I just got news that "afstar3" may be coming back this season, which is the POV stream. I quickly added it to the .bat file.

Starcraft Stream Viewer.bat

Let me know if there are any problems beyond that. Kind of working in a rush here!


EDIT: The following name entries will let you connect to either of the streams:

Primary Korean stream:
       • asl1
       • asl
       • afstar1

Primary English stream (Tastosis):
       • asl2
       • asleng
       • aslenglish

Secondary English stream (EsportsJohn & FlashFTW):
       • asl3
       • asleng2
       • aslenglish2
       • asl2eng2

POV Stream (rumored):
       • asl4
       • aslpov

Bumping because I updated the .bat file again to update it for the new EsportsJohn + FlashFTW stream. Grab it if you want to watch them. ASL3.

Any support for Mac? I had it working two months and now it seems to be broken. I have tried reinstalling a number of times via terminal.

Error code is as follows (have tried multiple urls which give the same result):

ASL english isn't working for me, but I only just set this up. Probably minutes after you updated it.

Will retry, otherwise you've made a mistake! One moment.

edit: Okay, must have just set this up *a minute* before the update, but vlc isn't opening. Still working on it.

The Tastosis ASL stream is here: http://play.afreecatv.com/aslenglish

It looks smooth to me so you might not need to use VLC for this.

Am I the only one with lag issues? Even on 720p it stops every now and then. I do have a solid connection with 24 Mbit/s download. Pretty strange.

Also I get this error:

For some reason I can't connect to EsportsJohn & FlashFTW's stream with this (ASL3), I get this:

error: Unable to open URL: [url=http://resourcemanager.afreeca.tv:9090/broad_stream]http://resourcemanager.afreeca.tv:9090/broad_stream[/url]
_assign.html (400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: [url=http://resourcemanager.afre]http://resourcemanager.afre[/url]

h-original-hls&use_cors=true&cors_origin_url=play.afreecatv.com)


I have no idea why this is happening and I don't have time to muck with it right now as the player interviews are currently happening and the tournament is starting.

FOR THE REST OF YOU: If you are returning customers for whom this has worked previously and you are now having problems with the new .bat file, specify that this is the case when you post errors.

If you are new customers who are trying to use this for the first time and are having problems getting it to work, specify that when you post error messages.

I can only say that it works fine on my end (except ASL3 for some reason), with no problems and no lag. I am also on Discord talking to people who are watching it just fine as well.

Don't use play.afreeca.com, syntax is:

streamlink afreeca.com/aslenglish gs_hd

Try that and let me know.

I have the same error and it started happening without me changing anything, it was already happening with the original unchanged .bat file that had worked previously, it started during the 2nd day of the ASL qualifier

Try turning off your firewall. It may be aggressively throttling your connection to this.

Alright, ASL is over for today and I need to head off. If anyone is having problems using Streamlink+VLC and want to fix it before tomorrow's games, now's the time to post. I'll try to help you troubleshoot stuff later (will be around in roughly 10 hours). =)

Cheers.

I still cannot connect to FlashFTW and EsportsJohn's stream using Streamlink. I'm currently watching aslenglish (main Tastosis stream) just fine though.

Again, have to use GSCDN, since Amazon AWS is out of commission at the moment.

Guys, is there any way to improve my ability to watch afreeca without installing anything? I can't even start any streams from my work network nowadays (it used to be slightly better, but only slightly). Twitch works fine.

The portable "install" version should work out of the box without installing anything to the PC. The only downside to that version is that the .bat file may not be completely up to date so you'll want to nab that separately.
