March 8, 200917 yr Was in the multimedia section of mlb.com the today and happened to see that the new media player was being used for the Cuba vs South Africa, so I thought I'd take a look at it. Simply put, it was 10x better then the current player, notably because you can adjust the quality in game (to high quality if you have a downloadable plugin), and the option to watch multiple games (up to four) at one time. It's interface seemed fairly simple, as well, and there were a few other things that looked like they weren't yet implimented but would be another step above the current player, such as the ability to jump to an inning (instead of having to guess where the beginning of the inning is). Just wondering if anybody else had seen this, and what were your thoughts. Video with some details: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/subscriptions/y2009...0421159-8042422

Think so...all it says in the multimedia section was "2009 New Player" Anyway, here is a video, should explain it... http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/subscriptions/y2009...0421159-8042422
March 8, 200917 yr It's veeeeeery nice. I used the beta earlier today and it looks like it's going to be great. The ability to change quality settings on the fly, watching multiple games, changing video feeds, and even changing audio feeds. I like it a lot.

I noticed that audio thing and thought it was to change audio feed, but wasn't 100% sure (there was only 1 audio feed for the game...or it didn't let me change it). I like this a lot...now when the Marlins knock the Mets out of Playoff contention this year (in a 1 game playoff for the division lead), I can listen to the Marlins announcers cheering, rewind, and listen to the Mets announcers remorsefully putting an end to another Met season...all without having to reload the player.
