I will likely fix the speed option to include nexdef speeds but for now, speed= option is used for non-nexdef operation. Nexdef uses a different option called max_bps. max_bps defaults to 800K. To get 3000K, you'll need to add/modify this option to read:
Code:
max_bps=3000000
That's 3 million.
As for the picture, you can try adding "-vo xv" to your video_player line. If that doesn't work, please rebuild mplayer AFTER you have followed the instructions at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/video.html. Pay special attention to 8.1 and 8.2. Make sure when you run ./configure that xv is in the "Enabled optional drivers" under "Video output".

'config.h' and 'config.mak' contain your configuration options.
Note: If you alter theses files (for instance CFLAGS) MPlayer may no longer
compile *** DO NOT REPORT BUGS if you tweak these files ***
'make' will now compile MPlayer and 'make install' will install it.
Note: On non-Linux systems you might need to use 'gmake' instead of 'make'.
Please check mtrr settings at /proc/mtrr (see DOCS/HTML/en/video.html#mtrr)
Check configure.log if you wonder why an autodetection failed (make sure
development headers/packages are installed).
NOTE: The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely
skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from
autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater
level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler
and linker flags yourself.
If you used one of these options (except --enable-gui and similar ones that
turn on internal features) and experience a compilation or linking failure,
make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags to configure.
If you suspect a bug, please read DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html.

No xv in the video output. In fact it appears in the list of disables optional drivers. How do I put it in the correct part?

If you're using Ubuntu, install the xv development files. It will probably also pull in some other files it is dependent on.
Code:
sudo apt-get install libxv-dev
If you're not using Ubuntu, then the library will probably be called something different, like libxv-devel, and the command to install it will be different.
Ok, done that and the video now displays, but it keeps freezing while the audio goes on (this is on an archived game). Once again I am getting the 'only consumed one bytes of ####' error, shown in this screenshot:
Ok, done that and the video now displays, but it keeps freezing while the audio goes on (this is on an archived game). Once again I am getting the 'only consumed one bytes of ####' error, shown in this screenshot:
The "only consumed..." errors are "normal" right now. Something is either up with the file or with the decoder, but it is not a real error in the sense that it breaks anything; everyone currently gets this. I'm not sure about your freezing problems though...
1) Do you have the proper screen resolution for this stream? Since the 3000K stream is 1280x720, you should have your screen resolution set to at least that much.
2) Do you have enough bandwidth? Use an online speed test to verify that you have at least 3 Mbps download.
3) Do you have enough CPU/RAM? I can't personally answer this one but I believe that last time I asked for stats and resolutions, I'd estimate that a 1.8 Ghz with 1 GB RAM should be the minimum requirement for mlbviewer plus mplayer.
4) Do you have a "sane" video_player command? One that works well for most is:
-fs is recommended because any downshifting of speed from nexdef won't jerk the mplayer window out of fullscreen if started in fullscreen
-autosync is recommended to solve basic (small) discrepancies in audio and video synchronizaton. Often these are network issues beyond the control of mplayer but occasionally mplayer can detect and fix sync issues.
-really-quiet will usually hide all those "consumed only xxxx bytes" errors which can often have a negative impact on playback performance.
how does the LIRC stuff work? I've surmised so far that "mlbviewer" should be the "prog" string (I think). I've discovered that so long as I'm in my home directory when I start mlbviewer that the log says "LIRC initialized". What are the "config" strings? Are they the "Jump", "Flash" etc. strings or the keys themselves, "q", "f", etc?
note--i've set up LIRC and my remote and I've configured LIRC for other programs before.
thanks

Never mind. It appears my problem was attempting to "Include" the mlb configuration into .lircrc. I also monkeyed with the LIRC code to better suit myself.
I really have no idea how the lirc code works. I don't have a setup to test it with. That code was put in by Jesse because he thought it would be useful. I'm not even sure he had a setup to test with because I discovered earlier this year that it was never being initialized correctly.
The words like 'Flash', 'Jump', etc are presumably just comments. That's how I've been using them. As far as I know, there would be no curses or lirc input that would generate those strings. I could be wrong, though. Like I said, I've never messed with lirc before.
begin
prog = mlbviewer
button = cancel
config = Exit
repeat = 0
end
LIRC passes the "config" string (as well as other info) to its socket. The beauty of how you set up the commands is that you can make this config string the "friendly" names like Exit, Flash etc. and this decouples the LIRC config from the actual keystroke shortcuts, so if you wanted to you could allow users to change their shortcut keys without affecting LIRC commands at all.
As it is currently implemented, the LIRC code is reading the raw data from the LIRC socket and parsing the lirc config file on it's own, and it doesn't take into account the "repeat" strings or some of the more advanced features. The main problem I was having was trying to use "include" to import the configuration for mlbviewer into the main ~/.lircrc file; this command is not recognized by the code.
I've written some basic code that uses the pylirc module, which does all the footwork of parsing the config file and setting up the LIRC socket, and implements the repeat and other features. If you would like, when I make sure it works real well I can pass it over to you and write up some LIRC documentation for the README. Pylirc need not be a requirement, if it fails to import we can just disable LIRC.

Cool. Okay.
I'm still not sure what you mean by importing the configuration for mlbviewer. Surely you're not talking about the config file which makes no sense. I'm assuming you were creating a separate file for mlbviewer commands and then using an include or import command in the main .lircrc file? Okay, that makes sense.
I'll keep using the string commands too. I never knew they were actually useful for anything other than commenting.
I can't see Dodgers condensed games since 05/23. Something changed? I'm using revision 207. Regards.
Same here. I haven't been able to watch a condensed game now for any team for few days.
I get the below in the terminal and then it reverts back to the listings.
On their web page the condensed games are free, like the 'top plays'... have they always been this way or is this something new?

daftcat I'd like to say thank you for all your work. I was a mlbviewer user last season and I suffered through the stuttering and popup windows of the flash player for as long as I could before coming back again this season. Now I have perfect HD video (just in time to play it on my brand new HDTV)
linuxphan (or anyone else that may be working on it), any update on the Boxee plugin? Baseball inside Boxee would mean I would never have to leave the app and I could finally put my keyboard away for good.
