I can only watch the game recaps/highlight videos on the NIT. I can't get them to play decently on my PC. Even after they appear to be cached in the browser, they still won't play fully. This mlbviewer program is awesome! I have no problems with the audio or the highlight videos. Thanks.
I'm glad you're enjoying it. Really, this port could be re-ported to straight up gtk, and then work on most other OS's, if it weren't so convinent to keep the game on the tablet. But I'm not up for doing it

It's so close I can almost see it. I messed with the parameters that you now display in the config dialog box, but I don't know enough to know how to 'improve' it. I changed the numbers up and down with no effect What does the -quiet attribute do? Just curious.
Muah ha ha ha ha ha! [Imagine that being maniacal laughter ]
I've been waiting for some poor sap to ask me what the parameters mean...
This link may or may not be helpful... but it will certainly give you room to play...

OK, time for another update:
After Greyhost asked about the condensed games, I did a bit of checking. It turns out that the "download" version off of source forge is from the begining of May. But the SVN (work in progress) version has had a number of upgrades, including the condensed game support. So I've updated the package with the new version of the MLBviewer backend. Unfortunatly, these condensed games seem limited to the paid video subscribers. Which means (yup, you guessed it) I haven't tested it! I got far enough to get a URL error. Looking at the page data, it looks like it could be a page asking me to log in...

So Greyhost, if you're testing that feature, I suggest going to Tuesday's game, and not today's. Maybe yesterday's, atleast there was a lot of excitement (Cooper is such a fun coach!). Atleast your team didn't walk in the winning run for the cubs by hitting Jim Edmands...

I also fixed the "/home/home/.mlb" error that was reported in the last version. I uninstalled, deleted .mlb and then reinstalled, and every thing went smoothly, so here's hoping.

I'm going to incorporate a little smarter determination of what items require authentication and which items don't in the next cycle. Mostly for the sake of the Home Run contest and the All star game, since I recall atleast one of them being a free broadcast for mlb.tv. And I definatly need to get some documentation into the gui!!!!!

Oh, and does any one know if it is possible to commit blasphemy and install an Apt repository on a windows 2k3 server?
