Concept: Centralized Match Calendar + Dynamic DNS Switching

Concept: 스포츠중계 Centralized Match Calendar + Dynamic DNS Switching

The idea is to fetch match schedules for all leagues you're interested in (e.g., EPL, K-League, La Liga, etc.) and use these schedules to trigger the Smart DNS switch on your router or network.

???? Tools You’ll Need:

  1. API for Football Match Schedules:

    • Use an API like football-data.org or API-Football to pull match schedules automatically.

    • You can get fixtures for multiple leagues in one go.

  2. Automation Platform:

    • Router Scripts (e.g., AsusWRT-Merlin, OpenWRT) for scheduling Smart DNS routing.

    • Home Automation Systems (e.g., Home Assistant, IFTTT) to trigger actions at specific match times.


✅ Step-by-Step Guide

1. Get Match Schedules via API

You’ll need to fetch match schedules for all the leagues you want to follow. Here’s how:

  1. Register for a Football API like football-data.org or API-Football.

  2. Use the API to fetch fixtures for all relevant leagues.

    • Example endpoint for API-Football: /fixtures?league=39&season=2025 for EPL fixtures.

  3. Save the fixtures in a structured format (JSON, CSV) for easy reading.

2. Create a Centralized Calenda r 스포츠중계for Match Times

  1. Integrate the API data into your router or automation tool. You can write a script or use a service like Google Calendar to input the matches automatically.

    • Example: Each match gets added as an event to your Google Calendar.

  2. Use an automation platform (like Home Assistant, Node-RED, or IFTTT) to connect this calendar to your Smart DNS/VPN system.

    • For example, when a match starts, the system will automatically switch the router to use Smart DNS for the duration of the match.


3. Automate DNS Switching

Now that you have match schedules in place, let’s automate the DNS switching.

  1. Cron Jobs / Router Scripts:

    • Set up scripts that use the match calendar and trigger Smart DNS switching at match time.

    • For example, create a cron job to fetch the match schedule at the start of the day, then check if any matches are scheduled for that day.

    
     

    bash

    복사

    # cron job to fetch schedule at 8 AM every day 0 8 * * * /path/to/fetch_schedule.sh

  2. Home Automation:

    • Use IFTTT or Home Assistant 스포츠중계 to connect your Google Calendar or match schedule API to trigger DNS changes.

    • Set triggers like:

      • Match Start: Set DNS to Smart DNS for live streaming.

      • Match End: Revert to full VPN for the rest of the day.

    Example:

    • IFTTT Recipe: When a match starts (via Google Calendar event), set router DNS to Smart DNS.


4. Handle Overlapping Matches (Optional)

If multiple matches from different leagues overlap:

  1. Use multiple DNS rules for each match:

    • For instance, if both EPL and K-League matches are happening at the same time, assign Smart DNS to both streaming domains simultaneously.

  2. You could set up prioritization:

    • If you’re using a custom DNS resolver (via DNSMasq), you could prioritize which stream takes precedence if multiple matches overlap.

    • Example: If you’re watching EPL, give it higher priority to route through Smart DNS, while K-League uses secondary DNS rules.


???? Example Automation Workflow

  1. Fetch Fixture Data: Pull all league fixtures (EPL, K-League) for the week using an API.

  2. Input Matches to Calendar: Automatically add match start times to your Google Calendar.

  3. DNS Switching Automation: Use IFTTT or cron jobs to trigger Smart DNS at match start and revert back at match end.


???? Benefits

  • One system to manage multiple leagues’ schedules and ensure seamless streaming.

  • No manual switching between DNS and VPN.

  • Automated, real-time updates for when matches overlap or extend into extra time.


⚠️ Watch Outs

  • Timezone differences: Ensure the times for each match are adjusted to your local timezone.

  • API rate limits: Some APIs limit the number of calls you can make per day, so make sure you're not over-fetching.

  • Overlapping matches: Manage priority for which match to stream first if they overlap.


Q1: Can I automatically adjust DNS routing rules for overlapping events (e.g., EPL + K-League) without manual intervention?

Q2: How can I integrate multiple match schedules from different sources (e.g., local league fixtures + international events) into one unified automation?

Q3: What’s the best way to handle extended match times or extra time in automated scheduling systems for uninterrupted streaming?
