I was referring to the earlier posts using WINE to load M$ software. I just do not like the mix. But, I see where it is truly an Adobe issue. That, indeed, makes it a pickle. I will keep my opinions regarding M$ to myself and try to contribute rather than bash. Okay?

Cheers!

Stray ol' buddy. Would Mlbviewer have ever been developed if it wasn't for Silverlight, a Microsoft creation?

hi
i've had this same problem before, but i just had to reinstall my 10.04 (again) and tried installing nexdef2010 and am getting this error when i start a game
Buffering stream/bin/sh: rtmpdump: not found

last time i had this problem i had to make sure "make posix" works. now everytime I do make posix i get:
make: *** No rule to make target `posix'. Stop.

I never remember getting this message or being stuck on this. what's going on. can't get rtmpdump to work

You'll need to download rtmpdump source code. I'd use 2.2c because I am finding an issue with the newer versions producing bad FLV containers. Extract that tarball into a directory, change to the directory where it was extracted (probably called "rtmpdump-2.2c") and there type "make posix". Then you can copy the resulting "rtmpdump" file to /usr/local/bin/rtmpdump or similar.

The latest SVN - up seems to have borked my mlbviewer. How do I undue the upgrade?

You can update to a specific revision with the -r option. I believe the last update was revision 266...so you would want 265? The update worked fine for me though...

Code:

svn update -r 265

daftcat · 09-03-2010, 08:13 PM

266 is nothing but a typo fix.

Try performing checkout again.

Oh no, did MLB change something again?

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mlbviewer.py", line 1499, in <module>
    curses.wrapper(mainloop, mycfg.data)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/curses/wrapper.py", line 44, in wrapper
    return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
  File "mlbviewer.py", line 1218, in mainloop
    myscr.addstr(1,0,u)
_curses.error: addstr() returned ERR

Do you also get this error? Thanks...

I'm getting the same error for the 1200k feed for MIL @ PHI. The 1800 gives me the usual does not exist error, and the 800k feed gives me a login error. (All feeds the home team, PHI.)

Ok, so I did a little research and the error is that curses is throwing an exception trying to display the command. So, if you're having this error, go to your mlbviewer config file (~/.mlb/config) and change the show player command to 0, i.e. show_player_command=0

Then it's back to glorious glorious mlbviewer!

Wow, nice catch! Thank you so much.

Any one else having problems with not being able to login? I'm getting a verification error even through the flash player.

chrisVV · 09-21-2010, 01:11 PM

I am not getting a problem with login as such (I don't think), but with an MLB basic account, from some time since Sunday the name format of the streams seems to have changed. All games fail with "An error occurred in locating the game stream" error. In debug mode I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./mlbviewer.py", line 1499, in <module>
curses.wrapper(mainloop, mycfg.data)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/curses/wrapper.py", line 44, in wrapper
return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
File "./mlbviewer.py", line 1193, in mainloop
u = g.url()
File "/usr/local/src/mlbviewer/mlbviewer/MLBviewer/mlbtv.py", line 1254, in url
'sessionKey': urllib.unquote(self.cookies['ftmu']),
KeyError: 'ftmu'

Using the flashplayer in mozilla works (apart from the poor quality pictures from lack of video acceleration), but not when launched via the 'f' key.

Help!

After my problem resolved itself, I got this error. I'm not sure if it's right or good, but I went to mlbtv.py and commented out line 1254 and another similar line 1304. I'm watching baseball right now (yesterday's ATL @ PHI game) so .. there's that I guess.

To comment out a line, put a # in front of the code, so that line 1254 looks like this:
# 'sessionKey': urllib.unquote(self.cookies['ftmu']),
