Do you get the stream open with just "best" or "gs_hd" instead of aws_hd?

I can't get any streams open regardless of what server or stream quality I use


Sorry, wish i could help more. The newest nightly build without switching any .py files work for me.


I've tried a couple of the latest livestreamer builds with the updated py and original py files and still get the same issue, anyone know what I can do?

Fantastic guide. Got it working within 2 minutes. A world of difference between watching in the website, 0 lag!
Thank you!

Over a decade later, I finally got to give VioleTAK a little something in return for literally letting me watch StarCraft.

You are very welcome, mate. <3

Hello, I keep getting the following error :
error: The available stream(s) 'aws_original' could not be found. Available streams: live_hls, live (worst, best)

Even with the updated py file, I'm sure I overwritted it. Any clue ? Thanks
EDIT: Nvm, I didn't had the right to overwritte the py file, it was the original. It works now.

To all Linux users.

I have dropped my livestreamer fork and switched to streamlink backend.
Now, to watch the bw streams via vlc you'll only need a bash script which you can take from here.

As usual, you'll need to replace the afreeca.py (if you still haven't) which is installed with streamlink with the one here.

The script can check who's online, set "aws_original", "aws_hd" or "aws_sd" quality of streams. Run multiple vlc stream instances (unless you explicitly forbid it in vlc config) with different players.

Here is a github repo with the instructions and the required files.

This is working for me on the latest osx (Sierra). Thank you! The bash script doesn't seem to work, but you can easily figure out how to run the last line which does the job.

If anybody is struggling to make it work on the mac let me know.

That's probably because afreeca once again changed the quality of streams from aws_original to live_hls and live (best, worse).
I have set default quality to live.

This is not problem quality of streams.

host='sessionmanager01.afreeca.tv', port=6060

Telnet doesn't work, so maybe port changed...

Yup. Happened with livestreamer back in the day as well. It's plugin issue from Afreeca's side. Gotta wait for a fix.

aws_original and both 'gs' ones work, aws_hd doesn't. Unfortunately original buffers too much and hd is more of an sd or even ld, but oh well.

the latest Streamlink build and the gs_hd option works for me. Silly question but did you try a clean install?

I've been trying to replicate the problems you guys are having, but every CDN and quality option combination works for me. I can connect to everyone just fine, and with fewer problems (and less delay) than ever before.

Maybe try a now-older version of Streamlink? Could be the most recent nightly builds aren't doing the trick any more, but I don't know for sure. I'm hesitant to start messing with it since it's still working flawlessly for me.

Bug report: I need to enter a player's name twice before the stream pops up and if I want to watch another one, the same stream will open once more so again I need to input the second player's id twice and this cycle continues.

Other than that, works perfect for me . Great work!

Try "Reach12", that's his Afreeca ID. Reach (and a couple others) haven't been added to the .bat file, that's the problem. =)

also, as i just found out, you can edit the file by right-click and find all the user stream sections, and just copy paste the current words exactly, and input the new streamer.

2) Install Streamlink

• Install Streamlink (download the "nightly Windows installer")

Iam lost on this step. Cant find any "download" button anywhere. Also dont see any "nightly windows installer".
Can download stuff in "windows portable version" but not sure i should?
Need help here.


EDIT: Found a "streamlink 0.7.0.exe". Is this the correct one?

EDIT2: Got it to work.
