If you've noticed the appearance of Unknown Teamcode in game listings yesterday and today (or maybe you'll notice them tomorrow...), I've added those team codes to the dictionary.

That's all this revision does.

It looks like the 2010 NexDef plugin is available for download for Mac and Windows. Has anyone managed to get this working on Linux yet?

Tried it and the java -jar command from last year just bailed on me:

Can we have a MacOS X user (edouble?) install it and do a "ps -ef | grep autobahn" to see if the command-line has changed from last year?

Anyway, the streams still aren't available in NexDef yet and the stream names have changed from last year so the mlbviewer code isn't ready for this year's nexdef. Need the new strings from the SOAP replies and need the plugin to stay up in order to get the code working this year.

May only be because I always start in DEBUG mode, but this morning, mlbviewer was crashing because the status string got too big. I can't remember what turns on the "Condensed Game Available" status but combined with "(no audio available)", status string got too long for the term width. I shortened the media indicators to "no audio", "no video", and "no media" and that fixed the addstr crash.

ps -ef | grep autobahn output:

503 82479 82475 0 0:00.00 ttys000 0:00.00 grep autobahn

There are no hd games till monday it seems...

edit: it looks like there is a hidden folder name ".autobahn" in my home folder with some cache information, if it would help I could email this to you daftcat

edit #2: It looks like autobahn is playing the non-hd streams. When I click on "quality" in the flash player, it pops up that I have nextdef installed and lets me choose between 5 different quality levels. I confirmed this by looking at the logfile from autobahn which says it has "livestreamer.AdaptiveBitrateRtmptHandler" followed by a game link

oh and beside that, the quality is greatly improved

ok folks...

good news! I found a autobahn.jar in the installer, ran the autobahn uninstall script to make sure I had no nexdef installed...

ran the jar file and the nexdef streams work in the flash player... I will test on my linux box in a minute.

hmm, doesn't seem to want to let me connect in the flash player in ubuntu... The jar does run just fine and gives the same status as last year in the terminal

keeps saying "transferring data" in the browser but won't start the stream. It does say I have nexdef installed however in the quality tab.

In any case I prefer running the JAR file on my mac over having the software installed... It likes to suck up cpu/ram even when I'm not running the player

autobahn is not running according to your ps command. I'm only able to get "two bars" with the two quality levels still being standard definition. One is 800K and the other is 1200K. I can add 1200K support later today.

I've changed the speed switching code to switch between 800K and 1200K for non-nexdef mode.

Nexdef is still not turned on, but 1200K stream looks great.

Okay, I'm a dork. The reason why autobahn was bailing on me was because long ago, I had daemonized it so I had last year's autobahn already running. Whew! So I have this year's running now and I've already got the stream descriptions from nexdef.py. Stay tuned!

i was about to say... it's definitely running, i'm not imagining things haha

are you able to watch the streams in the flash player? I can't make that work... (in linux that is)

At the moment, I can't use the flash player because of "Sign-on restriction".

Until nexdef is turned on at mlb.com and the sign-on restriction error passes, I can't say anything definitive about when nexdef may be available in mlbviewer. It looks like there could be some changes that would require some reverse engineering.

For those of you who like that kind of challenge, I've checked in some changes (revision 228) to mlbviewer and test/nexdef.py to assist you.

daftcat et al-
Thanks for working on this mlbviewer, it's pretty sweet. I'm having trouble getting any game from 4/3 to download completely. My player command is video_player=mplayer -cache 2048 -dumpstream %s -dumpfile %f, so that I can write the video file and play it back through a different process. The download progresses, but around 40% (for PIT @ PHI) or 45% (for BOS @ WAS) I get a ping type of 31 and the download ends. At one point I saw the error message "Could not connect to LIRC, retrying:" at the end of the log file repeated 4 times, but it doesn't seem to be the case after I checked out revision 229. The error from the mlbviewer.py terminal is below.

DEBUG: Set duration: 10414.271000
DEBUG: HandlePing, received ping. type: 6, len: 6
DEBUG: sending ping. type: 0x0007

DEBUG: HandlePing, received ping. type: 6, len: 6
DEBUG: sending ping. type: 0x0007
DEBUG: HandlePing, received ping. type: 31, len: 6

The downloaded video is viewable, but ends abrubtly.

Any thoughts or suggestions? I'm able and willing to debug the problem but I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks,
Matt

bye bye linux on the ps3 i guess... just came out with the new update, totally disables the linux functionality of the ps3.

Can someone direct me to the autobahn download please? NEVERMIND!
