Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

I don't have that lib installed on my tablet, but I stream the gameday audio fine with this plugin. Well almost fine, it kills the battery, but that's to be expected. I did take a while to get it to actually work, so I supose I could have added something else in the meantime to make it work. What I ended up doing was disabling the built in media component, and then enabling all of the mplayer ones. If it isn't working, try closing the browser (maybe restarting the tablet) and then opening the browser back up and look at the component list. I had a couple of instances where they were no longer checked (at the time I guessed that they crashed and were disabled) but after re-enabling them I've had minimal issues.

Thanks to your instuctions i got mlb gameday audio working, till yesterday.
Now the mplayer plugin is hanging at "getting playlist"and nothing happens after that. Tried deinstalling/reinstalling but nothing helps.
Are you still getting gameday audio ?

Thnx in advance

Sorry, didn't see your question until today. I actually don't have it working right now, but I think it's a separate issue. I upgraded the browser to the SVN build from another thread, and I noticed last week that I wasn't getting games any more. I plan on flashing sometime this week and setting up a dual boot, so I'll look at it then and report back to you.

Any chance of putting this into maemo-extras repo?

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

Is mlb= major league baseball? If so, you can watch the video and hear the audio here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=19044, just scroll down to alphabetically to find mlb.

enjoy,

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

It looks like your file only includes one station for MLB, so there would be no guarantee that our teams would be available. Also, and to many this is an unimportant detail, my understanding of MLB's licensing is that mlb.com is the one and only authorized internet broadcaster. And they almost certainly wouldn't authorize another site that doesn't authenticate users and required a subscription. Now, like I said, you (and others) might not care if it is or isn’t authorized, and this is just by understanding and not a thoroughly researched fact. But it should be noted that if MLB’s gameday audio still works, it is legal and costs only $15 for the entire season.

I'll report on what I find. In this thread or the other mlb thread I mentioned that it took a couple of weeks to get it to work, so maybe it was just a fluke regresion in their web page. I haven't studied it much on my PC to see if the media is served with flash or with silverlight, which also might contribute to the problem.

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

OK, after some research, it looks like we aren't the only linux users experiencing this issue. The trend I've seen reported mirrors my own: didn't work for spring training, then it started working, now it stoped. From what I've read, when it worked they stoped using silverlight to serve the media stream, and now they've started it back up. So I ported a version of mlbviewer instead. You can find the details in this thread.

@hvacengi
Thnx for the info that i´m not the only user not being able to listen to gameday audio anymore. Thought it was only me :)
I´ll need some time trying to work through your mlbviewer instuctions.
Basically i´m a windows user ;) but i´ll give it my best when i have some time the next few days. Really wanting mlb audio streaming working again :D
Anyway, thnx again for your help

Re: Mplayer plug-in 3.50
 

No worries, I'm a native windows user myself, and when I had the webpage working was just happy to not have to make my own solution. I don't know if you're following the other thread much, but I've made a bunch of changes that should make mlbviewer easier to get started. And I'm revising the configuration dialog still to make it more intuitive. Let me know if you need any help getting started.
