i downloaded the tarball last night, and was unable to get it working at around 9:30 pm PST; while the script was successfully launching mplayer, mplayer was not able to grab a stream.
however, this morning, i am able to watch archived games just fine.
one question though: is there support for the 1.2b feed? i tried putting "speed=1200" into my ~/.mlb/config, and the script wouldn't start up.
Huh... weird. That's the error that it raised before, and it seems, from looking around, like a pretty standard way to deal with it.
You have python 2.5, right? What platform? Distribution?
If you just have 'except:' with no '_curses.error', what happens?

No one was able to get live gimes last night. It sounds like, according to the Mosaic forums, that was mlb.com's fault. They had been slammed all day, so who knows? We'll see what happens today.
And 1200, it turns out, doesn't work. I think Theophile pointed this out, but it's not a straight download, but some sort of swarming thing that NexDef uses. Be cool if someone could figure it out, but it would take more than I know about network traffic, and it's not a high priority at the moment.
I also saw 'except: curses:error:' somewhere else in mlbviewer.py, so I tried removing just the underscore, and that made it work as well.
Wow, sometimes I guess I should just look at the code I wrote last week. Thanks for that. Okay -- version with no underscore now checked in.
Still odd that it doesn't work on sid, since it does work on my Ubuntu, which is sid from 5 months ago or so, and other people's etch machines (don't remember when that went stable). I wonder if a bug has been introduced into their python setup somewhere along the way. Oh well, in any case, mlbviewer should catch it now.
I got the newest script working (kinda) but when I click a game it just gives me the url and then returns to the list of games....is this a known error?
Live works! At least for the screensaver prior to the Angels Rangers game.
Knock on wood, but it's quite possible that last night was just the battered servers trying to screw up our little testing party.
As annoying as that screensaver is, it's part of the feed so you're in.
#42 just drove in #42 and #42 just flied out to #42 to strand #42 on base. We go to the bottom half of the inning and the lineup that #42 will be facing is #42, followed by #42, and #42 after him.

I don't need any Tigers jokes...LOL
As long as the Tigers keep beating up Minnesota, I'm a fan! That was a heckuva comeback last night. I was able to catch that live stream in the last couple innings.
Yesterday was a good day for the Central. KC regained first and everyone but Detroit held ground or lost ground. I wish I could watch the ChiSox game today but I'm in the oak blackout region.
