I am running mplayer SVN-r33080-4.4.3. I wasnt able to figure out how to get the mplayer output directly .. xterm -e mplayer ... as my video player command didnt work.

On a guess, I bumped up my buffer from 2048 to 10240 and it plays smoothly at 1200 now. I guess it was getting buffer underruns or some thing.

I'm running the nexdef2010 branch revision 272, and when I run mlbviewer.py, I get the "There was a parser problems with the listings stage" error then the following traceback:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./mlbviewer.py", line 1545, in <module>
curses.wrapper(mainloop, mycfg.data)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/curses/wrapper.py", line 44, in wrapper
return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
File "./mlbviewer.py", line 409, in mainloop
+ len(coveragetoggle.get(cfg['coverage'])) + 2
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

Which day and are you still seeing it?

I can't reproduce this.

I guess it was just the day, but now it can't log in successfully. I checked the config file and the user and pass is accurate. I can log in online and watch video, so it's not the subscription.

Looks like MLB.TV isn't working right now, even from the website. Could this be the early attempts to roll out the 2011 changes?

I've done a fresh install on my Fedora - not sure what I did wrong but this is what I'm getting:

Thanks for any thoughts -

I did try the suggestion posted by deftcat back on page 208 - rm .mlb/cookie - but get the same error. I have both a fedora and a ubuntu distro and seem to have a similar issue with both.

Try logging in and logging out from the website. My guess is that mlb.com believes you already have a cookie and doesn't want to give you another. Just a guess.

Doubtful.

I think the Angels-Dodgers and Giants-A's games are going to be their beta tests.

Feature list looks about the same as last year so we may get off lucky this year with minimal changes.

There's a time_offset option in the config file. I don't remember if it's actually called that or how to use it but it should still be documented in one of the README files. See if you can manually adjust the offset to match the correct game time using this option.

Quick update:

Personal and work life are both, um, challenging, to say the least. I may not turnaround on small bugs as fast as prior seasons but I'll probably want my baseball working if a big one pops up. Hopefully those situations improve soon enough.

Good luck with everything daftcat!
Let's hope MLBAM leaves the base alone and you don't have to do anything ;-). Thanks anyway in advance if something should come up.

Tempting fate? Just to confirm mlbviewer etc is working well here in the UK. I am looking forward to Thursday's games...well actually over here they will be Friday's after work entertainment.

Thanks dafcat and all here for looking after an excellent tool.

I fiddled with that setting before DST arrived and was able to get the time correct. Maybe I don't understand the units of that setting completely, but to get the time correct I had to set it to some huge seemingly random number. I had assumed it would be some number that could represent one hour, but I couldn't figure out how that number equaled one hour. Maybe it actually represented 23 hours because I went in the wrong direction? Anyway, the minute you switch from the opening listing screen, the setting doesn't stick. No big deal - I know when the games are on and I can subtract an hour in my head without confusing myself, so I'm good. I'll fiddle around some more with my computer to see what is different with the time settings in Ubuntu 10.10 compared to when mlbviewer was working in 10.04.

Two more days!

Optional revision 273: Added the unknown teamcodes in for the exhibition games for today 3/30/11. I see no more exhibition games on the schedule so don't worry if you miss this revision.
