el_paraguayo I love your addon I am not really into the mood of replicating stuff that is already awesome. My idea is just to make it look like sports are part of kodi, like tvshows and movies. This is a massive ammount of work and every skin is different. For obvious reasons I will only support 3 skins, I'll leave other skins for the devs of the skin or for others to make. That being said, even with the dialogs I will need help.
Live scores will be the last thing to implement and I don't even know how I'll do it nor what to scrape. Without having said it before, I was counting with you/your script for that part. It has much more leagues. Also,, I'm a crap with art...just been replicating skin stuff.
The most important thing now is getting high quality artwork in the db. That's why I'll share what is "finished" soon (leagues list) so people can realize how bad some images/clearart are.
So, do not stop developing your script. It is awesome and it was even mentioned on kodi's main page! The work I've been posting will still require loads of time to be something usefull.

I think we're all on the same page here. What I was trying to work out is how I can best help out with bringing sports data on to kodi. The speed that sportdb seems to be developing was freaking me out!
I am very committed to helping in any way I can (work permitting) so, for now, I'll carry on with my script as it is but I suspect, at some point, I'll need to turn it into a Live Scores Service which caters for the sports covered by the site. That's no small task but one I'm certainly happy to have a crack at.
let me know if there are any other ways I can help out.
I'll fork your module code as well.
ps I'd missed the mention on the main page - that's pretty awesome - feeling good now!!

The problem I'm seeing is that the people that are mainly contributing to it have little no experience with image editing/editing software. It would be could if you or others with the same level of skills can upload some nice clearart. The fanarts are pretty simple to get but the images requiring a transparent background are hard to make.
I'll share soon my plugin with the "main menu" (or the start of it) and the navigation from the main menu to leagues. Probably then some more people will contribute to it and improve the artwork. It refreshes as soon as you enter the section so pretty easy to check what looks good and what looks crappy (and update it "on the fly").
Cheers
Keep up the good work
