Does anyone with Diablo know if that version of flash supports MLB? I have chinook and that version of flash definitely does not work with the new mlb player. Anyone know if Adobe will release a new NIT version of flash?

MLB tv on diablo does not appear to work either. I was able to launch the audio however, though not in the browser window (it launched the media player).

I see little chance that we will see an update that will allow this to work. There may be an update, but every time that the tablets have received an updated version of Flash, it has been a few revisions behind. Many sites check for the most recent version of Flash even if they don't need the most recent functionality.

I just need audio. Guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade to diablo. mlbviewer is not working on tonight's game.

How isn't it working for you right now?

crud, it isn't working on mine either. They must have changed something today, or there may be something funky with that game, cause I can play the replay of the LAD SFG game without issue. I'll see if the replay runs fine for the Braves game after it is done and try to ID what the issue is.

Error fetching URL: No stream available for selected game. (all games ! )

ditto here

I get the same error. I listened to the angel-padre game on saturday night but starting yesterday I started getting that error. I hope it can be fixed, it works on my computer.

I was able to tweak the mlbtv.py file to get the alternate audio working, but my High School Spanish no longer exists in my brain. Since everything else has moved to flash, the old code just isn't going to work. I got this from the mlbviewer svn - requirements for 2009. There is someone actively trying to get the base code working, but I'm not sure how much will work on the NIT.

1 REQUIREMENTS FOR MLBVIEWER 2009 SEASON
2
3 Quite a bit has changed for the 2009 season. mlbviewer is making a best
4 attempt to support the 2009 season but should be considered a very unstable
5 and incomplete solution for 2009 support. Additionally, while every attempt is
6 being made to preserve support for previous seasons, some of the new code may
7 have a destabilizing effect on existing code.
8
9 Expect bugs and don't expect many of last year's features to be working
10 with the early SVN revisions. Subscribe to the Linuxquestions.org thread for
11 tips and updates.
12
13 To get going for the 2009 season, you will need the following packages:
14
15 REQUIRED:
16
17 PyXML - http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/download.html
18
19 suds - https://fedorahosted.org/suds/
20
21 rtmpdump - http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtmpdump/
22
23 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
24
25 ffmpeg - http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/
26
27 x264 - http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html
28
29 faad - http://www.audiocoding.com/faad2.html
30
31 You will likely need to compile the latest version of these from source as
32 many distributions include outdated versions. To test whether you will need
33 to recompile these, you can download a Flash sample clip (12MB) from here:
34
35 http://www.eds.org/~straycat/2009-03...t-usaint-1.mp4
36
37 You may also need to rebuild mplayer from latest source to be sure of
38 compatibility.

I just found that change log myself... I tried just copying the newer files anyways the lib checks for the requirements and then exits if they aren't present.

I'm going to look into getting the needed packages up and running, but I cannot make any promises. I program in python specifically to avoid the compilation headache that comes with so many other languages in python. I'll try to get an environment set up today/tomorrow to test compile rtmpdump (suds and pyxml look to both be strictly python, though I haven't tried to import them yet). From there though...

Oh, and with the holiday week/weekend time will already be scarce (I do get to go to Milwaukee for Saturday's game in the middle of all of it though). I would not necessarily expect the fix quickly (unless some one else can compile rtmpdump and get it running before I can).
