Ok so I've read the FAQ and re-downloaded and reinstalled a bunch of times, I'm getting this error when trying to connect to any stream:
> error: Unable to open URL: http://resourcemanager.afreeca.tv:9090/broad_stream_assign.html (HTTPConnectionPool(host='resourcemanager.afreeca.tv', port=9090): Max retries exceeded with url: /broad_stream_assign.html?cors_origin_url=play.afreecatv.com&return_type=gs_cdn&broad_key=192176121-flash-original-hls&use_cors=true (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<requests.packages.urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x04A5FC70>, 'Connection to resourcemanager.afreeca.tv timed out. (connect timeout=20.0)')))

Can anyone help?

Hi, and welcome to TeamLiquid.

That's a strange new error message. Could your antivirus software be throttling the connection? Try temporarily disabling it if you haven't done that already.

If it's not your antivirus I'll need more info.

1. What version of Windows are you running?

2. Does this happen no matter which CDN and quality options you choose?

3. Can you use Streamlink and VLC to view streams at all? Try the following:
      a) Open command prompt (Start -> Run, cmd.exe)
      b) Enter the following command:
streamlink twitch.tv/medrybw best

This should open a twitch.tv stream that's always online (MedryBW runs classic old SC/BW VODs)

Hope you can get it working.

just a note: I've fixed this by reducing the quality to "Worst" within the shell

I've tried using this guide but VLC doesn't even open up. It also doesn't give me an error.

It also might just be my pc settings? On both this computer and my work computer, the afreeca streams on TL and on the site just don't load whatsoever. It just has that static logo image. Not sure why but it hasn't happened before.

Any reason why this might be the case?

What result does this give you?

nslookup chromecast.afreeca.gscdn.com


Assuming everything else is configured correctly, it sounds like it could be a network issue where you're unable to reach the video source.

Also have you tried the different CDNs and quality options for a particular stream?

Does anyone have some kind of general set-up guide for streamlink? New PC and can't get the nightly build working. I edited the config file that first opens after installation and selected the VLC player. Tried to open a stream and received an error regarding "Import error module named urllib3". Pretty sure i didn't configure streamlink properly, but last time i did everything was on livestreamer couple years ago.

I've followed instructions on a reinstall, and now when I load the bat64 and type a stream I get no response. VLC doesn't load, but there are no errors presented in cmd.

Thoughts?

I reinstalled vlc and streamlink, tried basic bat, and tried too run the bat as admin but it will not load. Didn't have too do that before...

edit: cmd display when i run streamlink

I am on windows 8. I downloaded python, syntax error, and cygwin will not load for some reason...

I have the master zip for ullib3 from github, where should I place?

I would try installing a stable build and see if that works. Nightly builds are generally unstable and shouldn't be needed for this.

So I've tried portable, standalone and bat. Each install does not respond with VLC or Streamlink being recognized by Windows. When I install using the stable.exe, cmd will recognize Streamlink, but I'll get the urllib3 missing in cmd.

When I run the afreecabat it will not say anything and VLC will not open.

I was running the bat with no issues like 2 weeks ago, ended up deleting all Starcraft related files, and now on the reinstall I'm unable to watch streams.

Guessing at this point it's something system related, don't know if using cygwin messed up pathing, or if using Windows 8 without updating or A/V is the problem.

Also I don't know if its on purpose, but when I try to launch the Streamlink cmd I don't get a chance to input or read anything since it will close out. I'm unfamiliar with programming, but I tried using python too fix urllib3 or import packages, but I was unable too get a response after following the github procedures.

Well nevermind Should have followed through with regcleaner and clearing cygwin before posting as it appears that was the issue and I'm running streams using the nightly build.

Thanks for the help anyways

Care to explain what you did completely? Still having the same issue as you did.

I wonder if there's something else in your %PATH% that's erroneously used when trying to find urllib3. I would try running Streamlink directly through the command prompt/powershell (probably need to remove the %PATH% entry for Streamlink, but you can try it before doing that). Google editing PATH variables if you don't know how. You might also want to post the contents of your path.

In my case I have this folder, so verify that's present.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\pkgs\requests\packages\urllib3


For testing I just used PowerShell:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\bin\" 

.\streamlink --player="C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" afreeca.com/jk890202 aws_hd


Replacing "jk890202" with any online stream.

You can output the contents of your PATH via command/powershell via
echo %PATH%
or just copy/paste it from the Environmental Variables section of your Control Panel (again, see Google).

---

Similar to the above poster, the other github issues I see on this come down to someone having their own installation of Python that seems to be clashing with this program.
