MLB.TV for Channels

[rpaulmerrell]

Hi there group,
I guess they did some server updates at MLB.
The padre game played great today.

Thanks

[rpaulmerrell]

Hi guys,
We have a guy that has created a great link for Tugo TV.
www.tugotv.com
The service happens to carry the MLB network along with FS!, FS2, and ESPN1 and 2.
Pair the service with MLB plus the other stuff.

Hi there once again,
I notice there is no guide data on MLB Please advise.

@rpaulmerrell

I notice there is no guide data on MLB Please advise.

I hope you aren't having the same issue as me, but check your MLB login directly on the MLB website and make sure it is working. Earlier in the week, I lost my guide data for the MLB channels, and ended up discovering that I couldn't login to my MLB account at all. Not only that, my account is completely locked and won't even allow me to reset my password. I have been in contact with MLB customer support all week and it still hasn't been resolved. At this point, I have no reason to think that the issue was related to the Channels container at all, but I have no idea what caused my account to get locked.

After finally getting in contact with a supervisor who reset my MLB account, everything is working fine for me again. I suspect my problem began when I changed my password a few weeks ago. I had some special characters in my password, which seemed to work fine, but it is possible that those special characters caused a problem logging in to one of the MLB family of websites, which then resulted in the account getting locked due to multiple failed attempts. So going forward, no more special characters in MLB account passwords.

Now that my streams are working again, I'm looking forward to the year ahead and any additional enhancements that may be forthcoming. The big things I would love to see are:

• Minor league broadcasts
• MLB Network
• Radio feeds (I know this is unlikely to work seamlessly in Channels based on last year's results, but maybe someday!)

Hi there,
Thanks for reminding me of the special stuff.
I will check my MLB log in details.

thanks

Hi there,
I did change the MLB password and my guide is back online and the docker is working.

This was working up until yesterday. This morning I tried reaching the epg site, and I get this error:
GuzzleHttp\Exception\ConnectException
cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: hub.docker.com (see libcurl - Error Codes) for https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/matty8199/channels-baseball/tags/?page_size=1000

Nothing else has changed. I have deleted the docker container, restarted it, but I get the same result. I'm running it on windows server.
Any help and or suggestions is appreciated

@Gregg_K

Could not resolve host: hub.docker.com

you are having a DNS resolution issue on the host

[Gregg_K]

No, that's what is strange, nothing has changed. I can ping hub.docker.com just fine.

[Gregg_K]

Update. I turned off docker all night, and turned it on this morning and it's working. No idea what the issue was.

@CubsWin

Radio feeds (I know this is unlikely to work seamlessly in Channels based on last year's results, but maybe someday!)

this is not possible in channels, unless something has changed in the past year. channels has no way to tune the secondary audio.

the container has the ability to overlay the radio audio, but channels can't see it.

your other two requests i'm hopeful on. i just haven't had the time to make any changes recently, as i'm on a very large project for my day job with a tight deadline. this week i'm hoping i'll have time to get anything that isn't working fixed for opening day, although i'm hopeful that when the lights come on thursday afternoon, it'll just work like it has for the past two years.

Re: docker performance on Windows, someone had some tips recently on how to make it use less ram/cpu

It is if you do not limit how many resources Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) can take over, which it will use just about everything if you don't! Follow Microsoft's directions here: Here is my .wslconfig that works perfectly: # Settings apply across all Linux distros running on WSL 2 [wsl2] # Limits VM memory to use no more than 4 GB, this can be set as whole numbers using GB or MB memory=1GB # Sets the VM to use two virtual processors processors=1 # Specify a custom Linux kernel to u…

I'm getting an EPG file that is getting corrupted, I think due to an HTTP error. The XML part of the file is corrupt. The program entries stop abruptly and there is no ending tag. The HTML part then has the stack trace from the error in the middle of it. Here's an example of where the result goes bad.

We are all set.
Grab that MLB stuff while you can.

[ssimpson]

Getting a bunch of "local.ERROR: no media found, sending off air stream". Anyone else seeing this?

[kanipek]

I am getting a lot of:
"This stream is currently off-air." - When the games are live.
Not sure I am concerned too much at this point. Spring is training typically full of issues no matter how I choose to stream.
I am getting this both on a Synology and a Windows 10 PC.

@kanipek

This stream is currently off-air."

If the description doesn’t show “LIVE” it is not going to play. Those are reruns that the docker can’t play for some reason.

A little tip for weeding out those listings is to create a channel’s collection like so. I like to put my home team in so I can see what time they play but the rest will only show currently playing games. Put your favorite team(s) where royals is on the screen shot and the make use of automatic collection by excluding sources and using baseball, sports, new and live checkmarks

The result is like this that shows my team and currently airing games. Super clean to the point!

this is because channels can only play live events, AFAIK. when the games are over and being replayed, it's a different type of playlist (VOD vs live event). i was never able to get channels to play the VOD streams. not sure if it's even possible.

i claimed my free account today, so i can do some more work...but i'm still caught up on real world stuff for my day job. still hoping it'll just work on thursday, but if not i may need everyone to just use the MLB app for now until i get a chance to look at things...please be patient.
