Good to know. You'd think they'd want to try out the new platform during spring training with fewer irate customers if things go wrong, but that would probably make too much sense. On the other hand, MLB AM is doing much better with streaming than any of the other pro sports platforms, so I won't question their methods too much.

If you end up in a jam coding-wise, let me know -- I do Python and C development by day and would do whatever I can to make sure I keep getting access to my games without using the infrior MLB.tv apps.

I know it's been a while, but is this still somehow on your radar ?

I know I'm probably missing something easy but if I fire up today's Dodgers game in mplayer2 and try to go full screen it simply puts a black border around the video without increasing the size of the video itself. Here are my settings:

Spring Training isn't just for the players and coaches. MLBAM is using this period to test their development so that when they start rolling out the official in the last week of Spring Training, it's not an untested pile of crap. But even then, there's issues of both scale and diversity that need to be sorted when rolled out to the public. I think they've been doing a great job ever since they switched to Yahoo's CDN architecture.

The web app isn't bad if Adobe hadn't given up on Linux years ago. To be perfectly honest, I love the Roku app so much that I barely use my own software now. I do use the virtual machine version at the office because it's easier than Cygwin.

I don't know what these are in reference to. I don't maintain a github.

hello, excited about this application you have here. having a little problem when trying to stream in HD. i copied the contents of mlbhls to /usr/local/bin/mlbhls and /usr/bin/mlbhls as per the wiki's install instructions (i tried one location then the other). either way i get this message when i have the config set up with mplayer:and this message when using mpv:
both mplayer and mpv stream fine in SD.

any idea what is going on with the mlbhls?

thanks

mlbhls: permission denied.

sudo chmod a+x $(which mlbhls) and you should be good to go.

Unless you get: mlbhls: not found and then check the INSTALL instructions again to see what you missed (or what I missed. It's possible I don't have every step listed.)

This is almost certainly an issue with your video output device selection / Direct-X configuration.

I don't remember much of this. I would simply be Googling so I pass it off to you.

Search for "mplayer2 vo fullscreen black borders" Or you could try adding, "-vo xv" to your mplayer line in your configuration.

You can use one of the -dl scripts in the test/ directory to produce a sample file which you can play with until you figure out either your mplayer command string or what X configuration may be missing. Also search for "mplayer X dri" if the above doesn't turn up something useful.

It looks like yet another iteration of driver issues with my onboard video, but I switched my video player to VLC and it works like a champ. It didn't matter too much yesterday since the game was radio only but I'm looking forward to throwing the game onto my TV to see the dammed D-backs play my boys this afternoon. I'll just have to get back from errands by 3 pm or else I'll be catching the start of the game on my phone. I have the download ceiling to do it, but I'd hate to miss a good play because I'm changing buses or walking home from the bus stop.

(ETA: I hadn't had much coffee when I looked at today's opponent. Or maybe my brain just doesn't want to see the damned snakes that stole our #2 ace, whether he's on the bump or not.)

i changed the permissions and still get the same error:

here are the mlbhls directory lists:

not sure why i can't get the w permissions in the first directory.

here is my config file in case that has a clue:
the sd stream is working great, thanks for putting this out there. just hope to get the hd stream working before mlb pulls the sd.

anybody else having issues with mlbclassics?
i run mlbclassics.py and get the error message:
i have the latest youtube-dl installed via pip, and i did the chmod a+x on /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl.

(running on ubuntu 15.10)

thanks

Short answer. Google deprecated the v2 API. It's broken on my end and I don't know if I'm likely to fix that any time soon.

I don't see the mlbhls binary. Did you compile this and copy it to a location in your PATH?

# make
# chmod +x mlbhls
# cp mlbhls /usr/bin

Ah. I see. Move those mlbhls directories out of your PATH. The compiled binary, not the source code directory is what goes in /usr/bin (or /usr/local/bin.)

# rm -rf /usr/bin/mlbhls
# mv /usr/local/bin/mlbhls /root
# cd /root/mlbhls
# make
# chmod +x mlbhls
# cp mlbhls /usr/bin

Verify with:

# mlbhls -h

If you get a usage statement, you're good. If you still get permission denied or not found, you missed or misread a step.
