Please try the latest version, for Dharma it's 0.0.9 -> http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/dharma/pl...-0.0.9.zip

Not sure why you have such an old version Do you have auto update turned on?

Since HLS Support in XBMC still appears to be a ways off, I was thinking of testing XBMCbuntu on my ION unit.... on a 4gb USB.

With the mlbhls add-on, how large does the file it creates become through the course of a game... will a 2-3Gb partition be enough?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try this when I get home. I didn't realize I was using an old version. I don't have auto-update turned on, but the "update" option was greyed out when I tried to update manually. Strange. I'll report back how the new version works. Thanks, again.

I think* your looking at ~ 6 to 10 GB per game or about 1GB every 30 minutes at the highest bitrate. The add-on writes the file to /tmp, something to consider if your partitioning.

divingmule.... is the /tmp folder something you can alter, or is that controlled within mlbhls?

I am working with someone from Openelec to get this to work... he created a working mlbhls file, but it appears that /tmp is located in the ramfs.... which means no space to write. I am waiting to see if I can mount /tmp to another location, but if not is there something you can do (such as point it into a /tmp folder located under the plugin folder)?

I'm running Eden, actually, and the version of MLBMC I have installed is 1.0.1, which is the newest one showing up in the repo. Hmmmm.

ATV has a MLB app that does higher bitrate video than this addon. Why not use that app?

It has annoying bugs of its own. I'd like to give this one a try instead.

I don't get any bugs on my ATV 2 or 3.
What kind of bugs?

This is 1.07

Update with that

The most annoying bug is that it will randomly switch to a squished 4:3, requiring me to switch my TV to a horizontal fill setting. No quality is lost, though. It will switch back to 16:9 randomly as well. Sometimes this only happens once or twice per game; sometimes it happens every 20 seconds, which is quite annoying.

Thanks for the MLBMC link. I think I figured it out, actually. I was still running Eden Beta 2. I just upgraded XBMC, and the add-ons are all updating right now. I'll report back how 1.0.7 works out.

OK. I'm running the latest version of XBMC with MLBMC v1.0.7 now. There are no live games to test with right now (Sunday blackouts), but here is the error when I try to play yesterday's archived Atlanta/Washington game:
