Live updates not working?

See original GitHub issue

I’m using the version of the codebase that has

_CUR_SCHEDULE = "http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/scorestrip/ss.xml"

(not the postseason version) and I’m getting back the live XML. However, during live games,

games = nflgame.live.current_games(2017)

…is returning None. Something change in the schema? Thanks for this library @BurntSushi , it’s been awesome the past three years I’ve been able to use it in my pick 'em app.

I am now using a hidden API from espn, i was able to parse out all of the live scores for each game using this. it is big, but all of the info is there, search for /scoreboard/ to find it, i was starting my parse using the .png for each team.

Fantastic news!!! This could potentially make this project functional again. I am not interested in reviving this project, but if anyone would like to take the reigns I’d be happy to hand it off.
