[gui-talk] MLB GameDay Audio

[Don Moore]

I did manage to bounce back and forth between the two feeds and finally get 
my team's announcers.  Ran my anti-spyware though and they do lay some ugly 
cookies on your computer apparently.  I say "they" because that was the only 
website I visited after scanning my system with Super Antispyware 
Professional.

Hey Mike,

Here's what I do and this seems to work to select the feed I want.  This
player needs a lot of work though.

1. Start at http://www.mlb.com/mediacenter.
Select the link for the feed I want.  A new tab or window will open
depending on browser settings.
4. Enter my login info in the player.  Note, you need to tab once past
the
password field in JAWS forms mode or Window-Eyes browse mode and press
space
on a namelss button as near as I can tell to submit the login.  The
button
won't even say button.
5. To switch feeds, I switch back to the first mediacenter window and
select
the other feed for a game if I want to switch.

I did try all the flash buttons in the player itself but none seemed to
switch the feed.

Hello, everyone.

I assume that those of you who are baseball addicts have discovered that
MLB
Advanced Media now uses a Flash player to stream GameDay Audio
broadcasts.
One must log into http://www.mlb.com and, having done this, go to
http://www.mlb.com/mediacenter to make the player work even halfway
decently
with screen-readers -- something that is admitted to on the Flash
player's
banner.

Only problem is that the Media Center always takes you to either the
home
feed or the away feed; the other feed doesn't work. I read from an
article
in the MLB help forum that for the sighted, the Flash player shows both
feeds and one can switch to the other feed by hitting the appropriate
button. Need I say, however, that this button doesn't show up for
screen-readers (at least for JAWS)?

Anyone have a work-around so that one has a choice of feeds, assuming
MLB
ADvanced Media doesn't get around to fixing this before 2013? I was on
the
phone with them for quite a while this morning and they fessed up to the
problem and said it would be fixed in an hour. Well, it's been a whale
of a
lot longer than an hour and the bug is still there! GRRR!

Mike Freeman
