Sucks for tonight.

For perspective, can you tell us how many nights it has worked well vs how many nights you haven't been able to watch? (be honest!)


Ok I will be honest I will say that if GSL streams 5 nights a week, I get crashes at least 2 nights for at least 20-30 min each and sometimes I cant get the stream to work again. My problem tonight is that I really wanted to see Jinros games, and Ive been working evenings lately so I dont watch as much of the GSL as I did last year (which was every day) I understand that the streams work a lot more than it doesn't but all im saying is that the problem is there and happens often 2 out of 5 nights with a crash doesnt seem acceptable for a major tournament like this.

If you have this much trouble the problem is most likely on your end in some way, not GOMTV's, as it's not the norm in any way. A blanket statement like GOMTV sucks, as a result of your troubles, is childish.

I probably watch 80% of all GSL games, and I've yet to see more than 1 time where it crashed and I couldn't simply reopen the player right away to find it working again.

Yes, I watched almost all the games with Jinro, IdrA, MC, MVP, and I have no problems with the stream at all. Of course the site can be slow from times to times, but the stream itself? Never. So I personally think that for a FREE service, GOM is doing an awesome job on the stability of the stream. And a free stream, for 100% of both the Code A and Code S games, crashing from time to time for some people means GOM sucks?

Can you please go yell at ESPN and NHL that they suck, so they put up FREE streams of ALL NHL games? Even though they crash once in a while, I'll be glad to watch them on there. Because you know, companies who suck and don't care about their viewers obviously set up free worldwide streams for all their content...

In case you wondered, no I don't have a season ticket, I watch the free stream, and it still works well.

Agreed, title hurts esports. It's like someone coming along and giving esports a charlie horse for no reason.

Wouldn't it be more productive for GOM if they made a deal with Youtube to stream the free standard quality live on Youtube, so that the site would stop crashing and also free up the staff's time from hunting down GSL videos on Youtube like the Spanish Inquisition?

I think that would benefit both paying customers when the bandwidth load is eased off the site (no more crashes!), and free users, for the free users will end up using someone else's (Youtube's) bandwidth since they aren't contributing to revenue anyhow, and they could throw down banners every 5-10 minutes telling Youtube's free viewers that much better streams and quality can be had for paying viewers.

GomTV sucks, I agree. OGN has never demanded a single cent for their stream yet the stream never stopped working at random times, they released the vods for free, they never demanded stupid copyright either. Now, we look at GomTV. If you want to watch while being able to see anything besides the terrain, you have to pay. Restreams are not allowed even in their conditions. They want money for VODs as well, they get all this money and yet nothing works without problems. Either OGN has some magical thing that is also used by MBCGame (their stream doesn't suck as well) or GomTV really sucks. I don't know how else I can explain my frustration for GomTV.

I keep getting error code: 0x000000051

The GomLab tells me to click the button that says: Find Codec

Problem is, that button does not exist. My error message says 'Confirm that you are running the correct codec.'

WTF? Help? I really want to watch Code S. I've searched for a solution for an hour. Now I turn to you guys... Sorry if this has already been addressed.

I can only watch for 15 seconds at a time. Then I have to close and reopen. FML.

they require me to download a player that sucks in order to view their streams, and even the high quality setting is shitty...I uninstalled the player right away and now want to cancel my account there.

I don't know why but your post made me laugh really hard D:

On topic: I think GOM is doing a good job for esports, and I actually don't have the site/stream crash on me at all. :o
