Hi,

Same problem here...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tosema:
Same problem since yesterday ... ¿new year bug?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akpe:
Also getting errors :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] markpud:
mee too ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mirogal:
seems, that source web page was changed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paul c:
yeah, I think the developer is no longer on this product - maybe the agreement with the webpage ran out at year end.

Great shame, this did EXACTLY what I was looking for :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Me three

esudl has not posted since August but was active only yesterday.

Come back please! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ejai2003:
i agree this is such a great program. hope that the developer can continue developing it. i doesn't mind to pay a few dollar for this.

this is just a suggestion, if the developers has lost interest with this project can u please release the source code so that others can continue this brilliant project. thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tekflow:
Paying for this excellent software

I don't mind paying many dollars for this!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mirogal:
I found something similar. Using this application about a month.

Try it:

http://needinfo.aspone.cz/

...and developing is alive :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nobodydu02:
Hi, and thanks for this app. do you know if there are also notification as pop up like in footballmonitor?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Scooby71:
No longer working in new year

Football monitor is no longer working in 2011.

I keep getting the message that the string is out off value.

Can anybody help me with this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Give me strength, you took a year to have this as your first post...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mitsi:
From Scooby's post, I learn that this app is more likely not to be working at all and it is not just me who is having problems.

From your post, I learn nothing except your character. :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
from all important posts we can notify that this great soft isn't working properly for now.

so now we only can :

- wait for esudl to release a patch, a fix or a new version

- no to shout to him he has to do it

- be patient

everything else will be really pointless.

Point Final

Punktschluss

Endpoint
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] markpud:
Yeah and we'd never expect a pointless post on a web forum... ;)

Some people have a lower RTFM tolerance than others I guess.. but anyway I really wished esudl would be able to update this great app to get it back online again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
sorry, i have left Windows Mobile

Hi, I've moved on to Android, and I can't keep up with the development of this.

Does anyone who has. NET want to take over, or maybe I can make it open source so you can all make changes?

Let me know.

Sorry I can't keep up with it.

Thomas
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Timeline:

3rd January - four posts commenting that this application no longer works

4th January - four more confirming posts (including one from me)

7th January - one post

8th January - one post

10th January - alternative software proposed and query about notifications

11th January - our friend notes that this isn't working for him and asks for help for him to get it working. From this post you learn this application isn't working. :confused:

13th January - esudl confirms he is no longer developing and offers to publish the source code.

esudl, thank you for your application, I'm no programmer but if the source code was made available I am sure someone could use it. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dbraikos:
I have used the previous version of this app and I had a lot of problems. I'll try the latest and I hope it's now working properly. I have also used Snaptu (www . snaptu . com) lately, but although it works fine, I hate the fact it runs in Java environment and it lacks the most important feature of football monitor, the pop-up messages.

I hope someone can continue Football Monitor's development...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nobodydu02:
Hi Thomas,

happy to see you again here. I'm not an expert in development but open source is may be the best way if you are agree to do it.

Are you working on a similar software on android?

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dainar:
Hi Thomas,

I support the idea of all. why do not you make your own open source software?

But also I'm trying this:

http://needinfo.aspone.cz/

seems very well done. try it!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nobodydu02:
Thomas, where are you? lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paul c:
Well,

I came to the conclusion that FootballMonitor is unique. The base functionality of the alerts is what makes it different, as far as I can see.

It's a great shame it can't be developed further, but thanks Thomas for creating and supporting it ;).

I'm 1/2 way over to Android myself, so hopefully see you there!

In order to make FootballMonitor work again, does it "just" need to be pointed towards a server with the necessary info?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Ok, I'm back. Sorry for the delay. Right, I believe the fix is simple. Basically, the software uses a website called m.flashscores.co.uk (mobile site because it's really small imprint), and parses it. The site has recently slightly changed the site look, causing the software to not work. Someone will need to go through, and find the fix, but it should be quite easy.

the source is attached to the first post, it's in C#.NET. It would be really great if you could make it open source between you, so that everyone can see fixes/improvements you make, but unfortunately I don't have time to look into that, and don't have the resources to develop.

