XSportScores script - a script for the sports nut

[oqqalz]

I have just released XSportScores 1.0 to XBMCScripts. This script displays current games and scores and other information for certain "US" sports. It does this by "page scraping" Yahoo Sports for data every 15 seconds then updating the GUI's Game List and Score Board appropriately. Some sports will have detailed information, e.g., football has ball possession, current down, yards to go, etc.

The script currently works for the following sports:

NFL
MLB
NBA
WNBA
NHL
NCAA Football
Men's NCAA Basketball
Women's NCAA Basketball
Arena Football
CFL Football


Quick Tutorial:
Once the GUI loads, you can select a sport from the buttons on the left. Once selected, the script downloads and "page scrapes" the current list of games and associated scores for the requested sport. After that, a Game List is produced showing each game, current scores, and some form of game status for all games found. As you scroll through the Game List, detailed information, e.g., scores by period, etc., for the current game is displayed above the Game List in a Score Board fashion. Lastly, the Game List and the Score Board periodically refreshes themselves as long as the focus remain on the Game List. To exit the script, just click the Back button.

Ideas and criticism are welcomed.

Awesome, will give it a try, a cool feature if possible would be to include the highlights much like the new NHL script does.

I know isn't that cool, now if someone can create a script it would be like having NHL center ice on xbmc. Now that would be way cool.
