Req Sports scraper
Question 
Does this provide scraping for NHL as well? I have an NHL Stanley Cup game and have no idea how to name it so that it appears in my TV section of Kodi...

Thanks!!

Yes NHL is supported. It needs someone to add the scores to the website though regularly.

You can name your files as the same as the event name like this

http://www.thesportsdb.com/event/484628

So the file name could be: Chicago Blackhawks v Anaheim Ducks (1415 Season).avi

I am having trouble configuring my media folder. The only option being given to me is "Program add-ons" (ADDONS://SOURCES/EXECUTABLE/

Any idea am i missing a plugin?

Schedule and Teams should be manually editable as well. I would really like to help in creating a complete season overview for all motorsport categories, but I can not edit enough things. Will this be possible?

I would definitely love to have boxing.

There is a great database of boxing info at http://boxrec.com

Zag, any chance you can add teams and events to the Blancpain and DTM? I've fallen off the wagon recently, but had completed a skeleton of all race series teams; still plenty to go of course!

Sure thing, will look at it later today.

Glad there's still interest Wink I'll add whatever people want.

The database is filling up nicely now and should be a great base for any sports add-ons of the future.

It would be useful if you could list the teams here with what country the team is based in.

Since someone is now developing a Plex scraper, they have requested a some features.

Hopefully this will benefit Kodi as well.

- Added poster support for leagues

example - http://www.thesportsdb.com/league/4328

It is the same for me too.

E: Ahh, added the folder as a source to the Programs folder, my media folder is added now. Cant scrape though.

Now plex has a scraper(and I assume kodi will in the future at some point), its more important to get the event names correct and standardized.

Does anyone have an opinion on this?

Someone has suggested this format for a filename that could be scraped

NBA - 2015.10.03 - Orlando Magic v Charlotte Hornets.mkv

So thats :
Code:
{League} - YYYY-MM-DD - {Team 1} 'v' {Team 2}

EDIT: I'm a bit worried that different countries will get confused with the date format, anyone got some comments?

EDIT2: Do we need the season in there somewhere?

EDIT3: Searched some predbs to check names, seems this is the standard

EPL.2015.10.04.Arsenal.vs.Manchester.United.SWEDiSH.720p.HDTV.x264-Groupname
UCL.2015.09.15.Group.D.Manchester.City.vs.Juventus.720p.HDTV.x264-Groupname

Zag,

I think that naming works really well for all sports where there are two teams competing in each event/match. The yyyy-mm-dd format for the date is the best option in my opinion, since it does away with any regional differences in date formats.

My concern is for other sport types, where you have either multiple individuals (like golf) or multiple teams (like Formula1) competing in each event/match. What would the naming be like for those types? What does the Plex scraper expect in those cases?

Regards,

Bart

Updates

- Event Name 'strEvent' is now:
Code:
{League} YYYY {Team 1} 'vs' {Team 2}

- New field 'strFilename' is:
Code:
{League} - YYYY-MM-DD - {Team 1} 'vs' {Team 2}

And something a little different for Motorsports and Golf

- Event Name 'strEvent' is now:
Code:
{League} YYYY {Country} {City}

- New field 'strFilename' is:
Code:
{League} - YYYY-MM-DD - {Country} {City}

The most safe way to avoid date mixup is to use MMM with three letters. So Oct for month 10. But that assumes English as language.
