Hi, it's certainly possible for future updates. Thanks.

[kidnappervan 3]

Was thesportsdb.org ever added? I can't find it in Plugins Catalog.

Well there's your answer.

It's unlikely. This thread has been open for like 7 years, with no update except "It's possible for the future."

+1 on this also from me   

But it is not only about the metadataprovider.  
There should be generally a new category "Sports" for libraries where you can sort things by event. 
For example in MMA you have one Event which consists of several parts:

Weigh-In, Pre-Prelims, Prelims, Main-Event, Press-Conference afterwards

tvdb sorts only the Main-Event (as Movie).
But also thesportsdb only sorts the Main-Event. 

It would be very good if it was possible to make in a Sports-Library somehow a structure which follows the chronological order of the Event inside the Event. 

For example:

MMA (libraryfolder-category: Sports) 
    -   MMA Event Number 100 
           - MMA Event Number 100 - Part01 - 1080p.mkv  
           - MMA Event Number 100 - Part02 - 1080p.mkv
           - MMA Event Number 100 - Part03 - 1080p.mkv

     -   MMA Event Number 101 
           - MMA Event Number 101 - Part01 - 1080p.mkv  
           - MMA Event Number 101 - Part02 - 1080p.mkv
           - MMA Event Number 101 - Part03 - 1080p.mkv
           - MMA Event Number 101 - Part04 - 1080p.mkv

It is basically a structure which has Movies but with Episodes like for Shows/Series.

I approximate this by adding the sub-events as extras and using the title sort metadata field to order them.

It doesn't allow for fully sorted playback, but it can be used now.

@LukeAny update on this? 

What do we need to do to get this implemented? I know a lot of users use Emby to store sports/fight/wrestling media (myself included) and a large amount of the time I have to rely on TMDB or TVDB to scrape this metadata (almost always incorrectly!)

It’s certainly possible for future updates. Thanks.

Hi,

Since sports videos are not easy in every system, I have been working on various tools over the last few months. This should help you all too:

[Tool] - NFO Zip package generator

Forum: https://www.thesportsdb.com/forum_topic.php?t=5973

Direct Link: https://tsdb.sem-one.de/ (will not always stay on this domain!)

For Support, use Discort: Discord - TheDataDB

And if there is a lot of demand, I will write you a scraper for Emby.

I started where I left off 10 years ago, not much has happened since my first scraper in 2014. I hope to have now achieved more change for the next few years.

Our Kodi scraper can also download artwork etc: https://www.thesportsdb.com/forum_topic.php?t=5971

As a contributor to SportsDB, I think this would be beneficial.
