The file is not big (less than 40kb) but it may grow, so maybe we will need to switch to a database so that the plugin can ask for new or updated items.The idea behind is that:- there are a lot of web sites giving sport scores- it is not possible to handle everything- web site changesOf course it would be nice if a site will provide results in an XML format, but it does not exists (some example were given in an another posts but that all I found).XPath seems to me a good way to parse the html. It is not complicated the w3school tutorial is a good way to learn it.But you can also ask other users, I will be happy to try to help you.Give us the urls and what your looking in the page (maybe describe it if it is in greek).The new version allows you to disable the score you don't want to see from MediaPoral by selecting the element and using the context menu.</blockquote>
