MLB.TV for Channels

Sure as long as you use docker for the mlb container

I watched a Podres game today and was able to use the docker.
The MLB app and the docker use the same feed.
Arizona was doing the coverage.
I'm waiting for T-mobile to release the promo for MLB at the beginning of the season.
can't stand those ads they play on the APP i will agreen with anyone that says silence is golden.

just checking in here: sorry to anyone having issues, but i don't have a way to fix them at the moment. i'm waiting for the t-mobile offer (hopefully, anyway)...if it doesn't come i'll buy a subscription closer to opening day, but right now i'm in a holding pattern.

if i have some free time this weekend i'll see what i can do just using the free game(s) of the day, but i can't make any promises without a full subscription.

Any thoughts on adding MiLB games since they are (allegedly) included in the 2023 package?

I too am waiting to see what T-Mobile does this year. I did run across a deal on GovX for MLB TV - so if you are Military, Veteran, first responder or just a regular old government employee check it out before you buy from MLB - it saves ~$45.

Hi all,
I'm waiting for the t-mobile deal. My trial is about up.
Watched the Dodger and Podres game today along with the game yesterday without issue.

If I purchased a 1 year sub for you, would you be able to create a situation where Windows Channels DVR users could use this natively? I have no idea what "docker" is so I probably won't be using that.

No, its the same issue with all the other services that require docker, Pluto, Samsung, etc.

Google is your friend :slight_smile:

I have no time for this. Is there anyone who would like to get paid to do this?

What kind of rate are you offering to pay?

hi there,
The docker stuff can get confusing. @Kryptonyte If you have a computer that can stay on all the time, I'm sure we could get the docker desktop up and set up all the channels-related stuff including MLB.
If you are someone who wants to setup docker on your Windows PC, check out the following link.

i'm happy to help in any way i can, but i'm not sure what you're wanting me to do...especially on windows it'd be easier to use docker than try to get a WAMP server set up to run this. the docker container is what runs the web server to authenticate with MLB and get the stream to provide it to channels.

yes. i've had a MiLB sub for the past few years and been trying to get those games working for a while, actually, but kept getting stuck so i gave up. it just wasn't a high enough priority for me...but with them being included in the MLB sub starting this year, maybe that'll provide an easier path. i'll see what i can do once the season starts.

Well, I offered one guy a free sub to one year of MLB, so I guess that's where I'm at for the moment.

My Channels DVR machine, also running SageTV, is on 24/7. Thanks for the link to Docker install, I try to get a look at that over the next couple months.

speaking as the guy who you offered that to, i'm still not sure what you want me to do. there's not really an easier way to get this working than a docker container, regardless of whether or not you're interested in learning what that is and how to use it.

Sweet!

I don't really know either, I'm not a programmer, and I don't even know what a docker is or what it means. My first thoughts on this topic were, how can Channels DVR natively support this so I don't have to fool with running yet another piece of software, as they do it with TVE already, and it seems like it would be the most obvious solution. My next thoughts were, can someone make a security-safe executable that I can run on Windows where it pops up a window that asks for my MLB username and password, and walla, there is a new "MLB Tuner" that I can add to Channels DVR.

If you're telling me this docker thing is the only way, then I will have to take your word for it, and maybe eventually figure out how it works, like the other 500 pieces of software I've had to gain some understanding of over the past 50 some years.

I haven't messed with this container in awhile since it typically just works (that's a good thing!)

I'm going to be changing my MLB password soon though, since I am a LastPass user and I'm working my way through resetting passwords on all my accounts. When I change my password, how do I update the MLB container with the new credentials?
