I noticed a couple days ago that livesoccertv.com changed its url convention for the fixtures page. The script now accomodates for the url change.

With the Olympics, MLS and the start of European soccer, it seems like the world’s most watched game is taking over. Now more than ever it seems harder to find a channel showing the game you are interested in. This happened to me yesterday when I was trying to find a channel that was showing the Manchester United game.
Normally I head over to livesoccertv.com, a site that has the most accurate soccer listings for American and Canadian viewers. However, now with the plethora of games going on, and channels now specializing in soccer, it took me a long time to find the Manchester United game among all the other.
Upset with this development, I set about creating a script so that I will never have to deal with this issue again.So today with the help of greasemonkey, atleast users that own firefox will be able to add some customization to whats displayed on the fixtures page.
Without further avail, I introduce – the livesoccertv channel sorter
Options include:
- The ability to only display games that exist on channels you have access to
- The ability to only display games that are listed as Live
- The ability to highlight games that are going on right now
Variables:
- channels: an array that should be filled by a list of the channels you own. To list all the channels add a blank space entry to the array.
- showOnlyLiveGames: by setting a 1 to this variable, only the games that are scheduled to be on live are listed.
- highlightCurrentGames: highlights the games that are currently going on.
(You can track the script through its development process and read about the known issues here)
The script has turned out to be might handy. By setting it to my channels and to only show live games, I managed to reduce the fixture list for the day from an unmanageable 50 to a nice and tidy 4.
Give it a whirl!!
