NFL 2017 Season fixtures not updated

Hi, first time user.

I can see that the primera league is updated with all the known coming fixtures for 2017/18. For the NFL the only one fixture is shown for the 2017: Kansas City Chiefs - New England Patriots (https://www.thesportsdb.com/season.php?s ... =4391&r=01)

If i understand the data structure correct the following should should provide a full list of 2017 fixtures (https://www.thesportsdb.com/season.php?l=4391&s=2017)

If I can update the league for my teams i'm okay with that, however I can see that there is an "Automatic Importer" for american football, so I don't wan't to screw up the db by making duplicates.

What is the best cause of action here?

Ahh had the season started yet?

I will take a look, last time I checked it was during the season break.

EDIT: Does anyone know of any NFL team name changes for the new season?

i tried updating our NFL python script but it failed unfortunately.

Maybe hjone72 knows how to fix as he wrote it originally?

Yep it broken for the new season. I just need the original developer to look at the python script we use, as its a bit beyond me.

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4045

The module still seems to be working so it should be an easy fix.

Just need to work out why changing the year to 2017 in the code doesn't work

Can you help out and check all the teams are current in the database? Any name changes?

The San Diego Chargers have changed city to Los Angeles, other than that, everything seems fine

Thanks! I've changed the name now.

Any idea what their short code might be? At the moment its "SD".

After much investigation it seems the opensource project 'nflgame' is not working for 2017 yet:

https://github.com/BurntSushi/nflgame/issues/331

Our importer is based on this, so we just have to wait for them to fix it.

A fair few NFL teams still need their details filled out while we wait...

OK seems I just needed to sync the new year in python.

We are live updating results again for NFL!

Upcoming games are not displayed. Is there any chance to add full calendar and then update the scores? I'm requesting this in order to be able to add the TV listing for these events.

Same behaviour will be great also NBA games which are added always once they're played, instead of full schedule

Thank you!

Unfortunately not as the API doesn't have future games. I will keep look out though. Its the same for NHL and NBA.

The only thing we really have is Soccer, Rugby and Motorsports in advance at the moment which is a big shame.
