Cannot retrieve PLAYER SCORE over BCP interface to external RPI DMD

[TheSilverSquadron]

Our goal is to build a PC running MPF with an external DMD connected to a RPI.
In order to show the players SCORES, we need to retrieve this information from the BCP interface events content.
I use the following simple python code to 'monitor' the PCB events on localhost port 5050 for now,
I use the 'DEMO-MAN' example game and start the game (mpf -X) . Then run python script below where
i start the game using switch 's_start' and add points with 's_left_slingshot'.
The issue is that I ONLY see the 'trigger' event every second, but not any 'score' event.
Any help would be very much appreciated...
Kind regards,

with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.bind(("localhost" , 5050 ))
s.listen()
conn, addr = s.accept()
with conn:
data = conn.recv(1024)
print(data)
conn.sendall(b'hello?version=1.1\n')
time.sleep(1)
conn.sendall(b'reset_complete\n')

    data = conn.recv(1024)
    print(data) 
    time.sleep(1)
    print('Start Demolition Man')
    conn.sendall(b'switch?name=s_start&state=1\n')
    conn.sendall(b'switch?name=s_start&state=0\n')

    while True:
        time.sleep(0.1)
        print('Get response from MPF')   
        data = conn.recv(1024)
        print(data)            
        time.sleep(1)
        conn.sendall(b'switch?name=s_left_slingshot&state=1\n')
        conn.sendall(b'switch?name=s_left_slingshot&state=0\n')

To subscribe to player variable events, send the command monitor_start?category=player_vars from your BCP client and MPF will register it for any player variable updates, including score.

Other "category" values you may be interested in are core_events, service_events, modes, and machine_vars
