Tech: More On Linux And Broken Gameday Audio
There's a good if long thread at LinuxQuestions.org about the ongoing breakage of Gameday Audio under Linux. The concensus over there seems to be surrendering to the WINE emulator, but that seems to me like overkill. There's a difficult process to get the thing to work using the Firebug Firefox extension:
I got audio working under Linux today, but it's a pain in the ass...I started looking into that today, but it's a big subject ...
Install firebug if you don't have it already. Enable it on the player page and reload. In the console you will see output that looks like:
----> prePlayerLoad:
o.mUrl=<URL HERE>
(The URL will be long, and contain the game ID and your login key. I was going to post a better example, but the forum won't let me include something that looks like a URL because I'm new. It will be a web dot servicebureau dot net address.).
Copy the URL, and pass it as the first parameter to VLC (you'll have to quote it, because it contains shell meta characters).
> vlc '<URL HERE>';
You should get your audio from VLC at this point.
Now all we need is somebody to whip up a Firefox plugin to do this for us...
In other news, anaheim.angels.mlb.com no longer works as a recognized domain in the MLB.com family of domains; it bops you to mlb.mlb.com. Just one more little bit of breakage from the idiots who like to break things for the sake of appearing "modern".
Update 5/1: This is now working, and I suspect the reason is because MLBAM pulled the plug on certain maldesigns.
