Can you provide a more recent sample of some MMS URLs? For example, the Oakland vs. Texas game on July 21, 2005. I can access the free game highlight URLs but not the mlb tv subscription ones. Please mask out your username and password as before. I'm attempting to write a plugin that will restructure all the javascript URLs.
Go to http://www.ivanx.com/mtr and download his program. It works great and you need nothing but the Pocket PC and a Wi Fi connection (and of course a valid subscription) to access MLB.TV. Audio works great even over GPRS.
How about going to the page on your pc, right clicking it and pressing properties (in firefox Page-Info), then it'll show the URL of the page, try copying that to the axim's browser.
If it says you should login, try copying the cookie from that site to your axims cookie directory.
Good luck :approve:

Accessing the MLB webpages is not the issue - the problem is accessing streaming subscription videos.
And that MTR program looks handy but WTF is with it using this 100 meg Java VM?!
As the author of MTR, I can answer this one. MTR's written in Java, and that means it needs a Java virtual machine to run. IBM J9 (the VM I recommend using) is the only Java VM for PPC that's a) cheap, b) available as a free trial download, and c) easy to get by end users. I think it's kind of insane that it's a 90 MB download, but the reason why is because in that 90 MB are both Linux and Windows desktop installers, and each of those installers contains multiple VM's (Palm, Pocket PC, etc).
When J9 is actually installed on the device, it takes up 8.5 MB -- still unacceptably large, but there are notes in the MTR documentation on how to slim it down to 3.3 MB, and/or move it to the Storage Card so you free up your main memory entirely.
The MTR documention also describes how to find the now-discontinued Sun PersonalJava if you'd rather use that instead, and that's only a 2 MB download. I still recommend J9 because PersonalJava has been long abandoned, but many MTR users choose to use it.
My next major goal for MTR is to eliminate the need for the VM entirely, and in fact I wanted to do that for this release, but there were a lot of baseball fans emailing me who clearly didn't want to wait any longer than they had to. So I released it as is, and the VM is a nuisance but, judging from my email, not something that fans are going to let stand in the way of baseball!

I also wanted to mention that I plan to offer support for more kinds of content (e.g. clips, condensed games, etc) in a future version of MTR, so it may eventually do what you are requesting.
Also, as it stands now, MTR has a somewhat crude user interface, but at least it's pretty easy to request either Real or Windows Media by specifying either "r" or "w" after the team you request. If you request Real and and get Windows Media, then that means MLB didn't have support for Real available.
These days, they have very little available in Real format other than live game audio or video, and archive game audio. Also, RealOne Player for Pocket PC just flat out will not handle their video streams, so if you're primarily concerned with video, which it sounds like you are, you can forget about using Real entirely, meaning you don't really need to be prompted for your choice as you are asking.
I appreciate the suggestions from you and others to help make MTR better!
