[QUOTE="mzemina, post: 21059, member: 11677"] This could take a little bit of work. Would need to take the RSS feed (from which XML feed? ESPN, Yahoo, Foxsports, etc) and parse the data to capture the specifics (score, down, play, yardline, etc.), not only that would need to have a configuration as to allow display of specific teams or all teams? Because once it would start then not only pro teams then I am sure would want college teams also! This could be a fun project. I was looking at [url=http://www.widgetgallery.com]Konfabulator[/url] which Yahoo resently purchased and found a [url=http://www.widgetgallery.com/view.php?widget=36318]ESPNticker widget[/url], (widget is what they call the small "gadget" type display which shows information) that shows sports news feeds from ESPN and it has the source code. (note: Konfabulator was first developed for Mac OS-X desktop and now has most widgets available for Windows also.) It is a starting place but would require parsing and matching the data to be displayed. I wish MP users had a similar architecture which would allow placing "widgets" on any MP screen, instead of developers needing to develop the entire screen display. Just my two cents. Then we could have an analog clock or the weather or the TV preview screen, or the music controls, etc. placed anywhere (sized and located to the users desired placement) on any (or all) screen(s) the user wanted. Guess I am rambling and I diverged. I will stop. Mike Zemina [/QUOTE]
