Yes, that's right, meegoal_lpm_backend needs to be running to update the view. That's because of the "1000 ms problem" with billboard and opening the data file of meegoal takes about 1,2 seconds, so no way to access the data directly. So as a workaround I read the data and save the information to be displayed in a seperate file. meegoal_lpm.py returns only the content of this seperate file to billboard. So if backend and meegoal itself is not running you will never get any data update.

Unfortunately there is another problem:
Billboard runs the script only if information on LPM like battery-status is updated, and I have no idea how I can manipulate it to update it for example every minute, while match is running.

btw.: working on Standings-UI, any suggestion for goalgetters?
