Firstly i got an error message that "Windows cant find streamlink" though i've installed it properly and by moving the .bat file to the "Program Files\Streamlink\bin" forler it was solved...

After installing steamlink and doing all the stuff it still doesnt work for me(((
after entering the name of a streamer (Bisu/rlaxordyd for example. Bisu was surely streaming at that moment) VLC player doesnt show up, i just get this (the path to the player was edited)
[image loading]
can u tell me what can be wrong?

Well, first of all thank you for posting a screenshot. I can see that the text on the .bat file is messed up on your system. What operating system are you using?

For those wondering, the .bat file should look like this:

[image loading]

Since it's confirmed messed up on some systems, I will probably need to create an optional .bat file without the color codes. I'll get started on that right away.

Anyway, on to your problem.

1) If you get a "Windows cannot find Streamlink" error, that almost certainly means that you haven't installed Streamlink properly. The fact that you had to move the .bat file to the Streamlink directory also indicates this, as you should not need to move the .bat file if Streamlink was properly installed.

Did you use the Streamlink nightly installer I linked to? If you just download the mobile .zip version and extract it, Streamlink doesn't get added to your Windows system PATH variable, which means that my .bat file will not work.

2) What operating system are you on? The fact that your .bat file looks wrong (color codes screwed with the text) makes me wonder what's going.

3) Temporarily deactivate your antivirus and try again. Some third party antivirus software will aggressively throttle certain connections, especially from C:\Program Files.

Anyway, your problem is so far unique to you, so it will be hard to troubleshoot.





Edit: With your .bat file being messed up, it is possible that the operating system you're running doesn't know how to handle certain modern .bat file functions. Maybe it doesn't add the quality options.

Try the following:
- Open the command prompt (start menu, type cmd.exe and open it)
- Type streamlink

Does it say "not recognized as a program", or does it say "usage: streamlink-script.py" etc? If it shows "not recognized as a program" then Streamlink was definitely not installed properly.

Use the command prompt to navigate to your Streamlink folder. Copy-paste this into your command prompt window:
cd \Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\bin


Now type the following:
streamlink afreeca.com/rlaxordyd aws_hd


Does the stream load in VLC now?

Edit 2: I see your Windows is installed to D:\, so my commands above probably won't work. Sorry dude, you're on your own.

I use Win XP sp3 ))) maybe thats the problem...
I've downloaded the Streamlink nightly installer U linked to and installed it as usual
colours are the same as in your screenshots, maybe thats just the "Paint" compression artefacts
command prompt says "not recognized as a program"

Aww, yes, that is the problem I'm afraid. Probably also why your .bat file looks messed up, all extra periods and symbols all over the place. As it says on the Streamlink page:

Windows XP is not supported. Windows Vista requires at least SP2 to be installed.

For whatever reason, I haven't had any problems watching on AfreecaTV since the VLC workaround broke. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's good! When I try to do that the stream buffers and freezes for 20 seconds straight, comes back for 0.2 seconds, and then begins another 20 second buffering period. So, you know, screw you. =)

If someone could make a shell version of the bat file maybe we could make it work on linux using wine.

Click on the download software

Contains three files
Program, configuration files, component

If your computer prompts lacks comdlg32.ocx, please register components
If there is no hint that your computer contains the file, please use directly

Oh cool, you updated the app to use Streamlink? I haven't tried it yet but it's looking pretty good. =)

I'm getting this error "Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid". I read on how to fix it but I'm a bit apprehensive of installing anything in my windows folder...

My friend also reflect this problem to me.
This control is an early Windows system components, and this app is written in vb6, so now the Windows complains.

Aylear, YOU ARE MAH HERO!!
Being forced to watch via afreeca was a real pain ever since the last settings didn't work properly anymore and even with the few random small fixes that randomly worked or not didn't work for me.
But now, after following the new guide, IT'S WORKING AGAIN!!
Thank you sooooo much!
Rip & Tear until it is done!
