This can happen with any stack that has:
restart: unless-stopped
in the compose, where there's an issue causing the container to continually stop. Stop the mlbserver stack, comment out that line and restart. The container will stop, but you should be able to view the log.
Thanks. Getting the below from mlbserver:

Are you behind a VPN?
Nope. Only thing i can think of is maybe using localhost:8089 in lieu of my actual mac DVR hostname
That shouldn't matter. Can you log in and watch at MLB.TV Media Center | MLB.com in a web browser on the same computer?
Nope - i think this may be on MLB - I get 2 different errors on 2 different machines on 2 different OSs in my house - no VPN or anything
Can you get into your MLB account at all, like at https://www.mlb.com/account/manage-subscriptions#subscriptions ?
Could try it in a phone browser on cell data instead of wifi too.
This might be a lot to ask, but is there any useable guide data for minor league games? I have an Iowa Cubs game streaming, but nothing in the guide for it.
Yeah if you pull up the web front end for the original mlb server there are some examples of the xml syntax for minor league games
In the XML, I see this:
<programme channel="MLBTV.11.IOW" start="20250329150800 -0500" stop="20250329180800 -0500">
<title lang="en">Minor League Baseball</title>
<sub-title lang="en">Omaha Storm Chasers at Iowa Cubs</sub-title>
<desc lang="en">International League. Chandler Champlain vs. Jordan Wicks.</desc>

<team lang="en">Omaha Storm Chasers</team>
<team lang="en">Iowa Cubs</team>
</programme>
And in my M3U, I have this:
#EXTINF:-1 CUID="MLBTV.11.IOW" channelID="MLBTV.11.IOW" tvg-num="7101" tvg-chno="7101" tvg-id="MLBTV.11.IOW" tvg-name="MLBTV.11.IOW" tvg-logo="https://www.mlbstatic.com/team-logos/share/451.jpg" group-title="MLBTV",MLBTV.11.IOW
http://192.168.1.250:9999/stream.m3u8?team=IOW&mediaType=Video&level=AAA&resolution=best
But I'm not getting the guide data. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I figured it out. It looks like I have to explicitly add the parameters to my XML path. For example: http://192.168.1.250:9999/guide.xml?mediaType=Video&includeLevels=All
Apparently the default is MLB only. I'm seeing tomorrow's Iowa Cubs broadcast in my guide now.
Does MLB Big Inning work at all?
It should work when it is active, but they haven’t posted a schedule yet.
You can see the start time for the next airing the Fubo website
@tonywagner I want to use Gracenote guide data, so I have created a text based source in channels dvr. Some times I have the need to limit the stream to 3500kbs. I assume this is possible using the resolution= in the below example. I have tried bitrate=3500 but that doesn’t work. Is there a way to get 3500 and also an example of adaptive bitrate?
#EXTINF:-1 CUID="MLBTV.KC" channelID="MLBTV.KC" tvg-num="1.13" tvg-chno="1.13" tvc-guide-stationid="136215" tvg-logo="https://content.sportslogos.net/logos/53/62/full/kansas_city_royals_logo_primary_20198736.png" group-title="MLBTV",Royals
http://192.168.1.202:9999/stream.m3u8?team=KC&mediaType=Video&resolution=best?
On your mlbserver index page, click the button for the desired resolution/bitrate and it will update the URLs.
You probably want "resolution=540p"
You can also do "resolution=adaptive" (although I'm guessing most DVR software will just select one resolution in those cases, otherwise recordings wouldn't work).
Hello! Can someone provide some guidance on what to enter into the docker container setup for running the tonywagner/mlbserver ? I am new to docker and have been trying a few things but nothing has worked for me so far. I am running docker for windows.
I'd suggest installing OliveTin-for-Channels (using the EZ-Start:TNG instructions), and then this and future projects you want to install can all be done via Project One-Click.
EDIT: BTW, it looks like you may be running the Docker Desktop extension version of Portainer. You'll want to uninstall that, and the full-version of Portainer will be installed during the EZ-Start process. Also, be sure you have Ubuntu or Debian installed from the Windows App Store, and "Integration" with your default distro enabled in Docker Desktop.
Has anyone had any luck hosting mlbserver or the newer one on an app platform? I tried creating it in AMS on Digital Ocean's app platform, but it gets a 403 error when I attempt to authenticate. I assume MLB is blocking access from Digital Ocean.
I have all the games pulled into Channels DVR, but I'm not getting the appropriate game times. I just see that each team has a dedicated channel. You just have no idea when they actually play.
Is there any way to import gametimes?
Actually, Im getting some games on time. Others are way off. For example, Im seeing the afternoon games starting at the appropriate times. However, the Dodgers don't play until this evening, but I see a bar for their game all day. How do I adjust the timing? You can see the games with the blue lines are active. The Yankees don't play today. The A's and Dodgers are later tonight. Any input is appreciated!
This is what was great about @crackers8199 container. It would show the starting time of the next game in the current time block. Last year even though the video part was broken his guide data was still working fine. This year the guide data from his container is not working properly. Hopefully he has some time to fix the guide side of his sometime or perhaps @tonywagner could fork it and offer it as an alternate in his container.
I have resorted to using Gracenote and it shows sign off when games are not being played but I do miss @crackers8199 original guide data.
