Ahah! No not yet, but I will try it out and let you know tomorrow.

I get the URL fetching error. I have a gameday audio subscription.

Can you post the log from /home/usr/MyDocs/mlboutputlog.txt and have you looked for the /usr/lib/.mlb/config file to verify your settings are being saved?

From what I can tell from the original backend, the URL error is often a login failure.

Yeah, don't bother, that post is for an older version of mplayer, and it hasn't been ported to .27 yet. At first glance, there is atleast one library file not found, and I don't know where to begin and figure out how to patch mplayer. Guess we'll have to either wait, or you'll have to pray that I magically learn how c++ for Maemo...

Just to throw in my 2 cents, I have the audio only subscription and was using version 0.0.3-2 without any problems on audio and was able to watch the video highlights. I will download the latest version soon. Again, thanks big time for creating this app!

I guess I do have a request. Can you make the "Game Viewer" dialog box application modal instead of system modal, or make it a minimizable window instead of a dialog box? It would be nice to be able to bring up the browser or some other app while listening to a game. Currently, the Game Viewer dialog box stays up front.

The reason you can't see it in emelfm is because any folder with a . in front of it is hidden. Tap on the H in the top left to view hidden files. (See here for more emelfm info: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ghlight=emelfm )

As for the issues I'm having. Now, the replay games are at least playing, so that helps.

Here's what the videos look like when they play: Its recorded with my camera phone, so that doesn't help, but most of the blockiness in the video is exactly how it looks when I play it.

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...

Oh man, this is real work! The other stuff just pays the bills!

So I seem to be getting a ton of "bits_overconsumption" messages in xterm when I open it from there and attempt to play video. Also, I just reflashed my tablet and used the newest version of this, and the Gameday audio is louder.


Edit: Also, here's from the log for a game tonight, though it happens on all pages
and don't blame Diablo because I was on
Chinook until a few hours ago.

Thanks for posting the log, I'll have to go through it and see if any of it helps. I have found a command to tell mplayer to increase the volume, but havent decided how to add it to the interface. So if you have it working, I'll leave it as is for now.

I'm posting another updated version. The major difference is in the config dialog, which now has 3 tabs so that you can change the normal system settings, the audio follow (with toggle buttons for each team, not alphabetical because the "for" command doesn't seem to read in the order I added the entries), and direct editing of the mplayer commands. I've also included a cancel button, a defaults button, and the username and password are filled in from the current config (and use password chars).

The audio stream will now still play when you close the game viewer, and still ends when you exit mlbviewer.

So, the default mplayer command is now going to include the -quiet tag, which will reduce Mplayer's output to the log. Which reminds me, both standard ouput and standard error are now going to be in the log file.

Greyhost:
I'd agree... if it wasn't a family business that I hope to have support me for atleast 40 more years...

EDIT:
The audio and video buttons are now disabled if you don't save an email address in the config (technically it just looks for an "@" in the user string)
