[nfbcs] MLB.com gameday audio

[Mike Freeman]

Tracy:

If you're getting the game from the regular Media Center page, even though 
you've logged in, you'll have to find and click on the "Log In" button again 
to start the audio. If you select the game and click on the feed *without* 
logging in first, that login frame will come up and when you fill it out and 
submit it, the audio will begin.

Incidentally, with that page, if you're listening to an archived game, a 
separate window will open with a fully-accessible Flash player but it takes 
a log of processor power. But you can rewind, fast-forward and pause the 
archived feed. Not so with the live stream.

If you select the "Accessible GameDay Audio" feed from the Media Center 
page, http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/, you will be in a simplified player 
that (once you've logged in via that login frame ore equivalent) will bring 
up a simplified player with links to decrease/increase volume and play/pause 
the feed.

If, as I described in the beginning, you're working from the Media Center 
page as I described at the start of this message, the player will have a set 
of radio buttons that, when selected, shift you between the various feeds of 
the game you selected.

HTH!

Mike
