Maybe it is common knowledge, maybe it has been posted before, but I haven't read it yet anywhere and it might help people, so I thought I would post this, as this seems to be the topic it fits into the best.

Generally a lot of people have trouble watching OSL streams a they seem to be often laggy beyond watchable, or they simply can't watch the games live. WFbrood has them up really fast, but I often experience a bug with them. They simply buffer to a certain point in the game, and don't load beyond that however long one waits, unless one watches the game up to that point, in which case it starts buffering really slow again. Basically it is worse than watching the streams live.

If you have experienced this problem before, and want a spoilerless, fast solution for this, here is how:

1 Open the wfbrood site, on the right is easy to find which chinese written link represents the latest playday, it is usually highlighted somehow (special color + the OSL, MSL, Last Saga or the most popular player's name is there). Click it.

2 As the link loads, scroll down to the bottom without looking. The results are on the top, the vod links are under it, so scroll up until you see the games, but not the results. Click on the game you want to watch. A wfbrood embed link appears of the vod.

3 Click full screen on the vod link. This brings up a new window where you can watch it in full screen (doh) but it is now on youku.com.

4 Copy the youku link, and open clipnabber.com. This site allows you to download embedded links from most sites. Paste the link to where it asks you to, and click nab video. The page refreshes, and several links of part1 to part n appear. The download speed is low, but it allows paralell download, so save each of them one after the other onto your HD.

5 The site seems to randomly save the chunks into flv or html format, but that doesn't matter. You don't even need to rename them. Once the parts finish downloading, just drag them into GOMplayer, it plays them fine. They are usually confusing long names, but at around the 7th - 8th character, the chunks are set in order by two numbers from 00 to 0x. Or you can go by date of creation. Or probably rename them as you save them.

zizi ~yo, fresh, easy-to-watch OSL vods in 15 mins, no buffering, rewatchable anytime on your PC, no spoilers, no need to wait for youtube or torrent links. The quality usually isn't the highest, but it is good enough. And they are released pretty fast after the games.

Enjoy
