 zag Posts: 3,511 Joined: 2020 | English Premier league, Spanish La Liga and German Bundasliga are all now pretty much ready to go, but I cant just filter by those leagues without doing a load of temporary hacks. It will need to be at the very least MLS, French and Italian leagues complete with player ID's before I turn this on. Just for the logic behind this, If we miss just a single players ID and they have a timeline event then the sync will miss it out and cause all kinds of issues with top goal scores(coming soon) etc. So I want to get the backend data right before adding the feature  I've run scripts in the background matching player names to the ID's, as well as personally checking and updating the the top 3 leagues player id's, so I am working on this a lot, others can help speed up the process though, it will be a cool feature once its done allowing many more features as well.cydalby | ||

zag Posts: 3,511 Joined: 2020 | Thanks I wrote a squad sync tool to add missing players automatically to a team. Should help a lot but still need artwork and descriptions. EDIT1: OK french squads synced automatically with ID's  EDIT2: If anyone is interested in an easy way to do the French cutouts: 1) Go to the official website https://www.ligue1.com/ 2) Search for the player 3) Click on the player result to show their full profile page 3) Right click on the players image >> save image as 4) You should now get a nice 700x700 size profile image 5) upload image to https://www.remove.bg/ and it should auto resize to 500x500 6) Upload cutout to player page | ||

zag Posts: 3,511 Joined: 2020 | Similar for MLS you can find a nice high resolution profile face by going to this site https://www.foxsports.com/soccer/luis-diaz-7-player Right click on the image and open in new tab https://b.fssta.com/uploads/application/soccer/headshots/69082.vresize.350.350.medium.22.png Then remove the scaling "vresize" text from the URL like this: https://b.fssta.com/uploads/application/soccer/headshots/69082.png It needs re cropping and increasing colour depth to 16 million colours but its a nice high quality image to use. | ||

zag Posts: 3,511 Joined: 2020 | Ok timeline sync is now active, its experimental for now as you will probably see lots of missing players. Especially the substitutes. All manual just like the other features until we build up the player database. Example: https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/1034699 cydalby | ||

zag Posts: 3,511 Joined: 2020 | I improved it a little, so that the yellow cards show on the player lineup as well next to the players name. Wondering if I should remove them and the substitutes from the timeline to make it cleaner? | ||

Posts: 346 Joined: 2020 | I personally use the yellow cards from the timeline api so it’d be great if they stayed. Can’t hurt to have it in both though! | ||

zag Posts: 3,511 Joined: 2020 | - Timeline - Lineups - Event stats - Highlights - Created, linked & added cutouts for missing players Ahh amazing thanks, I've had a good look at the English premiership and championship but meant to do it for some other leagues as well but my clicking fingers hurt too much It will be automated next season I hope but for now it will remain manual until next summer. EDIT: I've also been playing with the display of timeline events. I hope it pleases all, I tried to simplify the data while keeping the nice look. Still trying to work out how to show assists and red cards. Ovokx, MaximeGo31 | ||
