It looks like you have python installed. If you type 'python xyz' it will tell you 'can't open file xyz'. The 'not found' error is when a program (like python) is not in the path.

Can you post a screen shot (or cut and paste) the exact line you typed and the exact error?

MLB Viewer for maemo lives! I kept sending mlb.com emails asking if they were going to support Windows Mobile streams this year and I kept getting a canned answer that didn't answer my question. I finally gave up and signed up for the regular Gameday Audio (which looks like they are calling At Bat with Audio). Just for fun, I tried mlbviewer, but it didn't work. I did some poking around on the xml for the electronic program guide and found something that changed, tweaked the code, and presto, I was listen to a game on the N810.

No special mobile account needed this year! Use the regular audio package. It costs $19.95 this year. There isn't an obvious place to sign up just for the audio, so here it is: http://mlb.mlb.com/media/player/mpa/index.jsp

I have uploaded the change to: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=3453

Download and install python-mlbviewer-0.0.5-4_all.deb

I'm noticing a timezone problem. I will try to look at it this weekend. I would also like to remove the dependence on the JSON code and add the ability to pick the home or away audio stream.

I knew it was a good idea to give let you update those files! Glad you were able to figure it out. Looking at the "At bat" interface, it does a number of things better than Gameday used to, and it even seems to be running better on my laptop. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the logout button, so I'm locked out of the audio on my tablet for a while to check the new file out. I'll try it out tomorrow.

Yeah, the logout button kept disappearing on me yesterday too. I see it there today. I ended up clicking on 'low-bandwidth' and was able to log out from there.

I have uploaded mlbviewer_gui-0.1.1-5
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mlbviewer-gui/

I have fixed the timezone issue.
I have removed the dependency on simplejson and python-mlbviewer. I moved the mlbtv.py and config.py into the mlbviewer_gui package. One package is easier than 3 :-)

You can: Uninstall mlbviewer-gui, python-simplejson and python-mlbviewer, then install mlbviewer_gui.

I have uploaded a new version - and changed the version name to include 2010, since MLB changes stuff every year, might as well make it obvious.

Download and install mlbviewer_gui-0.2010.1_all.deb
This change includes the ability to listen to the home or away audio feed without changing the audio_follow setting in the config file.
I also added the venue name and team records on the game page.

Hopefully it will keep working tomorrow :-)

Works great! I listened to games last night and I'm listening now. Thanks for all your efforts. John Dalton

I am having trouble with this app on my N900. I originally installed only mlbviewer_gui-0.1.1-5 and I got an error. (I think it was the "not found" error but can't remember exactly.) I then upgraded to mlbviewer_gui-0.2010.1 and received the same error. (My login and password were entered on both of these occasions.)

I then installed python-mlbviewwer-0.0.5-4 and could finally see the schedule for the day. However, when I click on a game in progress and then either home or away, I end up with the following error:

Error fetching URL: Login was unsuccessful

Again, my login and password are entered and they work just fine for Gameday Audio on my laptop.

Any advice?

I have an n900, and "at bat" aka gameday audio, I had put the "old" mlbviewer gui on and always got

"error fetching url login was unsuccessful"

when i cliked on a audio stream. I have uninstalled the old mblviewergui and related programs, and installed the new 2010.

I still get the same error every time. I have tried logging in and out of the mlb media center etc. Im really dying to get this working.

If any one has any help or info, i would really appreciate it.

I don't have a 900, so I can't say for sure what the problem is without more info. First, what version of Python is on the 900? Open an xterm window and type python. The first line will say what version is used. Type 'quit()' or Ctl+D to exit Python.

From the xterm window, type:
python /usr/lib/mlbviewer_gui/mlbviewer_gui.py

If it is up and running and you see the games listed, that's a good start. Open the configuration panel. Is 'Use Mob' checked? It is required. Confirm your username and password are correct. Click on the Player Config tab. Does the 'audio' entry say 'mplayer'? Save your config if you made any changes.

Click on a game in progress. Select either the home or away feed. If it does not start (it does take some time to connect and build a cache), look in the xterm window. Are there errors? If so, copy and paste them here. (There are informational messages that are not errors, like 'show available' and 'refresh_listings')

You should only need to package with 2010 in the package name.
