Hi! :-)
And thanks for writing... :-)
So, first of all: I don't understand every of those steps you propose. That's surely because my english is not good enough and also because I'm not as much into this matter as you...
But I will have a try:
First, this is my config file content:
# See README for explanation of these settings.
# user and pass are required except for Top Plays
user=***********
pass=***********
video_player=vlc -cache 4096
audio_player=vlc -cache 128
favorite=chc
use_nexdef=0
speed=1200
min_bps=1200
max_bps=2400
adaptive_stream=0
free_color=red
show_player_command=1
debug=1
# Many more options are available and documented at:

Then I selected sunday's pirates-dodgers game and this is the output:

Okay, and now my problem: I don't know what to do with this step, daftcat:
"...and removing all the carriage returns at the end of each line before testing that command-line on the actual command-line."
...???????? :-/
