Adding that, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mlbviewer.py", line 63, in <module>
except _curses.error:
NameError: name '_curses' is not defined

i downloaded the tarball last night, and was unable to get it working at around 9:30 pm PST; while the script was successfully launching mplayer, mplayer was not able to grab a stream.

however, this morning, i am able to watch archived games just fine.

one question though: is there support for the 1.2b feed? i tried putting "speed=1200" into my ~/.mlb/config, and the script wouldn't start up.

Huh... weird. That's the error that it raised before, and it seems, from looking around, like a pretty standard way to deal with it.

You have python 2.5, right? What platform? Distribution?

If you just have 'except:' with no '_curses.error', what happens?

No one was able to get live gimes last night. It sounds like, according to the Mosaic forums, that was mlb.com's fault. They had been slammed all day, so who knows? We'll see what happens today.

And 1200, it turns out, doesn't work. I think Theophile pointed this out, but it's not a straight download, but some sort of swarming thing that NexDef uses. Be cool if someone could figure it out, but it would take more than I know about network traffic, and it's not a high priority at the moment.

It works with just 'except:'

I also saw 'except: curses:error:' somewhere else in mlbviewer.py, so I tried removing just the underscore, and that made it work as well.

I'm using Debian/unstable i386 with Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 9 2008, 03:52:30)

Wow, sometimes I guess I should just look at the code I wrote last week. Thanks for that. Okay -- version with no underscore now checked in.

Still odd that it doesn't work on sid, since it does work on my Ubuntu, which is sid from 5 months ago or so, and other people's etch machines (don't remember when that went stable). I wonder if a bug has been introduced into their python setup somewhere along the way. Oh well, in any case, mlbviewer should catch it now.

Thanks for working though this.

I got the newest script working (kinda) but when I click a game it just gives me the url and then returns to the list of games....is this a known error?

Do you have debug turned on in your config?

Actually, could you post your config (with your email and passwd blanked of course)?

134 RBIs!

Live works! At least for the screensaver prior to the Angels Rangers game.

Knock on wood, but it's quite possible that last night was just the battered servers trying to screw up our little testing party.

EDIT: Party. It works.

jkr
user = x
pass = x
speed = 400
video_player = mplayer
audio_player = det
blackout = det
show_player_command = True
debug = True
audio_follow = det


I don't need any Tigers jokes...LOL

try turning debug off.

debug = False

Edit: Oh, and I think you mean audio_follow = det. audio_player should be the player: mplayer or xmms or whatever...

jkr brilliant

As annoying as that screensaver is, it's part of the feed so you're in.

#42 just drove in #42 and #42 just flied out to #42 to strand #42 on base. We go to the bottom half of the inning and the lineup that #42 will be facing is #42, followed by #42, and #42 after him.

Gotta love Jackie Day.

Gotta love being able to see it without being shut out by errors.

Big round of applause for daftcat, everyone.

As long as the Tigers keep beating up Minnesota, I'm a fan! That was a heckuva comeback last night. I was able to catch that live stream in the last couple innings.

Yesterday was a good day for the Central. KC regained first and everyone but Detroit held ground or lost ground. I wish I could watch the ChiSox game today but I'm in the oak blackout region.

Go Royals!

Oh and yeah, as you figured out, debug is for figuring out errors getting that url. The application is not meant to run with debugging on.
