To the batch file? You could just type the stream name or edit the batch file to have another case. For instance "Larva" has a stream name of "dpfgc3", which you can see from the afreeca url: http://play.afreecatv.com/dpfgc3

For example:
:CASE_larva
set id=dpfgc3
GOTO PLAYER_START


So you'd add
:CASE_rogue
set id=put_id_here
GOTO PLAYER_START

Is there a working solution to watch Twhitch streams on VLC ? I tried several things I found on google but all seems outdated.

Oh yes, Streamlink works fine for that. If you have it installed (followed the guide in the OP etc), open your command prompt (start -> run, cmd.exe) and type:

streamlink twitch.tv/Day9tv best


Day9 is streaming right now so it's a good time to test.

No problem. It shouldn't be too hard to put together a .bat file for Twitch if you wanted to. It's the adding of names and streams that requires the most manual labor.

Just checked, it was fine for me. Who are you trying to connect to, and with what CDN/quality options?

With the linux version, trying to load a stream I just get -

Anyone got any ideas?

Alright. Checked again. Tried to open Last's stream and got the same error i posted above. (afreeca.com/rlatjdgus228). Rest of the streams on the right side (Flash, Jaedong, Guemchi, Free.. etc) work and open fine.

e. Last and other streams that show the error gets fixed by using other quality options other than aws_hd. Used gs_hd and stream opened fine.

Yep, can confirm. When I tried to open Last's stream on Amazon AWS/HD (aws_hd) it failed, with the error message above. Amazon on Source (aws_original) and on SD (aws_sd) both work, and GSCDN works on all three quality options.

So when you tried aws_hd you found the only combination that doesn't work right now, and I have no clue why.

Yeah. First i thought it could be related to the streamer's resolution and that's why it couldn't open it. Although, i'm also using file-caching on VLC, if that could have something to do with it.

It shouldn't matter. That error would be coming from the streamlink side, file caching (buffering) is done on the player. The error occurs before you even reach VLC. Streamlink is basically just handling requests from the player for byte ranges, so in the case of buffering there are extra requests done so that it has data stored up to play. In this case streamlink can't access the stream bytes in the first place.
