Continual Reloading and Not getting all Information

[txrangersxx]

Started a couple days ago. THe continual reloading and now it is not getting all the information when it tries to connect.
It gets game information when games are going but in between it doesn't get updated states or last game/next game info.
Has something changed with the NHL API?

are you running the latest version? I have not notice any issue recently. when you notice the issue, could you do copy the logs and create a pastebin and post it here?

Having the same issue with two different installs.

KeyError: 'gamePk'

I injected some debugging code, and it looks like the failure occurs because nhl.com is returning this packet:

{'message': "Game data couldn't be found", 'messageNumber': 2}

when trying to retrieve the overview for game id #2023020018

I don't know the API as intimately as some, so I can't tell if this is a transient issue or not.

I also noticed that the update check was failing; performing a sudo pip install lastversion==2.4.15 seems to have fixed that. I'm not sure how long that's been going on, but there you go.

If you remove the team_summary board from your off_day boards, you won't see this error. If you keep the team_summary board in, this is fixed in release 1.6.11 : https://github.com/riffnshred/nhl-led-scoreboard/releases/tag/v1.6.11
