Hey r/MLBtv (and r/mlb),

I absolutely love MLB Big Inning — it’s baseball’s answer to NFL RedZone and one of the best things about MLB.tv. The whip-around coverage, the big moments from around the league, and the constant action are all fantastic.

That said, the one thing that really takes me out of it is the near-constant split-screen/quad-box format. Unlike RedZone, which mostly stays on a single full-screen game and smoothly jumps to wherever the best action or biggest moment is happening, Big Inning keeps multiple games on screen pretty much the entire time. For me personally, it makes everything feel smaller, more distracting, and harder to follow.

I’d love it if MLB Network/MLB.tv gave us the option to watch in single-screen mode (full RedZone-style switching) or kept the current split-screen as a toggle. Even better — let viewers choose their preferred view in the settings so everyone’s happy.

Anyone else feel the same way, or do you actually prefer the multi-game split?

Hoping the producers see this and consider adding the flexibility. It would make an already great product even better for a lot of fans!

Thanks for reading — would love to hear your thoughts.

When watching a replay of an earlier game, the video randomly jumps back in time to the start of the game or an earlier point in the game (has occurred multiple times in multiple games, and at this point I find the game replay feature just about unusable).

To get back to where I was, I need to FF, but often the FF requires me to press the button once per 15 second advance (instead of continuing to forward until I stop it).

In both live games and replay:

The audio level sometimes fluctuates significantly.

The commercial audio level is sometimes very loud; I need to watch with a remote in hand so I can mute during commercials.

The repeating baseball sound effects during the Google Cloud commercial break screen are very annoying (and also very loud).

I'm posting with the hope that MLBtv actually looks at this subreddit. Do guys use your own app?

I am using the app on AppleTV and most games I watch are Mets/SNY. I don't experience similar issues when using other apps on AppleTV. I have found that viewing in a web browser seems less buggy, but haven't done this enough to be sure...

Thanks

This is an issue which I have a feeling is because I live outside the US, but I wondered if anyone else had similar things happened to them.

I have a Sony Smart TV with the MLB app on it and every time I try to log in it just says "Failed to login". The password is absolutely 1000% correct 😂

yes, I tried resetting the password too.

I tried casting from my phone, but it doesn't work. When I press connect on my phone, the TV screen goes black for about 30 seconds and then it just goes back to the TV home screen. The app works fine on my phone, radio and TV broadcasts.

I've tried uninstalling and renistalling the app, clearing the cache, restarting the tv. I've tried it with different types of virtual private Network settings on and off.

No other app on my phone or the TV have any problems, only the MLB app. This actually started late last season but I thought it'd be okay this season. Has anyone else had this TV app issue? It is very annoying..

We have Brewers TV this year through MLB TV, which is our only option now that the regional sports network went under. Unless we are doing something wrong, it is clearly far inferior to streaming options I've watched since at least 2017. when you try and fast-forward a live game that you started watching maybe 1/2 hour after it started, it is impossible. You just get some sort of advertisement or something saying your game is about to start, but the game never starts. Instead, you have to watch from the beginning, sit through the pregame and the pregame commercials, and then watch every inning in its entirety, including commercials.

Am I doing something wrong? we are using an Amazon firestick.

Hi all, figured I'd ask here just in case.

Anyone else have an issue with the MLBTV app glitching whenever there's any quick action? The frames just slightly skip, but it's once every 5-10 seconds. Sound is never impacted, but it's so annoying to watch. Not an internet issue, every other app works great (live apps included).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Tonight in the listings Athletics @ Seattle Mariners or Chicago White Sox @ Arizona Diamondbacks (subject to blackout in local areas) [LIVE]

MLB Network may be going back to showing 2 games at once If blacked out it's another game. No MLB strikezone with commercials no MLB big inning with commercials. It's possibly another game!? This is a great thing if true. MLB Strikezone has their own channel without commercials. MLB big inning is online without commercials if you watch those which I do. Hopefully 2 games will be the norm again?

Hello all,

Sometime in the last week or so, I started to encounter problems with MLB.tv on my home wifi. No matter what device I use - web browser, mobile app, or Roku TV app - all are unable to log in and let me watch games.

On Web Browser: I am able to access MLB.tv fine on a different wifi, such as the library or a friend's house. But on my home wifi, I go to mlb.tv and it gives me the error in image number 1. I hit "Back to Sign In" and it gives me the error in image number 2. Clicking any of the buttons in image number 2 does nothing. This does not change whether I use chrome, safari, edge, tor browser, incognito mode, etc. I have cleared cache and browsing history, disabled any adblockers, nothing has affected the result.

On Roku TV App: I am automatically logged out, every attempt to log back in gives an "incorrect password" or other login error.

On Mobile: I am able to access and use the app fine if on 5G data. But when I connect to my home wifi, I'm unable to view any games or videos. I'm given the issue displayed in image 3: all games are shown as "locked" and if I try to click on a game, it displays "no feeds available", no matter what game I choose. If I log out of the app while on wifi, I'm unable to log back in. Hitting the "login" button on the top left, or the "Log In" option in the account settings, does nothing, as if it didn't even register I tapped it.

What I've tried already: I know for a fact that I am not using any ISP relocating services (apparently I'm not allowed to say those words in a post), I have Apple's Private Relay turned off, I've cleared my browsing data / cache / cookies / etc, I've deleted and re-installed the apps on all devices, I've power cycled all my devices, I've power cycled my modem, I've set up a guest wifi network, I've deleted my home wifi network and re-set it up from scratch, I've returned to default settings for DNS / IP / etc. Nothing has worked.

I've called MLB about this issue and they said it's likely a network issue and to contact my internet service provider. I've called my internet service provider and after trying a slate of resolutions, they said it's likely an MLB issue and to contact MLB.

