Topic: MLB.COM -- TV and Audio Widget

A widget that would allow users to log into their mlb.tv accounts to access audio (video I imagine would be impossible) of baseball games would be a great idea.  Not sure if that's in the works, but it would be a great addition to the chumby.

Re: MLB.COM -- TV and Audio Widget

Unfortunately, like most sports leagues, the MLB has *very* tight restrictions on the use of their content.  We've talked with them in the past, but at this point it seems like it would be unlikely that we'd see a widget for this.

Re: MLB.COM -- TV and Audio Widget

Now that it's a year later, is this still the case?  Considering that you have to be a subscriber to Gameday Audio to hear these broadcasts, I don't understand why a widget can't be created to utilize that subscription and stream the audio broadcast. 

If MLB forbids the creation of this widget, who can I complain to at MLB to reverse their decision??

since youtube works very very fine video is possible.

first it would be nice to use video-podcast (like the info in mediafly: they are working on it)

tv-stream may be more difficult.
