It works particularly well for things like UFC or Motor-racing.

zag Posts: 3,511 Joined: 2020 | OK finally got round to testing this. Its working as it should for the TV scraper with the episode relating to the event "round". Folder name example So yes its working, but you need to edit the event to give it a "round" number. | ||

The file name is: R:\Complete\Sports\NBA\S1920\NBA.2020-01-06.Dallas.Mavericks.vs.Chicago.Bulls.mkv I don't think the scraper uses our filename conventions sadly, I did get it working once for team sports but tended to use it mostly for single events like WWE or F1 Racing for which it worked well. Have you tried the test fake library on the kodi wiki? Maybe that might give some hints. I seem to remember something about round being needed... https://kodi.wiki/view/Samples#Fake_Spo ... ow_library Let us know if you crack it, it was great having events in Kodi. | ||

One day I will add custom filenames here (it's on the todo list) but it will still need Kodi scraper support somehow. Perhaps the new Python scrapers will help? | ||

I made a script that recognize the teams from file name and than takes a background image, adds to it logos of those teams and saves a new poster. My goal is to have individual poster for each game with logos of teams that play the game. That makes it easier for me to find the game I'm looking for. I could do upload those but I'd have to do it each it each time manually. | ||

Sure, I'll come back with it when I'm done. It's going to recognize sport event out of the filename, rename it to the name TheSportsDB suggest, create poster, Kodi .nfo file and move the file to league folder. Let me know if you think something else might be useful when processing such files | ||
