I got word from my MLB guy that a new nexdef is on its way. Actually, I see 104 is posted if anyone wants to try it. Use 7-zip either on Windows or through wine to extract the Archive.pax file, then run "pax -r < Archive.pax" and find the autobahn.jar file to extract a directory tree starting with Library. Somewhere in there is the autobahn.jar file ("Library/Application\ Support/Swarmcast/lib/autobahn.jar".)

He told me when they've got the final one ready, he'll post the jar to the unofficial download location. Until then, please don't host your own copy of this file.

Initial testing shows archived games still don't work correctly. I asked him before what was going on with that. I'll check with him again.

I'm a complete noobie here so please help. I have searched through the thread for this but was unable to find a solution.

A little more information here. I ran through defcats post #2728 but I ran into some errors.
1. easy_install pyxml would not work. So I found the python-lxml from the ubuntu repositories. Is that the same or similar package? If not is there another that I should install?
2. Running the make posix for the rtmpdump gives me this:

1. Do you have python's setuptools installed? easy_install is in python-setuptools. To answer your question, python-lxml is a similar package to pyxml but in this case won't work because everything is named differently and has different interfaces. Is there no package just called "pyxml" in the repositories either? Also, were you running easy_install as root? that is necessary.

And actually, after a brief glance at the source, it appears that only the xml.dom.minidom package is used, which is included already in recent version of Python, so once you get everything else going you might not even need the pyxml package (depending if I missed anything in my glance at the code).

2. This one I can fix--install the openssl-devel package, or whatever Ubuntu calls it.

daftcat · 05-14-2010, 01:53 PM

Thanks for helping out, poorboywilly!

1. easy_install on pyxml breaks on something stupid and unnecessary but if you were able to get the listings, then it was able to install what you need. If you want the warm fuzzy feeling of seeing a successful pyxml installation, you can install the python-dev package and run the easy_install again:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
$ sudo easy_install pyxml

But since you already have the listings working, this isn't necessary.

2. On my ubuntu (a very old one, but still might be the same), the package you need is called libssl-dev:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

As for your other post, the "could not connect to socket" message can be ignored. That's mplayer trying to use lirc for serial port IR remote.

The money line is "no such file" which tells me rtmpdump isn't doing its job. As I can see from above, you don't have rtmpdump installed so that confirms it.

I just installed a Debian type of distribution, Xubuntu and the easy_install pyxml works okay... you just can't tell because of all the error messages. Ignore them, apparently they are meaningless because Mlbviewer is working fine.

Thanks daftcat,
I was able to get libssl-dev installed and the make posix now compiles fine with no errors. I then copied the rtmpdump to /usr/bin/rtmpdump as instructed. However, I am still getting the same error when trying to stream an archived game.

Try this:

Code:

$ sudo chown -R kim mlbviewer-svn
$ sudo chown -R kim ~/.mlb

Then try again with the test script to produce a few seconds of audio (Ctrl-C after a few seconds), and run mplayer over that and post that log here.

daftcat:

I've been trying to get this running - trying different things - reinstall components, etc. - drink a beer - start over. Anyway, I still can't get it running on my Debian, but I did get it running on my Fedora, although I'm not quite sure what I did.

When trying to start up gamedayaudio, I was getting an error
"libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory",
so after 'googling' this and looking at a few possible fixes, I tried this:

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libssl.so.1.0.0 libssl.so.0.9.8
sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.1.0.0 libcrypto.so.0.9.8

Then for what seem like the upteenth time, started it up - and was stunned when I actually heard the game.

Thanks for help on this.

And oh yes - go Phillies!

mchapter · 05-14-2010, 06:02 PM

Daftcat-
This is more of an advanced usage question, but is there a way to specify to soapevent.py the home or away feed and bitrate? I guess a command line parameter to mlbviewer.py is kinda what I'm shooting for. (I'm going out to dinner in a little bit, but for various reasons the most satisfactory way I've found to watch a game is either to start it caching when the game starts, or wait until it ends and then start caching it using soapevent.py) What I find is that either I don't want to be waiting around for the game to start (hello cron!) or if I wait till the game ends, I can't specify the feed and bitrate with soapevent.py.

Thanks for your help!

Hi, I think I missed something with the nexdef quality. I have the .jar from 4/8/2010 and have it running and mlbviewer is running but I can not get HD. When I remove the 800 from speed=800 set it to speed= I get parser errors when running mlbviewer. I think I missed something in getting mlbviewer to recognize that the JAR file is running. I have the .conf file set to use_nexdef=1 and set max_bps=3000000. So when mlbviewer is running is see 800[--]. I will be sorting thru the past posts, trying to find the answer. Probably something quit simple. Thanks to all the programmers for their hard work. Linux nation thanks you.

The short story is that unless you're on the nexdef branch, you're not getting nexdef. As for the state of the branch and whether or not you want to use it, that's up to you. I think the posts about the nexdef branch are back about 40 posts or so...

Same here for PIT @ PHI in standard mlbviewer, I'm about to try nexdef, etc.
