It gave me that error even after logged in. Whatever they do to validate your session token every time you try to watch a video also goes through that server. If it keeps you from watching videos even after logged in, it doesn't matter that it's not the video server itself.


It does matter... because this discussion is about the relative merits of MLB's video service, not HBO's shit frontend.

The fact that Game of Thrones didn't work is not MLB's fault.


The authentication server is clearly MLB's software. If you check the stack trace, it's com.bamnetworks which is them.


Yep, you're right! Good catch. Here's an exception I captured,

[Unexpected Exception] [com.bamnetworks.registration.types.exception.UnexpectedRegistrationException] Caused by [java.util.concurrent.RejectedExecutionException: Task scala.concurrent.impl.Future$PromiseCompletingRunnable@213cefb1 rejected from java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor@78721c64[Running, pool size = 2000, active threads = 2000, queued tasks = 5000, completed tasks = 5842]]"

And looks like com.bamnetworks owns the MLB.com android app,
