Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

I downloaded the .4 version from this thread, can the missing packages not be installed on their own?

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

Actually... I recommend against installing it now as a newer version is imminent and you won't have the trouble :)

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

Ok mate thanks, will install later then :) keep up the good work

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

app app app .. just bookmark this site guys,, http://www.livescores.com/

direct link for worldcup -http://www.livescores.com/default.dll?page=worldcup

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

Can't wait to play with it. Hopefully I'll be able to keep an eye on the end of the European seasons.

thank you for making this application

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

Bookmarking a website? And even checking scores on a website? All this works? Even with direct link?
Amazing technology - didn´t know that!
This is crazy **** man!

Oh well, its not me alone creating 200+ posts out of pure lack of knowledge...

Re: FIFA World Cup App ?
 

I'm happy to announce that QSportsEvent 0.0.5 is on its way to Extras-Devel!

UNINSTALL ANY PREVIOUS VERSION

Main changes from previous version:
1) It should hopefully be possible to install from Extras-Devel with all dependencies brought in automatically. My device already has all dependencies, so I'm not able to test this... For those who are doing a fresh install, please let me know how it goes!
2) No more auto-shutdown problem!
3) Database is now writable, so you can add and remove favourites! Please note that future versions of QSportsEvent might make you loose any configurations you do, so don't add too many favourites and take note (and share...) any good URLs you add.
4) Several UI improvements. I won't bother to list them all. You'll see them.

What you should NOT play around with:

1) The 'import' function. It works alright, it's just that at the moment it is more for my own loading of the database.
2) For historical and future feature reasons, you will still see the Games and Standings tabs. I've tried to make them invisible, but that doesn't seem to work. Just ignore them for now...

Experimental
1) The new 'rate players' screen is there. To my great disappointment, I was not able to get it in portrait mode, which is the only usable mode. Apparently it should be trivial with Qt 4.6, so I'll wait until PR 1.2 is out before revisiting this. By default it comes loaded with Inter Milan's players. In principle, you could load other teams through the import->TeamRooster screen and button, but you won't be able to do much with it at the moment... You may wonder what this is all about... I'll elaborate later...

Known bugs:
1) I have a feeling something is still wrong when you try to add favourites, but I can't exactly put my finger on it.
2) Not really a bug, but in the favourites screen I plan to change the 'region' text to icons instead. So, England would become an icon of the English flag.
3) Fingerscrolling in the Select tab is a pain... I guess is default Qt behaviour, so not much I can do about it now...
4) Fingerscrolling not working in webkit tabs (Table, Matches and Update Scores).

That's all! Keep bug reports and feature requests coming!

And finally, thanks to the contributors without whom the app would look a lot, I mean a LOT more boring!

Disclaimer! Please note that the app does use your internet connection. I have no idea if it's a lot or not. I believe it should not be too bad. The only worry I have is about the 'Update Scores' page which is supposed to reload automatically every 60 seconds. If you are not on an unlimited data plan or on WiFi, use it with caution...

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Just tried it now and still get the missing packages message :( missing libqt4 4.6.2 git20100224 0maemo1+0m5

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Confirmed libqt4-core is still a dependancy.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Same here libqt4-core is missing. Before there where more packages missing though...

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

waiting for version 0.0.6 :p heheh

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

How do you download missing packages?

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Ok, seems the autobuilder issue is not fixed the way I'd need it to be fixed. :( I'll see if I can work around it, but I won't spend too much time on it because:1) PR1.2 should be out before X-mas, so the problem should go away by itself pretty soon, and 2) There is a workaround, which is to manually install the .deb file, and 3) Not much I can do about the way the app is built in Garage anyway...

So, here comes 0.0.5 as it has been built on my development environment, so the installatioin procedure is what it was in previous versions. Download the .deb file and launch it from the file manager.

There is a dependency on libqt4-webkit. If you need it, you have to be root and once you are, you can do:

apt-get install libqt4-webkit

EDT: .deb file removed as there is a new one in this post.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Yeah, installed without prob - thanks alot Magnuslu!!!
Feedback follows, but probably not before the weekend...

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Ok, seems like the autobuilder fix does not fix it for Qt applications :(

Unfortunately, this approach doesn't include Qt packages as there are more
problems to that, but we hope the Qt API to be more stable in future
releases.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Done the apt-get for webkit but now saying it needs libqt4-core

Edit- just tried to get libqt4-core through terminal but says already at latest version, is it going to turn out that i need pr1.2 for the version for this to work for me? how have others got it working

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Maybe they already had Qt based apps installed? :confused: Frankly, I don't know... Yeah... The safe thing to do seems to wait for PR1.2... :eek:

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

But the world cup is in june! :)

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

I've created a wiki page for QSportsEvent on wiki.maemo.org, find it here. So far it is not much more than a skeleton.

