An idea worth considering... If someone can recommend some betting site that would pay a 'commission' for referrals, I'll be happy to link to them

Here are all the leagues from all countries.

If you need something else parsed, let me know

Here are a few links to pages with club logos:
http://efcl.ej.am/
http://uefaclubs.com/html/1.html
http://www.logoserver.com/Soccer.html

However I am not sure if you can use those for online queries and wouldnt it be better (faster) to have the logos stored within the app?

EDT: The attached .deb file has been removed as there is a new one. Find it here:

Ok, the first PROTOTYPE, but 'working' version of QSportsEvent is now available. It should pop up in the Extras-Devel repository shortly. If it doesn't, you can use the .deb file attached to this post, but then you'll have to install any dependencies manually.

Please note that there is a dependency on libqt4-webkit. This is a rather big package (17Mb+), so make sure you have a friendly data plan when downloading it!

Instructions for use:
0. Delete any previous qsportsevent.db file you might have (You would only have one if you installed the version that I made available in the QSportsEvent thread of a month ago or so. Please make sure to uninstall the app as well before proceeding).
1. Launch the app.
2. Go to the 'standard' Maemo menu and select 'Import'.
3. Click 'Browse' and navigate to the SoccerDBLeagues.txt file (you will not see the .txt extension). You should be able to use the file provided by robbie with all the leagues as well. It's getting late where I am, so I have not tested it. I will include it in the next version.
4. Click on 'SoccerDB' (Do not click on Import!!). You don't have to enter anything in the Event Name. Just wait a couple of seconds. There is no visual proof that everything went fine
5. Click outside of the 'Import' window to get back to the main window
6. You should now see 'Football' as 'Sport', but nothing else in Region, ... You have to manually select 'Football' from the list for the next combo box to be filled.
7. Once you have entered Sport, Region, Event and Season, you should be able to see the Games(Online) and Standings(Online) tabs with data. Note that you always have to select from the combo boxes in that order!
8. Enjoy!
9. Provide feedback!

Known issues:

Apart from what is mentioned above...
1. The app dies spontaneously sometimes...
2. Looks ugly (but functional...)
3. Too many other small issues to list them all...

I'd be keen to know how well it works on Diablo (but only use the version from Extras-Devel, not the attached one!!).

Yes, I'd rather include them in the package, if I am allowed to...

Hey Guys its great how this thread is taking off and even having the first prototype...awesome!
Of course, first of all BIIIIIG thanks to Magnuslu for all his work!
But also for all of you providing usefull input and help here!!!

Come on Guys lets start testing and help Magnuslu make his QSportsEvent a first class app :-)

Here's the source of the script that i used to get all league ID's. As you can see it's just a couple of lines of php. Most work is done by the simple html dom code.

So if you need something else parsed from the site, just ask.

Version 0.0.3 is in extras-devel but I cannot install it - says libqt4-* packages missing :-(

I assume use of club logos is no problem as they are used everywhere on the web and even quite a few sites offer complete collections - e.g. see the links I posted before.

This site (http://www.wgrill.net/index.php?page...f=1&i=download) provides even downloads for major european leagues...

What are the specs you will need for your app (size, type, naming)?

The league logos are protected brands as far as I know and probably not free for use - anyone knows better about the legal situation here?
