Publishing Live Results on the Internet
On the page Services you find Results Online. This service exports competition data in various formats, either as a file or as a direct upload to a web server. To publish results on orientering.se/liveresultat, see MeOS Resources.Hint
You can save this service in the competition, to quickly restart it if needed. Use the button Save Settings. Passwords will not be saved in the competition, but locally on the computer that you use. Optionally, you can give the service a Name.
Use the list Classes to choose which classes you wish to export results for.

The format MeOS Online Protocol (MOP) sends changes in the competition, finish times, start times and control punches, in a compact way. Version 2.0 has more efficient handling of deleted competitors and teams, and should be used when the receiver can handle it. Details of the protocol and example code to get a web server running can be found here: MeOS Resources. It is also possible to export files using IOF-XML format, but file size can then be an issue.
The option Compress large files packages large files into a zip archive.
Send to the web sends files directly to a web server. The Competition ID number and Password is defined by the web server.
Save to disk saves files in a folder on your computer. You must supply a Filename prefix. The saved files are numbered consecutively and are named: Filename prefix + number.xml. Script to run after export is a script of yours run after each export (cf. Exporting Lists to the Internet).
Hint
If you use MeOS Online Protocol and you have a stable internet connection, you can try to set the export interval to 0 (leave blank). MeOS will then update the competition as soon as a data change is detected.

Controls
Select which controls you want to publish. The default is controls with a defined name (see Controls) or controls with radio punches (the number of exported controls will increase if new controls get radio punches).MeOS Insight
If the Internet connection is slow (or has long response times) it may happen that the upload takes time. Therefore it is suitable to use a dedicated MeOS client to handle the upload to avoid blocking other usage. In other words, start a separate MeOS process with only this task. It is of course possible to run several MeOS processes on the same computer.
