MLB.tv No Longer Uses Real

by adkinsjm Apr 3, 2006 3:55AM PDT

Just noticed that MLB video does not use Real anymore. Good choice, since the Real player is too bloated and useless nowadays.

Maybe I'll have to sign back up!

I had a subscription before, but I hate Real, and don't want to install it on my computer, but I might have to grab that now!

Something I noticed
by rtemp Apr 3, 2006 6:02AM PDT

I tried listening (Gameday Audio) to the Cubs game this afternoon on a Mac, and it didn't want to work. This makes me a very sad fan.

I had the same problem (Windows)
by archaeo1 Apr 3, 2006 6:06AM PDT

I kept trying and trying, and after about 15 minutes of trying to load the Red Sox game, it finally worked. I wonder if something is wrong with MLB GA in general?

MLB TV

I had a brief problem myself with the Cardinals game. I believe it's because of bandwidth. The more popular games get flooded and they become hard to stream. Never have a problem with the Devil Rays.

Also MLB was forced by a contract to use Real until this year.

Which browser on the Mac?
by adkinsjm Apr 3, 2006 11:01AM PDT

Weird, since MLB GA supports Safari, Firefox, and Camino.
