The update is live, and hopefully should work. I tested it by removing mlbviewer_gui, and python-mlbviewer, and removing the data directory "/home/user/.mlb". If you run into issues, the first thing I would try is removing that directory.

The only working form of media is the mobile audio (which I think is actually streaming better than the gameday audio last year, less feedback and fewer skips). This is unfortunately a few steps back from last year, but a step forward from opening day.

Speaking of steps forward: you can now enable team icon's to be displayed to the left of the game listing. I find it very helpful in quickly finding the teams, as I had a tendency of scrolling up and down 10 times before I found the right team; I'm down to scrolling up and down 3 times now :-) . To do this does require "wget" to be installed. I don't remember where I got it, I'll look around and post a link. Not having "wget" shouldn't mess up the core program too much. You might error out with the first download, but the download should not be triggered when you re-open mlbviewer (I activate the download script if logos are enabled, and if "/home/user/.mlb/images/" doesn't exist). PLEASE RESTART THE APPLICATION IF YOU ENABLE ICONS ON AN ALREADY CONFIGURED SYSTEM. Otherwise, it will probably act funny until the UI is reloaded and configured to support the icons.

I also just remembered a bug where the application quit's after downloading the image files for the team logos. It is the result of an ill-placed sys.exit() in the original script that I wrote with no intention of integrating it into the full package. I was wrong, I don't call an exit... must be something funny with the subprocess for the download. I'll have to look closer. The download only happens the first time you enable the icons, so if you are using the new version before I upload the fixed version: just re-open mlbviewer. This should be fixed shortly.
Version 0.1.1-2 has this issue resolved.
(speaking of which, apparently I made up a deb with a new version 0.1.1-1 and never did anything with it, so the release jumps).
