Would someone be kind enough to help write one for football scores, specifically in the English Premier League.

I'm interested in a script for the EPL too in Conky. Also, does anyone have Audacious music player in their Conky file? Mine stopped working once I upgrated to 9.10. Anyone know the script?

I have written gnome applet for cricket. Please give try and let me know how it goes. It is written in python.

Screen shot:



I am planning to enhance this applet to show wicket, score changes alert by using libnotify module.
Also I am planning to have one applet for football score also.

Interested developers can join me.

Great applet and thanks for the hard work. Unfortunately, my panel is already full and I don't think I'd be able to fit this in (as it seems to take up quite a bit of space). Nevertheless I will be following the project eagerly.

you can run this in separate window also,

sachin@sachin-laptop:~$ cricketscore.py run-in-window

cheers,

Thanks,

Thanks will definitely try that. A libnotify updater is quite useful.

Thanks It's working. Will it also show score if there's more than 1 match ?

[sachin6870]

No, currently it uses source data from
http://livechat.rediff.com/sports/score/score.txt
which is limited current popular match in India.

I am planning to extend it by using some other source like cricinfo or cricbuzz feed.

If you get that working, it will be 'cool'

Good luck!
