Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

Do i need a different subscription that "MLB At Bat with gameday audio" ?

I hate the MLB site. Ive seen stuff about MLB mobile premium etc. etc. that is $2.95/mo ... but i cant figure out how to even sign up for it.

Whoever has this working, can you tell me what exact subscription you have?

Thanks

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I have the same thing, 2010 MLB At Bat with Gameday Audio. It works for me. The 2.95/mo account was needed last year.

Make sure you don't have any of the old version laying around. In an xterm window, cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages, then do a listing with 'ls'. If you see MLBViewer, then you have old code still installed. The new code shouldn't be looking for it there, but I'm running out of ideas.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

i do see mlbviewer in there, along with simplejson.

.. i guess i should try removing them...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I still get the same errors :( fortunately the n900 has flash and i am able to listen via the player at mlb.com/mediacenter. Its not ideal for sure, but at least i can listen.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

OK, it sounds like you're still getting a login error. In my experience, if you are logged in on a browser it gives you a message about being logged in twice, so I don't think that could be at the root of your issues.

You don't have to actually answer the next couple of questions here, if it worries you about security/privacy, but they may help figure out a few things that could complicate issues.

Does your password have any strange/non-standard characters in it?
Likewise with your email address?
Can you copy the config file to a computer, or open it in a text editor on you tablet (I use pygtkeditor to check config files on my tablet) to make sure there isn't any trailing white space in either the password or email field (assuming it doesn't belong in your password)?
Have you tried changing the password on your account and updating your login configuration on the tablet?
You mentioned that it is failing on your n810 as well, did you have any of the previous versions running and working on your n810 before?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I can login to mlb.tv and listen to game day audio (on PC)
but when I try to login with N810 w/ mlbviewer I get

Error fetching URL : Login was unsuccessful

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

Is this a new install, have you had the viewer working on your tablet before? If new, which version did you install the first time?

Did any of my previous questions look applicable to your situation?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

Well, I now seem to be able to reproduce the issue, or should I say "now have the same problem that you have." Now that I can see the errors as they happen, I'll look into what can be done to make this work. I didn't set up the original mlbviewer authentication, nor the current mobile stream authentication, but I'll see what I can do to get this working again. Tonight is a bad night, but I'll work on it Friday and on the weekend for sure.

Sorry for the issues, and please report any other information you might have.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I'm finally hit by this too. The page returned during our login says they are having temporary problems and to try again later, but it hasn't worked all day. Maybe they finally turned us off. Hopefully I'll have time to look at this too, but I'm awfully busy lately.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I am currently listening to the Dodgers game (Sat 4/24). Maybe the problem was on the MLB side?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I have the gameday audio subscription (or whatever MLB is calling it this year). My subscription works fine (can log in and listen to games) on a laptop/desktop using the MLB website. I'd really like to listen to games on my n800, but mlbviewer is not working for me.

I've tried most of the versions, up through the 2010 0.2 beta, and none of them work. The program runs, displays the current listings, lets me choose a game and a radio station to listen to, but seems to fail authentication to the MLB website: I get the "Error fetching URL : Login was unsuccessful" message. I've verified that mlbviewer is reading my username and password correctly, but the login is still failing.

I'm really motivated to get this working, so if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I know some python, and have looked at the source code, but just enough to verify that the program is reading my username and password correctly from the config file.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

Download the debug version from post #274 and run
python /usr/lib/mlbviewer_gui/mlbviewer_gui.py from an xterm window. The debug version will output the resulting HTML page from MLB. Inside the HTML should be an error message.

I just tried the Cubs game and it works ok for me.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

That's an error from mlb.com, so I don't know what it really means. Other than one day a few days ago, I have not been having problems (listening to the Braves broadcast right now).

I wonder if the people not having trouble had the MLB Windows Mobile package last year and the people having trouble did not.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I've had the regular gameday audio for a couple of year, but I never had the mobile package, and I can't use mlbviewer.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

still no solution to fetching url error - I can lo0gin via fennec but audio sounds like its being played at 78 rpm as in fast.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I have released a new beta. Python threading seems to consume a lot of resources, so I removed the auto update thread. I added a new button to do the refresh on the game page.

I still wish I had more time to do more.

Every once in a while I get an error starting a game, but if I was a minute and try again it works. The error doesn't happen very often for me.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I have made a new release 2010.4
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=3650

I have improved the speed of the individual game page refresh. The refresh loads smaller pages, so it is faster. But because of this, the clicking to the game is a little slower. I don't think it's too bad.

I added video highlights. MLB.com makes these available while the game is in progress, hit refresh occasionally.

The following day, the condensed game will show up. They are in the listing as 'date CG: away@home'.

The videos are free, no account needed.

There are two video quality settings, low and high. I have added 'Video Rate' to the configuration setup. If you have an n810, you should only select 'low' (it's the default). If you have an n900, I'd be interested in knowing if it can handle the 'high' video rate. The 'low' video quality is very poor. The 'high' quality looks better on my Windows box, but won't play on the n810. I also found some 'flash' highlights but those won't play on the n810 either.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

New release 0.2010.5
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=3665

I re-added auto refresh of the game page. Much faster this time. There is a drop down with the refresh rate. Default is 15 seconds. Other options are 0, 30 and 60 seconds. Changes to the refresh rate will be stored in your config file.

I also added batter, pitcher and outs. I also added an image to display the current base runners. These update based on the refresh rate, but also are dependent on when MLB.com updates its info.

I still would like to tackle the main page refresh speed, but it may be a while before I get to it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

still get error fetching url logon was unsuccessful - but I get video highlights and scores etc

ok what am I doing wrong

I have a Red Sox citizen account which includes game day audio

I can login to mlb with my e-mail and password

any help appreciated

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I get an error very rarely. It is usually when a game is starting and MLB isn't ready yet. Yesterday I got the error at 5:05, exactly when the Cubs game started, but was able to login and listen to the Mets game that had been going for a while. I waited a few minutes and the Cubs game was available to me without any problems. If I get an error, I usually just have to wait a few minutes and try again.

You must make sure you are not logged in to MLB.com with your browser. Make sure you click to log out if you have been logged in. You can't be logged in from two places.

Download the debug version from post #274 and run
python /usr/lib/mlbviewer_gui/mlbviewer_gui.py from an xterm window. It will show the html output from mlb.com during the login process.

Someone else was having a login problem and posted the results. The error is coming from mlb.com, it's not very descriptive. It says to try again in a few minutes.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

Please the last post about mlbviewer was 5-26-2010 what is going it is not working ?
I got mlbviewer_gui-0.2010.5.deb and installed on my n900.I have the icon on my desktop but I can not get it to open.
Please help

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

I have an n800, so I can't say that it will work on an n900, but i can run it from my Windows box. You can try to open an xterm window and type in:

python /usr/lib/mlbviewer_gui/mlbviewer_gui.py

If it doesn't start, see what the error is and post it here.

I've been using the program all season, with an occasional 'unable to login' problem, but those are few and waiting 5 minutes seems to fix it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

thank you but it do not open ,please see the screenshot

Re: [ANNOUNCE] mlbviewer_gui for maemo (Beta)

Hard to tell from the screen shot, but it looks like you are missing the space between 'python' and '/usr...'

If the space is there, then the program is not installed correctly.
