows)
script.sportscenter - A Kodi browser for thesportsdb website and its metadta (currently broken as it relied on older versions of Kodi's default theme)

Other options
service.bbclivefootballscores - Live football scores from the BBC website
plugin.program.fixtures - Sports fixtures from getyourfixtures.com

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/[email protected]_Los_Angeles_Kings&s=1617

or

Search for event by full event name and date

Code:

https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/[email protected]_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