If you have any problems compiling, let me know, and I'll try to help (I cut down the number of files, to make it fit within the limit, so maybe I've missed something).

Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dainar:
welcome back.

I immediately make the correction

I'll let you know. thanks

edit: ops!

I thought to find the correct version. Instead I found the source of the program.

Unfortunately I am not able to compile it.

Waiting for someone better than me to undertake to solve the problem.

However, I thank you for your kindness and generosity in providing us all the sources of your work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nobodydu02:
thanks a lot for the source. Just a novice question: which software do you use?

I'll try to work on it.

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hskeik:
Anybody who can program it again with the new source, please... neeeeed this apppppppp :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] onthenet:
i'm giving a bump to this awesome app, please someone make it work !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
It was built in Visual Studio 2008, you might be able to build in 2005 though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
What version of visual studio did you use? What error did you get?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hskeik:
why can't you make it if you can ?

try to make it quickly please... for us :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nobodydu02:
Esudl has already done a good job to develop this soft and he now move on android. But as he proposes the source, there is only need to find someone who can do it here, and on the developper world, it may be possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rybar73:
hi,

I have a good news and bad news for you.

Bad news is that I have also problem with compilation project in VS2008. There are some problems in project FootballMonitor and I am not able found part of Controls.FMForm and after debug I get 'TypeLoadException'. I probably need right Control.dll and Controls.FMForm which is not included?

But I have also one good news :-) I am fixed FootballMonitorService.exe. I am found problem ,as said esudl, in parsing page.

I attached fixed code(for other developers) and exe file for FootballMonitorService. There are other confusing thing for me. You need Control.dll for working service, but you need also original Controls.dll for configuration service!

So first you have to set all needed configuration, then copy FootballMonitorService.exe and my Controls.dll (don't remove original just rename).

So service working fine but FootballMonitor doesn't work if you try refresh.

I will try more investigating after weekend.

btw. I have to say that I don't use this app, because I have my own FootballInformer for live football results but without service! :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Boen2:
Hi Rybar73,

Thanks for your help so far. I'm using your FootballInformer also and it's a great app. Only negative thing is that there's no pop-up when a goal is scored, so you have to check each score if anything has changed. That's why I love Football Monitor so much.

So, many thanks in advance if you got it working again! (or just add a score pop-up to FootballInformer ;-) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Ok, I'll get that Controls part for you and upload it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nobodydu02:
hi

thanks rybar73! hope the problem of control.dll and footballmonitor will find a solution.

so thanks to you, and thanks to esudl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nobodydu02:
I've got a "small" problem lol: With footmonitorservice, I have notification of games which will be played. but during game, I have notifications as below:

"Team A" -1

"Team B" -1

is it normal?

the sudamerican leagues not update, the results that see the software are very old ...

(sorry for my english ...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
hi.

soft isn't updated anymore.

developpement of this terrible good software is dead.

I'm sad, but it's so.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ninnitto:
any other software like this??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akpe:
Until (and if) FootballMonitor is updated I'm personally using FootballInformer :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dainar:
I also think that this software will no longer be developed.

also tell you that footballinformer has no audio notification of change of partial results. unfortunately.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Sorry guys. If I get the chance tonight, I will upload what I think I forgot last time.

I have uploaded another zip file in the original post Controls.zip

Let me know if you need anything else.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TangerineTractor:
It's one of the big problems - it takes a few minutes to download and display the teams list. Best thing is to put it on the select teams page, and keep just touching or moving on the screen every now and then to stop your phone going to standby - it will eventually bring up the list of teams - select them once and don't try to do it again!

Hade to say this app has got me intrigued, and I started trying to write my own, but I can't find a decent live scores feed anywhere.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigga29:
For me it work really good, it even work with teams from my local league Costa Rica League I mean if it work with my league it should work with every league on the word.

I would like to have a way to change the time to my local time.

:):):):):):):):):):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nino9:
I like it very much!!!!

