I am trying to watch a baseball game on mlb (at bat).

when i go to sign in, this is what i get:

You have launched an event that is only accessible with Adobe Flash Player.

To watch this event, please install the latest version. Download»
If Flash is installed, please enable the Adobe Flash plugin in your browser settings. For instructions, please click here».

i have downloaded the newest version and fallowed through all the steps (i clicked on "here" enabling the adobe flash plugin, and its saying its all good), restarted and shut down my computer, and its still not working. what am i doing wrong? how can i get it to work?

[edit: added 'mlb.com' to title]

Unfortuantely, no 'free live game of the day' is currently available, so I wasn't able to test this out.

However, all browser vendors are moving to html5 video by default and making Flash click-to-play resulting in mixed user-experience (sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't).  Google also has the added Site Engagement Index score that they are continuously increasing until it reaches 100% later this year.  If the score for a given site isn't high enough, Flash is disabled by default.

Please provide the following:

  • Operating System, including version
  • Browser, including version
  • Direct link to the content exhibiting the behavior (providing only www.mlb.com is not sufficient, exact link to content is needed)

I've had the same problem, for months now. Can only watch on Android tablet (which, of course, does not use Flash). Tried everything. In my case, running Windows 7 Professional, SP1. Browser is Chrome Version 58.0.3029.110.  (updated regularly, so previous versions, going back to at least March of 2017, did not work either). Go to http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter/index.jsp  and select any game (use the Free Game of the Day, if you don't have a paid mlb account). The URLs for individual games change on a daily basis, so I cannot provide a link any more direct than this one.

(By the way, it doesn't run on Firefox either, though you don't get a message; just endless loading. It does run in Internet Explorer, though with garbled audio, worse in full screen.)

I have the same problem. The games were on one day and unavailable due to Flash problems the next. After screwing around for a long time I finally discovered I can watch if I use Safari instead of Chrome by bringing up the game I want and then going to Preferences and allowing mlb.com. Kind of annoying but it works for me.

This just worked for me:

In the upper right (next to the star) is the plugins icon. I opened that and clicked on "run all plugins this time". The game appeared! Hallelujah!

You have to do it each time but it beats bringing up Safari.
