MLB.tv App

[kfowler]

I've got an MLB.tv Premium Subscription and tried to get the new app to work. I can log in, but when I select a game I get an error.

"Sorry, you need to have an MLB.tv Premium Account"

I confirmed my info with MLB, so that's not the issue. Anyone else have this problem? Sorry if this is a dupe, I did a search and couldn't find anything about the new app.

Tested and got the same result on Vista 32, and Mac.

I think if you go to mlb.com/boxee they say you may need to update your account on mlb.tv's side. Check it out...

I confirmed the info before, it seems like they just wanted me to put an expiration year in for the CC associated with my account. Before I did that it wouldn't even let me log in to the app. After, I can log in but I can't access any game recaps/live games.

Have you gotten it running?

Same thing for me. I'm an MLB.TV Premium subscriber too, so I 'confirmed' my account at MLB.com/boxee as suggested, but when I'm in the MLB channel in boxee and try to view an archived game, I also get the message: "Sorry, you need to have an MLB.tv Premium Account".

Thanks!

Nothing relating to MLB.tv works on day one, so I am not surprised. Good to hear that I'm not the only one!

Ain't that the truth. The NexDef high-def plug-in fiasco is still not properly resolved, and the promise of radio commentary being synced with the live streaming TV feed was promised but has never materialized.

I hope the folks at boxee realize the issues they might end up running into by having the MLB TV product within their application, but I applaud them for making the deal regardless.

I can confirm the same. Have a premium account, so I went to mlb.com/boxee and filled out a wallet entry. Still not able to play any games through boxee, though the MLB.tv player still works. The message I get is slightly different: "Sorry, the game is only available for MLB.TV premium accounts."

Called mlb support they weren't much help but took my info and gave me a ticket number.

The mlb.tv app is a huge welcome addition to the boxee world. I am just really disappointed that it does not work on AppleTV at all. I just get a black screen and have to do a hard reboot. It works great on my imac though which is nice I guess. Is there any chance this is going to be fixed? I wish I could turn my ATV into a mac mini as the ATV is pure crap.

I should mention my issue is on an Ubuntu Jaunty system.

Not sure what I'm doing right but the MLB app is working fine for me on ATV. This is freakin awesome
