I wanted to bring some updates to your attention involving my Sports Scores apps that will be rolling out pretty soon.
Biggest Change: No need for multiple app instances!
When the new apps are live, you’ll no longer need to have multiple instances of apps! Tidbyt has added the functionality for developers to bypass the 15 second automatic app switch, so all the apps will now have a Rotation Speed setting where you can set how long you want them to appear on the screen. The default is 5 seconds, but you’ll be able to select between 3 and 15 seconds per game.
If you currently have multiple app instances installed, you simply need to remove all but one of each app.
Only show scores for a specific team
You’ll be able to select a specific team from each league, and it will only display their scores! The default functionality is to show the previous day’s game result (if applicable), and whatever the next upcoming game is. I’ve received feedback that it would be nice to have it ONLY display while a game is in progress, which I’ll look into for a future release.
Layout
As noted on a previous forum post, the new layout will display game information on top, with the option of showing the league name, current time, or just the game information. Having the league name visible will help with confusion between all the NCAA schools.
