Yes, that's the latest stable build. I definitely recommend that over the unstable nightly build.

For other people's reference:

https://streamlink.github.io/install.html#windows-binaries

Green arrow takes you to the page with the latest stable release. Gray arrow downloads the nighty.

Hiya, can someone help me test the new .bat file before I update the OP? Due to the recent influx of Brood War streamers on Twitch after the SCR launch, I have added support for multiple platforms (Afreeca and Twitch for now), and I have changed things around a little bit. Quality options are now set when you connect to a stream instead of at the start, which was necessary to support multiplatform (and makes it easier to try different quality options if one starts buffering).

Windows (Vista SP2, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10) (32 and 64-bit):
Starcraft Stream Viewer.bat (right-click and save link as)

I've added Reach, GoRush, IntoTheRainbow, Garimto, and a few more names to the script that were missing. These connect to Afreeca as normal.

If you type in any of the following names, it will try to connect to their Twitch:
Ret, Incontrol, Demuslim, Day9, Hui, BratOK, MedryBW.
Edit: Added Nony, Scan, Dragon, Shrinker, Oystein to that list too.

If no one else is online, try connecting to MedryBW, which is the 24/7 classic SC/BW starleague/proleague channel.

I've also made it so that if you type a name the script does not recognize, you can choose to search for it on the platform of your choice.

Help me try to break the .bat file by inputting weird shit too. I want to make sure it's bug free.

EDIT: I also need a preliminary list of Twitch streamers who are streaming SC1 to add to the .bat file. If you want to help (or just want someone added to the .bat file) give me some players to add.

EDIT 2: Got someone to test the file for me. Everything seems to be working so I've updated the OP accordingly. Happy viewing! <3

Getting this error after selecting a quality. Tried both CDNs and didn't make a difference. Any idea what I need to change to prevent this connection timing out?

I get the same errors. If I use the aws_sd setting a 10-second video countdown occurs and then it's audio only.

Looks like the Afreeca plugin needs an update again.

For me it works with Twitch, but not with Afreeca. Im getting the same timeout error like the others.

Hiya,

Can you clarify that this problem...

error: Unable to open URL: http://sessionmanager01.afreeca.tv:6060/broad_stream_assign.html (HTTPConnectionPool(host='sessionmanager01.afreeca.tv', port=6060): Max retries exceeded with url: /broad_stream_assign.html?use_cors=true&broad_key=195313113-flash-hd-rtmp&return_type=gs_cdn&cors_origin_url=m.afreeca.com&broad_no=195313113-mobile-hd-rtmp (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x0423A5D0>, 'Connection to sessionmanager01.afreeca.tv timed out. (connect timeout=20.0)')))

...happened because you hadn't replaced the Streamlink afreeca.py file with the one in the OP?

Could you perhaps also update the https://bwstreams.appspot.com/ with all the current (and newly added) players?

That's not my website! I don't actually know who maintains it, but I don't think it's anyone from TeamLiquid.

The appspot site has a more complete list of Korean pros, semi-pros, tournament streams, etc. than TeamLiquid does, which (deliberately) mostly features the popular ones. On the other hand, the TeamLiquid live stream section features a lot of foreigners which are not in the appspot database.

I've thought about making a simple Windows program that checks who's online (as an optional separate download), but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

This needs a bumping, I see a lot of people on twitch complaining that Afreeca streams are laggy. You should experience little or no lag with this solution.

Looks like a recent AfreecaTV Update broke the streamer? Now AfreecaTV requires an App or log in (At least for Jaedong)?

He is in 19+ mode right now, i would assume that's the reason. Unless you could watch that before?
