Anyone know of a workaround that will get mlb.com gameday audio working ?

Any help would be apprecciated

Hei Blade or Bdsilver

Did you manage to make it work on the default media player on the tablet ? Does it support this mlb.com's wmv audio files?

Let me know?

Marcelo,

CanŽt get gameday audio stream working.

First, you need a mlb.com gameday audio pass, $ 14.99 a year, wich I am am currently subscribed to.

Second, Somehow I seem to remember that last year the gameday audio worked on the n800. Huh ?

Mlb support could not help me either, (not that I trust the mlb support anyway).

Any experienced users out there with a mlb.com gameday audio pass subscription that could possibly help ?

Thanx

Yeah, I would need to know the URL for the stream, because it seems that they have their "player" there. But even with that.. if you have the url you can try:

http://user:password@url.com/something.pls or ram or some supported format.

using of course the user data / correct URL.
But also: it's possible that they are using some format that we do not support

@ Marcelo

Thanx for your suggestions. After googlŽn quite a while now, iŽm leaning to believe that the problem now is that mlb.com is using "Silverlight" from MS now. Geuss iŽll have to wait and see if silverlight comes to the nit. :(

actually, while it very well seems as if there is an issue of interference from the new Silverlight format. According to the System Requirements page we should be able to listen to the games using MLB Audio package:

Audio:
MLB.com Gameday Audio, MLB Radio, and all other audio products come in WMA format and run on Windows Media Player version 9.0 or below or the Microsoft Silverlight Player. Audio content older than 2 years will play in the native player. Flash Player 9 or above is required.
So, I am not sure what the problem is...did anyone actually use a tablet to play MLB Audio last season? Could it also be a DRM issue that the current media players do not handle properly/at all?

I did fiddle with trying to get the stream URL to a game yesterday but it was a dismal failure, even with mplayer.

No baseball fans here ?

Nhl radio does not work either ?

Still googlŽn but canŽt find any answers yet.