In the future, I will make an effort to keep it as updated as possible. Basically, it shoud be a one stop shop of information about the app to allow new users to get all the information they need in one place without having to read through the whole post.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

livescore.in allow you to have your own free live score feed on your website. they are using xscores.com live xml data feed.
maybe either of those sites will allow you to use that for auto updates on the live feeds.
reason i like livescore.in is that it updates as fast as the bookies sites(which is faster then most livescore sites) and you can view the goal scorer or yellow/red cards etc, and the time is live too, there is sounds for goals and half/full time whistles. It's got a nice layout so maybe if you can't use their data feed maybe using some design/features may help.
with regards to news feeds. i think the user should be able to edit these. the reason being is i speak only english but i like to keep track of leagues from around the world.

keep up the good work.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

magnuslu,
do you think your code could be ported easily? What I wish was created is a skinnable GUI that can be adapted to different sports simply by changing the "skin" to say NBA or NFL. In doing so, the app then gets basketball/football updates via rss or however you are currently doing so. It could then even be further personalized, ask the user their favorite team on start up, and have the app d/l a skin of that team. Editable of course as there are front runners :)


** Edit, is this app for the 900 exclusively or will it function on the 8x0 series as well :/

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Interesting thoughts! I certainly want to make it generic to cater for other sports as well, icehockey, basketball and Am. football would be my next candidates. At the moment, the only 'football' specific thing about the app is the background image. I could make it load a 'qsportsevent_landscape.jpg' and 'qsportsevent_portrait.jpg' instead and you put whatever you want there? I'd still like to have defaults for all sports, so I would probably provide that for whatever I will support in the future. Ah.... Yes, you are more than welcome to provide such background images for me to include! Just make sure I have the legal right to use them...

Even more important though... Do you know of any data source that I could use for these other sports?

In Extras-Devel there should be a Diablo version. I have no way of testing it, so please try it out! Let me know if the auto-shutdown issue is there... Not sure if it got fixed for that version.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Well... Last time I contacted xscores.com they quoted something like EUR750 per month, and that's not even for all leagues! If you can find a way for me to fund that expense, I'm on!!

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Good news then! In version 0.0.5 you are able to enter your own URLs :D

I probably should do some of my own rendering in case the selected URL is a link to a RSS XML. I haven't looked into this yet. Anyone has a generic CSS stylesheet that I could use for that?

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

I installed the new version on my N810 (Diablo). I get the new icon but;
a) when running it through the menu nothing happens,
b) when running it through the terminal using qsportsevent I get;
QSLITE driver not loaded and failed to connect, database not open and finally a segmentation fault.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Déjà vu...

I believe an N810 user of my other app (QTeachMe) reported the same issue... I guess I'll have to look into this somehow, even though I don't have an N810 to test it on myself...

Thanks for reporting and not just giving up!

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Hey..put brazilian league on the list pleaseee!

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

It's there! Select it from the first tab, the 'Select' tab. The name of the selected league will now appear as the app title. Go to the 'Favourites' tab and click on the + sign below the table and the currently selected league will be added to your favourites. Feel free to remove any leagues you don't want from the favourites as well.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

magnuslu,
I sent you a PM with the data sources for most of the USA sports you do not have included. Let me know if you did not receive them.

Haus3r,
What are the images you are posing for :)

*edit I am running .5 on my 810 and have little to no problems. It does randomly crash here and there but after a long bit of initial loading, seems to work (at least 4 me)

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

...ehm Application Logo? :)

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

I installed the latest version. So far it works very well. How do you add the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa Cup?

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Hi all, remember seeing this post start, am chuffed its taken off now, looks like it is going to be pretty sweet.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned and Ive missed it, but soccerDB looks pretty ace for historical scores, stats and tables just wondering whether it would be worth going for an RSS based live score functionality (such as http://www.scorespro.com/rss/live-soccer.xml which has an impressive country support and looks to have country flags for some client side splitting by region). SoccerDB can then be used for all the tables, stats etc etc, all the static stuff?

Only a thought.

Thanks.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Guys, BUMP :p

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

How about these with the Q shaped football instead. Yeah, I guess, I really liked that idea...

I'm actually thinking that the Q shaped football could also replace the 'normal' football in the background image of the app.

On the topic of the background image, I really like the main idea of it, however I suggest to increase the space for the 'grass' and to have less 'sky' as well. Possible?

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

I played around with the football+q idea. Tbh, (as mentioned before), when reduced to 48x48 or even 64x64 you can barely see the effect/idea anymore, so it kinda takes the fun out of it :(

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

This looks like an interesting feed! Just wondering if the RSS feed gives live data or only final results? I can't quite determine that


Loading the 'static' info from SoccerDB is the feature I'm working on right now :D. Hopefully you'll see it 0.0.6.

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Yeah... That's one of the issues for the data from SoccerDB... I can't seem to find anything that is about 'knock-out stages', only 'regular season' kind of things...

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

Thanks. Got them. I'll definitively look at them. Seems like http://www.scorespro.com also has the US sports? I'll check both out and see which one to use. Please note that I am intending to support other sports than football, but maybe a little bit later (a couple of weeks away or so...).

I suspect has to do with what qt/sql packages are installed on Diablo, but as I have no such device in my vicinity (it was never released here in Singapore), I can't do much... :(

Are the crashes you are getting 'random', or when you perform certain specific actions?

Re: [QSportsEvent] FIFA World Cup and Football App
 

The crashes I can remember happened when my stylus was moving faster than the app. I tried to perform an action, it did not respond in the 1/2 second I gave it and tried again. It then did both actions in super speed and closes :)

The feeds I geave you are live feeds, and come from ESPN. They are just manipulated by the 3rd party site to rss