I love LFC~~~~~~~~~

You'll Never Walk Alone!~~

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paul c:
:)

Sure enough, I got a notification today, that Liverpool's next game was 21.00 (CET timezone) today: it was yesterday. Not sure why it comes up one day late, but I've also disable the upcoming matches notification... Where in the registry should I tweak?

edit: I had this option enabled in 0.21, and disabled in 0.22 - do the different versions write to a different registry entry?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
I will look at changing the format of the score. For the sounds, the logic is in code, and you can actually enable it in the configuration, but I couldn't find any nice wavs to play. Anyone got any?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
It doesn't actually write to the registry, it's all in the config.txt file.

I had the same issue with Liverpool saying it was coming up today. I'll investigate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
I have fixed the team selection in the version I am building at the moment. I just haven't had chance in the last couple of days, damn working getting in the way ;)

I want to come up with solutions to some of the other gripes before I release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
When you say change the time to your local time, which times are not showing up correctly? In the last version 0.22 I should've got the app starting at the correct time, but maybe I've missed something.

Thanks for your feedback
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Notifications

Ok, so how do people want the notifications to work?

At the moment I use a System notification together with a form which has the details. I liked the System Notification, since it is standard to notify someone with.

So options are:

Leave how it is (both)

Use only a System Notification

Use the custom window

Allow you to choose

I know that there is also the issue of when the score updates, it leaves the old windows open. So Liverpool score once, we get 1 custom window + 1 notification, they score again, we've now got 2 custom windows and 2 notifications.

I will look at fixing this again, I tried before, but for some reason it caused more problems than it fixed. I will try again ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frigide:
fotmob

I'm a big fan of soccer. So i use Fotmob for 2 years. It is a great program. I will test FootballMonitor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
I've seen fotmob advertised, but I just didn't want to pay for anything. It's quite comprehensive though, so it may be worth it. Can you leave it running in the background and it notifies you about score updates?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frigide:
When i watch a game on television and there is a goal max 2 min later my phone Rings and vibrate. (in standby modus). Still i hope there is a good program maker how makes a beter free program. Maybe some can give teamstats a update with auto update and score alarm!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigga29:
Well for me it work perfectly but I really would like like to have an option to change the time of the matches, for me to now at what time it would be in my local time with out the need to go to the internet to see what time it will be in my country.

Other than that this app is really cool:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paul c:
I'm using Mr Rusch's 10.9.1 NUTS WM6.1 + Sense (Manila) 2.1 on a Xperia: I like the custom notifications (although it would be good,as you say, if just the last one was left visible), and also a finger-sized X button on the notification would be good ;) )

Time I think to create a "donate" link to your signature!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
Not the dutch it seems? It took a lot of time to load the leagues:)

Got a error when clikcing on "save"

Uefa has a java football app too, see m.uefa.com for EU league.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Hi,

Are you running the latest version, I thought I'd fixed it there? I even tried running in French timezone on my phone, and it seemed to work. So if you go into "All Today" matches, and look at the ones for your teams, they show an incorrect time?

Does anyone who is running on a non UK timezone have it working?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akpe:
One vote to have an option to select system notification, custom window or both :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nimoi62:
Really usefull for me :) I use this everyday !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paul c:
Yes, I'm in Spain (CET) the match times reported are correct (eg Liverpool's 20.00 game in the UK reported for 21.00, R Madrid's games correctly reported too, local time - 24 hours late as mentioned, but right time :)

This way, will it pick up all matches for a given team across all competitions, or just in the league specified?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Yes, that is how it works, it should find that team in any competition they are participating in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
New Version up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigga29:
To the developer I would like to thank him very much because this is a really great program cheers.

Now I now at what time are the games in my local time zone.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrwangkai:
Definitely a fans' essential tool during work or school! http://bit.ly/bPe7Lx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vin91:
Finally the best world application: D

Esudl thank you very much.

Small matter, you expect that the results of the last day of each league with the ranking?

Frankly would be his great, I strongly encourage you to continue:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Caramel:
Excelent work !!!

