Windows 8, mate. The wiki barely mentions how to install mlbviewer on it. :(

How about you tell me how far you got and where you are stuck? I may not get a chance to install a Windows VM and write up the procedure until the weekend. |

See if you can follow the procedure here: https://sourceforge.net/p/mlbviewer/wiki/Cygwin/ |
I cannot however verify the media actually plays correctly. Work firewall blocks the RTMP port and the nexdef stream has yet to work for me. It may be network but I suspect the windows build is not quite on parity with the Linux build.
At least you have GPU acceleration of Flash in Windows so the Flash experience may not be so terrible if we cannot find a suitable media player for Windows. |

I figured out the problem, my video is messed up if I have a certain game (Europa Universalis IV) running minimized. |

Edit: looks like I sorted it out. Didn't mention the --build in the libconfig....Or had the libcurl file |
I created a "remote control" app for mlbplay that allows to select a game to watch via a webinterface. This lets you use a phone or tablet to start watching a game on a different computer (e.g. a media pc connected to the TV). It wraps very thinly around mlbplay and uses some of the functionality from mlbviewer to get a list of available games.
Since LQ doesn't allow me to post links in the first post, I will follow up with a link to the GitHub page and more details. |
Feature Request: Alternate Audio
Just watching the Angels/Braves game today and only the Braves video feed is available today. What I do in these cases is mute the audio in the video player, launch a second copy of mlbviewer and listen to the Angels audio feed in there. It would be nice if there was an option to do this in the one player possibly with some amount of automation in these cases. It may require launching two separate copies of mplayer in the background and not sure what can be done to help keep the two feeds in sync (that is always a problem when I have to do this because I hate having to listen to the other teams feed). |
I too would like audio overlay, so I don't have to listen to Joe Buck
|
That's already in the Nexdef stream. If you use mplayer/mplayer2/mpv, you can switch between TV and radio broadcasts using the # key in the mplayer window (mlbviewer doesn't pass input to mplayer) after playback begins.

Can't get nexdef to work right. I'm getting cache errors, here.
Also, does anyone know how to record the streams to play it offline?? |

As for recording, it's a grey area of the Terms And Service. It is not explicitly forbidden (like using proxies to circumvent blackouts--don't even ask me for that), but it is also not a feature of the MLB.TV service. In fact, it may even step on a revenue stream as I believe individual games are available for purchase from iTunes. So I'll say it is possible to use mlbviewer to record, but I'm not going to say how. You may want to read the documentation of your media player. |
