i'm having trouble with my mlbviewer on my snow leopard netbook (dell mini9)
I've got everything running, but when I try to play a game I'm stuck with this:
Buffering streamRTMPDump v2.2
(c) 2010 Andrej Stepanchuk, Howard Chu, The Flvstreamer Team; license: GPL
Connecting ...
MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
141 audio & 304 video codecs
Playing -.
Reading from stdin...
'Starting Live Stream
and thats as far as it will go, it sits there for a minute than goes back to mlbviewer
using the soapevent command daftcat just posted, I can make an mp4 and watch it with mplayer!
any ideas?
If you turn on debug mode it will tell you the full command it intends to use. What does it say?

I can also watch games with the stdout.py tool, so Its probably something in my mlbviewer config somewhere, but i cant figure out what...
any ideas?
EDIT: seems to be working with live games... sweet! definately the only way to watch mlb.tv on a netbook!
Okay, so after your EDIT, are you still having a problem?

Btw, I really don't like the lack of debug in the new versions of rtmpdump/flvstreamer. I'm sure it's either a compile option or a command-line option to get it back, but I really like seeing all the gory details from rtmpdump so I know rtmpdump is working.

Wait. What happened to your file? Did you remove it? Or change directories?
Can you use mplayer to play other types of files with audio? If so, could you paste us a similar output from a file with working sound?
What I see indicates that mplayer is handing the AAC just fine, but for some reason it is having trouble finding a suitable output driver. Kind of like the problem we just fixed with the video, only with sound this time. Fun, right?
No I can't! It really isn't that difficult. You guys make it seem easy. Thanks!

Nope, I didn't do anything. Though, if you remember, I had difficulty removing the first mplayer from svn. Perhaps that has something to do with it.
I have a question about archived games in different bitrates (non-NexDef):
It seems that not all bitrates are available for all games. Is that correct? Anyway, I noticed that the rtmpdump-calls are different for existing streams and non-existing streams. For existing streams the streaming starts immediately, for the others it tries but exits after two minutes without getting any data.
So I'm guessing it could be determined by mlbviewer if the stream is available in the selected bitrate or not?
If this is correct and you agree, maybe you could have mlbviewer respond with "game not available in that bitrate" instead of calling rtmpdump and nothing happening. Thanks in advance!
Or is there a different reason for all this?
Here are the two rtmpdump calls - I replaced my IP address with zeroes.

I was under the impression that archived games are only available in 800k. I could be wrong tho.
