I stopped there for fear of making things worse.

In addition, when I tried to check for any updates to mlbviewer, I got the following:
Code:
svn up
Skipped '.'
Summary of conflicts:
  Skipped paths: 1
It didn't seem to matter which directory of mlbviewer I was in. Also, this is with a fresh install. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Find libconfig in YaST and install the development package (libconfig-dev or maybe libconfig-devel, libconfig8-dev, or libconfig9-dev, or something along those lines.) Once that is installed, you will also need libcurl-dev and libssl-dev. Find those in YaST and install them too. libcurl-dev may be hiding as libcurl4-openssl-dev. Once you have all of these prerequisites installed, run make in the mlbhls directory again. If it completes without errors, copy mlbhls to /usr/local/bin (sudo cp mlbhls /usr/local/bin).

Thanks. It looks like that took care of my problem installing mlbhls, but I am still having trouble with getting the latest version of mlbviewer - unless sf-8 is the latest. When I run the 'svn up' command, I still get the following:
Code:
svn up
Skipped '.'
Summary of conflicts:
  Skipped paths: 1
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

Hi!

I'm getting ready for the start of the season, and decided to venture into mlbplay.py for the first time... Turns out that condensed games don't work. Here's a small fix for that (condensed games were missed in the change made in http://sourceforge.net/p/mlbviewer/code/473):

Code:
diff -r 748f0dbacf61 mlbplay.py
--- a/mlbplay.py        Tue Mar 25 03:02:14 2014 +0000
+++ b/mlbplay.py        Fri Mar 28 01:54:36 2014 +0200
@@ -209,7 +209,7 @@
             if streamtype ==  'video':
                 media.append(available[n][2])
             elif streamtype == 'condensed':
-                media = available[n][2]
+                media.append(available[n][2])
                 condensed_media = available[n][4]
             else:
                 media.append(available[n][3])
Thanks!

Good catch!

I've tested and checked in your patch. I also checked in a few other minor fixes.

Also, late last season I added "Free Game Of The Day" support. So all season long, whenever you see "[FREE]", that means you don't need an MLB.TV subscription to watch it. Just make sure you have your mlb.com (free registration) user= and pass= in your config.

Yes, I remember that. Great feature! This weekend, all games (or at least those with telecasts) are free.

When trying to play the audio feeds, I'm getting this error:

Requesting media: ('KIRO', u'136', '31666365', '14-396259-2014-03-29')File "-" not found.

Is this a mplayer issue?

revisiting the mlbhls -f vs -F issue

Recent adopter of MLBviewer. Not sure how many kin I’ll have here, but I’m running Mac OS X 10.9.2 with MLBviewer revision 590 and mlbhls revision 67 with the video player mpv v0.3.6--which, as I understand it, is the successor to mplayer2--built with ffmpeg 2.2. I quite like the setup overall, but I’m having the seeking problems that others have described. When watching nexdef streams using MLBviewer, I’m unable to seek. But using the following options; which daftcat offered in response to kermitfan22 last August (on page 279); I can get a stream that is seekable by mpv and vlc (I can’t get mplayer2 to build):


python mlbplay.py v=team j=mm/dd/yy n=1 nu=1

[aHR0...]

mlbhls -B [aHR0...] -L -s 4500000 -f 1 -o video.ts

mpv video.ts


I’d like to get a seekable stream from MLBviewer even if that means using -f instead of -F in the mlbhls options and losing support for inning selection. Alternatively, I’ve looked at fang2415’s patch to mlb.c in mlbhls, but I don’t know how it works, or I’m implementing it incorrectly (I don’t code) because the streams from MLBviewer remain unseekable. Though I am able to seek (using mpv or vlc) in the following file:

mlbhls -B [aHR0...] -L -s 4500000 -F "hh:mm:ss" -o video.ts

I'd greatly appreciate any pointers, especially re fang2415's patch to -F and the way that MLBviewer uses -F
I'm also curious about the extent of adoption of mpv.

What is your audio_player= setting?

Code:
$ grep audio_player ~/.mlb/config
Also, make sure you have rtmpdump installed.

Hello everyone.

I have been reading through the forum and looking online and was wondering if anyone could point me to a post or an article that could help a relative linux noob set this up for the upcoming season. I am not completely helpless but am relatively new to linux.

I am currently running Linux Mint and have mlb.tv premium.

If the articles from 2012 are still accurate I can follow those but I am not sure if they are still applicable.

Thanks in advance.

Mosi

I wrote an article about setting mlbviewer last year but my site was closed last fall. Luckily the Internet Archive has it for their Wayback Machine: http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130...mlbviewer-2013