I think i found why is there multiple notifications for the same match, while trying the news features, i've found many time the same team in the watch list cause the software add it althought it's already in the list

For example, i add strasbourg team via the "choose team" panel, i go to the "live score" and i "click" on strasbourg, it ask if i want add the team in the watch list, i answer yes.

Now i go in the "choose team" panel and i found 2 time strasbourg

May be it help ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frigide:
i like the program. But when you what to follow a competition it is a lot of work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Ok, I will think up a good way of making that work. So you want to be able to say, I want to follow e.g. the English premier league, and it would notify you whenever there was a match in that league? This would be in addition to selecting teams, because for teams you would get notifications no matter what the league.

I think I can make that work relatively painlessly.

Thanks for the input.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kingtut123:
excellent program

finally I have it working on my sprint mogul
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drmotto:
I've always dies. I click on the Configure / "choose teams' menu, and an end. Can only kill. I900/WM6.1

v0.22

PS: I'm sorry, I'm Hungarian, and some speak only English.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] digital_biscuit:
Looking forward to trying this a little later on, get depressed trawling the beeb's website to follow my team, something a little quicker will be nice, will report my findings later!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagray:
Excellent app, quickly becoming the most useful on my phone.

Few suggestions for development:

1. League Tables for followed leagues, other stats would be nice but not really needed imo.

2. Not sure if it's a windows problem, but if the warning message "football monitor unable to connect" the refresh stops until this is cleared, often meaning missed updates, can this warning be removed and football monitor simply retry.

3. Older results, possibly the ability to look back over one week or more.

4. Fixtures for followed teams, could be per day as a callender rather than team lists.

All small gripes in an otherwise awesome app!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kingtut123:
addition of notification tone selection and volume will be great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Try 0.23, I've fixed the Team selection in that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Caramel:
Hi !

I send to you some screens of bugs from the 0.23

And the task manager
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Thanks for the feedback Caramel. Do you have both of those teams selected to follow? Also, can you check something out for me, in the config.txt file, do you have one of those teams twice?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PollPixx:
Well, it really doesn't work for me for some reason.

When starting up I added some Dutch Themes, when I press "start service" I get a pop up screen: No config file exists, please run the configuration application" but I can't find that option.

I get blank screens if I try to watch today and tommorows matches.

Soft reset did not help.

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zepiii:
Excellent App !

Thank you ;)

@Caramel : ;) !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Ah, maybe you didn't save after adding the teams. Sorry, it's not obvious you have to do that. Try that and let me know. Also, yes, you will get blank screens if you are not following any teams. There should be a menu item "View"->"Show only leagues interested in". Uncheck that if you want to see all competitions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PollPixx:
I did, but nothing happens, I saved my teams, Choose Netherlands at VIEW, it did not work. After soft reset, still no result besides I had to choose my teams again. Repeated this a few times.

I have X1 with WM6.1 with .Net3.5 so that should be enough to let this program work I guess...

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Can you upload your config.txt file for me? Can you check whether it is read only? Try version 0.24 which I just uploaded, when you go to add a team, does it show that you have any already selected? And when you add a new one, and Save, does it ask you whether you want to restart the service?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PollPixx:
Now, no idea how come, but after installing a completely different program, soft reset AGAIN and now there is a pop up that tonight there will be some matches, so it is working after all, but don't ask me what I've done ;-)

cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PollPixx:
well, tonight there where some fascinating matches here in Holland. And a good possibility to test this program.

Unfortunately I got an error a few times. After resetting the program it worked again, but after a while the error appears again.

Does anyone knows what was wrong exactly?

Here is a screenshot I made:

Cheers,

Arnold
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Caramel:
Hi !

@esudl, i've looking in the list, i dont have both time the team

For the v 0.24 i've the same bug than PoolPixx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esudl:
Strange, I've never seen that message before. I know what causes it, but not sure how it got into that situation. Which teams do you follow? Feyenoord or Vitesse by any chance? I see that match was abandoned, wondering whether that could've caused it.

I've removed the MessageBox from that error anyway in the version I am preparing now, it now just puts the message in the log.