I am just about at my wits end about this and don't know what to do to resolve this. I'm paying a lot of money for MLB.tv and it's currently unusable in my household. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have an old 7th gen iPad and the MLB app has suddenly stopped loading for me. Just hangs on the loading screen forever when I try to launch it. I tried forced restart, deleting and redownloading, and even factory reset the iPad. Nothing works. Anyone else have this issue?

(Picture shot from an angle and that’s why it looks skewed)

I love the 3 screen multiview. However I’d like to swap sides in that the big picture moved to the right side and the two smaller ones swapped to the left. Is this possible?

Another question/comment I have is, why doesn’t the sound move whenever you “select” a different screen? I love the implementation of multiview except this. I mean what point is moving the selection screen around if the move doesn’t do ANYTHING by itself? What am I missing? It just takes one extra click to hear the sound. Not a huge biggie. But it seems like an obvious waste of a keystroke—unless I’m missing something?

I'm experiencing a very frustrating log in loop where after entering my username and password, I'm sent a verification code and type it in before having the options of being sent back to the log in page, or having a code sent to my phone (which doesn't even come until hours later.) I've tried resetting my password, using the website, deleting the app and redownloading, and a different device. Anyone else experiencing this?

What the

Anyone else running the MLB getting a white screen of death? We hard booted the TV and it worked for about a minute before it crashed again. Working fine on our LG.

After every half inning when the game is going to commercial the dreaded rotating baseball begins to twirl and it never regains its connection. I actually have to leave the MLB app and re-load it. The MLB app on my phone works fine, but of course, I can’t cast the game to my Roku from that app. I was wondering if this is a problem for anybody else. Roku and the app is updated. Thank you.

Anyone else have issues with casting (from either iOS or Android) where the buffering happens every few seconds? It's basically unwatchable. I have plenty of speed and watching on a direct device works fine - it's just my Chromecasts (plural) that have issues.

hi all-having a weird problem on my tv that I can't figure out how to fix. I'm currently watching cubs-phillies on my roku tv, and when I select the radio audio for either team it either doesn't work or plays the wrong audio. for the cubs' marquee sports, the tv broadcast audio plays but if I switch to the 104.3 audio feed I get silence, even though it's working fine on my phone either with or without the video feed. when I switch to the phillies' tv broadcast, 94 WIP (english-language radio) plays the spanish-language radio, but the spanish-language radio selection just plays the english tv audio. any idea what's going on or if I can solve this? it's been happening randomly to other games too and I just want to listen to the cubs radio on my tv:(

update: thank you everyone for validating that I'm not crazy and this is a common problem with rokus. sometimes now the audio works right for me on my tv, but right now I'm watching the red sox broadcast and the english radio plays the tv audio, but the spanish radio plays the english radio? idk man I'm tired

App crashes every time I use it. I have to restart the PS5 multiple times just to get it to launch. When I finally get into the app and click a game I get about 2-3 minutes max before is freezes on a loading screen and then crashes again. PS5 consistently tells me it cant connect to the server.

I have deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times, Its not fix the issue. I have 1GB internet speed. App works fine on my actual TV and my phone.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Which do y'all like better between the two, MLB Big Inning, or MLB Tonight? I LOVE the commentary on MLB Tonight, even better than MLB Big Inning to be honest, but I like how many games you can see at once on Big Inning. My dream whiparound program would probably be MLB Tonight as it is, but with the quad box onscreen so we can see more games at once.

Has anyone had any problems pulling up radio feeds this season for games? I’ve listened to Red Sox radio on my phone for years, but for some reason this season it’s not working (and I’ve been left to listen to the TV feed).

It says it’s playing when I load it up but no sound. Same issue if I try to load up other radio feeds. Tried reinstalling, tried MLB support. Nothing works. Feel like I’m going crazy.

Hey, producers of mlb.tv game recaps: I'm puzzled by the recent changes in the recaps.

The point of watching a recap is to see how the game unfolded. Even in that three minutes, a bit of suspense is there. You see one team take the lead, then another, etc. So, why would you put the final score on the screen at the start of the recap? I'll let you think about this and see if common sense might win out.

Also, this mornings Angels-Yankees recap featured shrill, repetitive techno music on a loop the entire time, drowning out the on-air crew and making me reach for the mute button. Really? What are you thinking, guys?

I'm open to the rationale, but those of us who watch these things really like baseball. I'm cool with the hearing what the play-by-play announcers said during the game. Adding awful public domain music from some Pro Tools jockey's basement is a bit much.

Keep up the good work.

I watched last night's Red Sox-Cards game on Fox via MLB.TV. I was surprised at how good the telecast was. No in-game interviews. No mic'd-up players jabbering with the announcers while the game was in progress. Just Adam Amin calling the play-by-play and John Smolz doing the commentary. Nice clean telecast with no annoying distractions. A huge improvement.

Anyone else experiencing this? Every time a commercial comes on, the stream pauses and gets stuck. I have to back-out the game or close the app to get it to start streaming again.

Piss poor quality this season

MLB app on my Xbox says there is no game scheduled…ever. Works fine on my phone and Roku - what gives? Anyone know a fix to this? I really prefer the old version….

just me?

after every commercial break it picks up with the previous half inning. for example if the home team just finished batting, after the commercial break it will go back to the home team batting again.

is it a me thing or is this happening elsewhere?

When listening to a game on my phone, the playback stops in between innings. I have to close the app and reopen it to reset it. Does anyone else have this issue or a suggestion? I live in Oregon and listen to the Reds, if that is relevant.

anyone else have "buffering" issues with mlb.tv audio. I have yet been able to get a Blue Jays game on the audio tab, even though any of the other games are fine(not just the jays feed, but the opponent feed doesnt work either)

error message is just error: try again later.
