Login unsuccessful, if it's a transient problem, ignore it. If it's happening all the time, you are probably not using the latest release. They changed a little thing on the login page that I was pattern matching on (mlb.com to MLB.com) and that broke it all. Please update to either 0.1alpha7 or if you are using the svn releases, update to the latest svn release. If you're still having trouble with 0.1alpha7 or svn revision 81, then turn on debug and check the log file to see what the login page looks like (or just post/email that log file to me.) |

MLB.com uses two different file types for communicating information between its various applications and websites like Gameday and Mosaic. Most of the pages now use the xml files but watching games using the web page I believe uses the jsp files. I'm actually not sure where the jsp files are used (other than mlbviewer.) When Jesse wrote mlbviewer (I didn't actually write this but I've taken on the role of maintaining it while Jesse is off doing who knows what--school), he used the jsp pages and that's the framework we've used. There are some jsp's out there that we don't use (yet) that has things like standings and pitchers. But most of the cool stuff is in the xml's. Unfortunately, as my brief experiment with a scoreboard app taught me, xml's are harder to work with because the structure is a little looser. A sample jsp, the listing for tomorrow's games can be found here: http://mlb.mlb.com/components/game/y...amesbydate.jsp Here's a few other jsp's that we don't use: Schedule with pitchers information: http://mlb.mlb.com/components/schedu...le_20080709.js Standings: http://mlb.mlb.com/components/game/y...ings_rs_nlw.js The xml's available (we don't use any of these) can be found poking around their directory structure here: http://gdx.mlb.com/components/ Hope that clear it up. Cheers! M |
Reporting problems
Just a reminder, if you're reporting a problem, please tell me what version code you are using.
If you're using a sourceforge release, you can find the version from the help screen by pressing 'h'. If you're using an svn revision (the version string from help will contain 'svn' such as 0.1alpha7svn), please copy the output of svn info from the mlbviewer directory: Code:
matthew@tango:~/mlbtv/svn/mlbviewer$ svn info |

I am on night shift tonight so I will probably watch one of the games if it is quiet. Dont really have a favourite team but if I had to choose I would go for Pittsburg as that is a cold northern city much like my hometown ( Bolton ) , Dont like the Red Sox or the Yankees as they remind me of Manchester United and Chelsea soccer teams they are only popular because they have a lot of money . Once again keep up the great work! Sir Rod |
I'm having problems listening to the Yankees game live at the moment. *
The system appears to be trying to connect to 'web.servicebureau.net' but I can't ping that although I can ping other sites OK. Version:- 0.1alpha7svn http://sourceforge.net/projects/mlbviewer * Have just tested and none of the options appear to be working :-( |
Hmm you go away for two days and DNS falls apart!! (http://securosis.com/2008/07/08/dan-...patch-released) Just applying some patches now will post if it fixes the problem.
|
I hope your patches fix your woes because there's really nothing mlbviewer can do once it has given you the url.
P.S. I notice your version string contains 'svn' which means you are using an svn revision. When reporting issues with svn revisions, it is important to include which revision you are using. That can be found out with the svn info command from the mlbviewer directory. Crossing my fingers for you... ~M |
MiLBviewer released (minor league baseball)
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
I branched mlbviewer to support milbviewer and I'm finally releasing it. It's not nearly as mature as mlbviewer. Some of that is development challenges (aka laziness) such as way more team codes to support, and others are architectural differences (milb.tv only supports 350K, doesn't support condensed games or top plays, and the audio listings and video listings are separate pages instead of a single page for mlb.tv.) The sourceforge project page is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/milbviewer The svn command would be: Code:
svn co https://milbviewer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/milbviewer milbviewer Cheers, Matthew PS Like MLB.tv, you will need an MiLB.tv account to view any content. At least it's cheap. |
I am not sure if this is widely known; using VLC as your player with mlbviewer, you can watch multiple game simultaneously.
Simply open another terminal, run mlbviewer, and select a different game. I mute the sounds on the other games I have running. I did this last season, it's a great way to watch hot division and wild card races late in the year. |
I was running alpha 6, and it was generally working fine until the login change or whatever last week. Today I finally got around to updating to 7 from sourceforge, and it's now able to login. I go into the game and it plays for maybe a minute before crapping out (there's a freeze, and then a loud something I can only describe as a "blort", and then the video window dies). Restart it - same thing. But when I go to my Windows machine, it plays perfectly.
The Linux machine has a wired connection, as opposed to the wireless for the Windows, so it shouldn't be a connection/bandwidth thing. Any other ideas? Thanks! |
here's an interesting one:
i'm looking in mlbviewer at yesterday's listings, since for some &*!#$ reason todays giants @ cubs is blacked out here... i click on yesterdays marlins @ dodgers game....and get an inning of a world series game from about 1980? that doesn't seem like mlbviewers fault tho... |

If it's just a status flag, you can click on through it and let the media server tell you whether you are really blacked out. If it's actually the media server telling you that you're blacked out, then there's nothing I can do to get around that. re: world series innings Cool! :-) Bonus! Sorry, I can't really do anything about media server weirdness. |
