Thats actually very helpful to me. It definatly looks like the video decode is being scrambled, probably a lot of droped frames.

Can you go either post your log here (atach or copy and paste, doesn't make much difference to me) or scan through it yourself. At the top of the file should be the console output from mplayer (only standard output, I forgot to make it log standard error as well). A few lines after the "Playing mms://..." mplayer will report some of the stream data. Could you just post for me the contents of the line begining with "VIDEO:" That should help figure out some of the difference between the two streams.

I did that for a little bit before I released the version that fixed the mplayer window issues (simply hide the game viewer when any stream is launched) but I ran into a snag closing mplayer when mlbviewer closed all together. ...Mid reply ADHD moment... after writing about how I was confused that I couldn't close mplayer on exit, I went and looked at the code to check on an error print that I did. To my amazement, I constructed the string for the command... and then just left it. Never sent it to the mplayer process... that's what I get for coding at 1AM. I will try it out this evening and assuming it works, I will indeed allow hiding the game viewer.

I wanted to make an update this evening anyways because I've updated the configuration dialog, including audio follow and player commands.

I better get back to my real work...
