Thanks daftcat, sounds good!

Let me know if you encounter any more SOR's. If it works well, I will update the sourceforge release this weekend.

If you are using SVN, 2014-sf-3 is SVN revision 635. If you do an svn up, you don't need to download 2014-sf-3.

Among other bug fixes, a couple of minor changes went into revision 633 and 634. The default configuration file has been greatly reduced with most options taking default values. The default configuration file only contains the most useful options now with a pointer to the wiki page for a complete list of options. As a result of this, the README file has been cut in half with only the essentials to get started and a pointer to the Wiki for more complete documentation.

So as I was watching Buerhle dominate my team yesterday, I wanted to see what his career numbers were and how close he might get to 300 wins. But without knowing how old he is, that became a difficult task. So I added birth dates to player stats. But what about old time players? Obviously Christy Mathewson is not still with us, so I added death dates to deceased players as well.

Another change I made this weekend was to reduce the default configuration file and with it, trim the README. The default configuration file now contains the 10 most important settings (at least from a "let's get going quickly" point of view) instead of every setting under the sun. This meant I can also trim the README in half and point users to the Wiki for more information.

If you get a chance, I encourage you to backup your config by moving it to another name and then run mlbviewer to generate a new default configuration file. Configure the new file with your must-have settings and let me know which settings you absolutely needed to add to get up and running again. Many settings, while definitely useful (video_follow/audio_follow, top_plays_player), are not absolutely required to get started.

Also, if you can review the new README, let me know if there is anything that should absolutely be in the README. If there is something that shouldn't absolutely be in the README but should be documented somewhere, like the Wiki, let me know that too.

I'm getting an MLB_HOME_TEAM_BLACKOUT error when trying to listen with a Gameday Audio-only subscription. It looks like this has been an issue in the past. Is this simply not supported due to most people not using audio-only accounts? Is nexdef needed for audio-only?

Edit: Nevermind, got audio with:

If that was a video stream, that's a blackout and you'd be S.O.L. But I believe audio streams are exempt from blackouts so I'll have a look into it the next time my blackout teams are live (tomorrow morning.)

I'm glad you have a workaround until then.

Can you post your ~/.mlb/blackout.xml file? Whenever you encounter a blackout status like the one above, the full media response containing this blackout status gets written to this file.

Will do when I get back to that computer. I recall it looked like it was requesting video.

I reviewed the code and tested this just now. It looks like that code can only be triggered through video. Did you press Enter or "a"? Enter = video, a = audio.

In the latest SVN revision (639 or higher), I have added a gameday_audio= config file option. If gameday_audio=1, the Enter key will be remapped to the AUDIO action.

This change should have no effect unless you add "gameday_audio=1" to your config. I have tested this as best as I can but wouldn't mind if MLB.TV basic and premium subscribers updated to 639 (without adding that option to their config) and let me know that everything still continues to work as before.

EDIT: The one place where this new option is going to fail is the Free MLB.TV Game Of The Day. If you are an audio-only subscriber and want to use the gameday_audio=1 option, I would create a custom keybinding file to remap video action to "v" if you want to also watch the video stream for the FREE game of the day.

I was hitting ENTER, not "a"...

639 is working for me, in my limited testing (free video, audio, "VIDEO=v", gameday_audio=1).

Thanks!

Trying to watch Red Sox @ Tigers (ESPN), audio works but the screen is completely green. Tried 1800, 2400 and nexdef. I can watch it in my browser just fine.

Which player are you using?

Archive looks okay. Don't know what to tell you.

Any one has success in getting mlbviewer to work in windows? I'm struggling badly

Are you using cygwin? That would be a required first step.

See if the Wiki instructions work for cygwin:

https://sourceforge.net/p/mlbviewer/wiki/INSTALL/

Install a windows build of mpv for the video_player.

And post specific errors if you want specific answers.

Also, what version of Windows are we talking about? I had it working with cygwin under XP awhile back.
