Anyone having a login problem? Tonight I was listening to the game on my Windows PC, then decided to switch to the MLBViewer. I have done this before, where I close the window on Windows and start up MLBViewer, and tonight for some reason, I get and error starting the Audio from the NIT. I tried logging into mlb.com and logging out, but that didn't fix anything. Here's the portion of the log:

I actually just noticed it myself. I'm sure that it was working this weekend. I'll have to check out the normal mlb viewer's pae and see if they've come up with anything. Could just be a change in way mlb authenticates (hopefully not specifically because of mlbviewer...). I'll take a look when I finish up the dbus-switchboard gui (tonight or tomorrow, depending).
It means that the very smart people over there will probably fix it. But it also means I'll have to re-code a little bit, because they changed the condensed game portion of the library. I'll try to keep tabs on what's going on on linuxquestions.org and get my version updated as soon as they get it figured out.
Hmmmmm, i thought it wasn´t working because i signed up for the 5 day free trial and that then screwed up some kind of setting/login.
I just keep getting "error fetching URL". But i am able to watch the recaps
I can report that it was working yesterday and is working for me now.
By working, please understand that I have subscribed to the premium service at mlb.com. In spite of the subscription, the live feed from mlb.com has always been garbled (no fault to hvacengi... it seems to be a codec issue) but the condensed game, recap and replays have all worked without a major glitch since I started paying.
@ blade2002: Perhaps you got more than the five day trial. mlb.com automagically 'renewed' my subscription after the five days. I know, it's not worth it for the actual amount of time I spend watching, but I love playing with it so I'll keep the subscription for a month or two...at least till the Astros are in the cellar.
Edit: Well, I have tinkered a bit more and do get the occasional "Error Fetching URL" but for the most part they work. My broswing this morning did raise a question. Some of the games for yesterday, for example, have both a reacp and a condensed game (CWS 4, CLE 3) but no replays. Some have a recap and replays but no condensed game (NYM 7, STL 4) and some just have the recap (DET 4, MIN 6). I have a suspicion that this is just the way the feed is packaged by mlb.com, but wonder if other users are experiencing the same variances.
