MLB.TV Issues with LG TV

[maxq23]

I can stream to my phone seamlessly.

My TV is hard-wired, and I cannot connect via the MLB.com app. (Netflix / You Tube etc all are fine) I can select the game, get current info re who's pitching and batting, but no joy with live feed.

I'll try the "Live TV" option but my TV is from 2014...unsure if I've seen that option...

i'm getting a slightly different problem this season. 

The app opens and displays current live scores, but gives a VIDEO ERROR 'The content you requested is not available. Please check your network connection and try again later."

 

Other apps are all working fine, even tried switching the input to 'livetv'

 

Any input is appreciated!

The app started to work for me a couple of days ago. You can navigate through the screen with the left/right/up/down and press the wheel to select BUT you cannot select when the pointer is on screen. You have to wait for the pointer to vanish and then you can press the wheel to select.

Tried to watch MLB.TV using the app last night and I was saying VIDEO ERROR 'The content you requested is not available. Please check your network connection and try again later.' Same thing as someone else. It streamed fine on my Android phone. Attepted to restart and it tried again and nothing. This was also true for highlight videos.

Glad Im not the only one having this issue, hopefully it gets resolved before tomorrow, I just purchased mlb.tv after trying it out for $10 or whatever the special deal was last season.  Now I just need to convince my wife before I cut the cord.

[Djlemon]

I own a 65ef9500 Oled I am having the same "connectivity issues" this sucks

[Djlemon]

You all need to contact MLB.Tv customer service and let them know about this bug so they provide an update ASAP. I called them yesterday

[Brandon Fernkes]

I'm in the same boat

[Djlemon]

So I talked to MLB TV customer service over their Twitter account @MLBfansupport and I let them know the situation after troubleshooting nothing helped  and they just asked me to use my Apple TV for now  which is kind of lame because they don't have a Magic Remote hopefully they will do something about it but more people need to spam their inbox in order for any change to occur .

Yeah for now I guess I can watch on my Xbox 1. However I may think about spending a little extra cash for a Samsung. 

[Andrew Damkroger]

I’ve also reported it on twitter

[gfunkj]

I tried the app this afternoon and it is working fine now, funny thing is there hasnt been an app update as far as I can tell.

[Djlemon]

Yup this finally works!!!

[Jill Schorr]

I called LG on Saturday for this issue.  They told me it was a bug on their end and they were working on an update.  We launched our MLB today and now everything is working fine.  Try it again..it should work!

[Marshall]

Confirmed. Fixed 😁

[Jeff Milrod]

Mine works now... I think.

 

My LG is new, and I've only used Roku before for MLB.TV - in the Roku App, I can click on a game, pick which teams feed, and then pick where to start watching (beginning, Top of 1st, Bottom of 1st, Top of 2nd...). This is a great feature for me as I've often listened to the radio for a while, and then watch the end of the game at some later time and can start watching where I left off. Does the LG WebOS app for MLB.tv just no support that feature, or am I messed up?

On this current version of MLBtv I can't select an inning or fast forward or reverse. Can only advance or rewind using the 10second button. Also, closed caption does not work.  No problems with streaming.  Last years version was able to do all of this.  any help is appreciated.

I just checked out the new app format in more detail.  

You can select home vs away broadcast by selecting the game from the scores menu. Then select the inning from line score.

After finally resolving all of these issues we've had with MLB.TV and our LG TVs over the past couple of years, I recently received a message through my TV's messaging system stating that LG will no longer be a supported device for MLB.TV.  Has anyone else seen this?  Isn't that lovely if it is the case!

Yes other people have noticed:

https://www.lgwebos.com/topic/3865-mlb-tv-no-longer-supported-on-lg-tvs/

Users of the app are are going to have to join up in force and make their complaints directly to MLB.TV as LG do not produce or directly support the app.

[George Hofmeister]

I have emailed MLB.TV via their contact page with the following message:

In the last few days there has appeared a pop-up on my LG Smart TV informing me that MLB.TV will soon dropping support for the webOS platform, obviously this is quite a little upsetting for LG users as you still seem to be supporting plenty of other platform.  Can you give me a definitive reason why support is being discontinued so that I may let the other members of the LG webOS User-to-User forum I am a member of know?

May I suggest that as many other forum member, whether you use the app or not (I myself do not) also contact MLB.TV as well.  May be if they see a ground swell amongst LG owners they may reconsider their stance.  You can find the contact form here:

55B6P TV that has crashes after a few minutes of streaming a live MLB.TV game. The screen freezes and the audio makes an En En En En weird sound before it restarts and tunes to a cable channel. I contacted LG Customer Service and received a response that it is an MLB.TV app problem. Our TV has no problem streaming HD content from and we have Xfinity Extreme 105 Internet service. Our other TVs have no problem streaming live MLB.TV games and are located farther in distrance from our wireless router than our TV. I going to try my Roku streaming stick on our TV to see if our TV will stream MLB.TV games via Roku. Frustrating response from LG. 

The fact that you're able to stream HD content from Amazon and other streaming services without any problems suggests that the issue is with your TV, not the MLB.TV app. Additionally, the fact that your other TVs are able to stream live MLB.TV games without any problems, even though they are located farther away from your router, further supports this theory. {}
