Subsequent runs can be launched with ```docker start mlbserver``` ## Usage After launching the server or Docker container, you can access it at http://localhost:9999 on the same machine, or substitute your computer's IP address for localhost to access it from a different device. Load that address in a web browser to start using the server and to see more documentation. Basic command line or Docker environment options: ``` --port or -p (primary port to run on; defaults to 9999 in Docker or if not specified) --debug or -d (false if not specified) --version or -v (returns package version number) --logout or -l (logs out and clears session) --session or -s (clears session) --cache or -c (clears cache) --env or -e (use environment variables instead of command line arguments; automatically applied in the Docker image) --login_page or -lp (false if not specified, login is done via a login page and uses cookies) ``` Advanced command line or Docker environment options: ``` --account_username (required, email address, default will use stored credentials or prompt user to enter them if not using Docker) --account_password (required, default will use stored credentials or prompt user to enter them if not using Docker) --fav_teams (optional, comma-separated list of favorite team abbreviations from https://github.com/tonywagner/mlbserver/blob/master/session.js#L23 -- will prompt if not set or stored and not using Docker) --http_root (specify the alternative http webroot or initial path prefix, default is none) --free (optional, highlights free games) --multiview_port (local port for multiview streaming; defaults to 1 more than primary port, or 10000; does not need to be mapped or used externally) --multiview_path (where to create the folder for multiview encoded files; defaults to app directory) --ffmpeg_path (path to ffmpeg binary to use for multiview encoding; default downloads a binary using ffmpeg-static) --ffmpeg_encoder (ffmpeg video encoder to use for multiview; default is the software encoder libx264) --ffmpeg_logging (if present, logs all ffmpeg output -- useful for checking encoding speed or troubleshooting) --page_username (username to protect pages; default is no protection) --page_password (password to protect pages; default is no protection) --content_protect (specify the content protection key to include as a URL parameter, if page protection is enabled) --login_page (optional, enable login page authentication; default is false, uses browswer popup when unset) --gamechanger_delay (specify extra delay for the gamechanger switches in 10 second increments, default is 0) --data_directory (defaults to installed application directory; in the Docker image, this defaults to /mlbserver/data_directory for mapping persistent storage) ``` Supports [SWAG](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/swag/#preset-proxy-confs) using the custom [mlbserver.subfolder.conf](https://github.com/tonywagner/mlbserver/blob/master/mlbserver.subfolder.conf) file. For multiview, the default software video encoder is limited by your CPU. You may want to experiment with different ffmpeg hardware video encoders. "h264_videotoolbox" is confirmed to work on supported Macs, and "h264_v4l2m2m" is confirmed to work on a Raspberry Pi 4 (and likely other Linux systems) when ffmpeg is compiled with this patch: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1780625#p1780625 More potential hardware encoders are described at https://stackoverflow.com/a/50703794 ``` h264_amf to access AMD gpu, (windows only) h264_nvenc use nvidia gpu cards (work with windows and linux) h264_omx raspberry pi encoder h264_qsv use Intel Quick Sync Video (hardware embedded in modern Intel CPU) h264_v4l2m2m use V4L2 Linux kernel api to access hardware codecs h264_vaapi use VAAPI which is another abstraction API to access video acceleration hardware (Linux only) h264_videotoolbox use videotoolbox an API to access hardware on OS X ``` ## Credits https://github.com/tonycpsu/streamglob https://github.com/mafintosh/hls-decryptor https://github.com/eracknaphobia/plugin.video.mlbtv ## License MIT --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/mlbserver · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
