Sounds like you didn't use the installer when you installed Livestreamer. The .bat files requires the Livestreamer directory to be added to the PATH system variable. The installer does this automatically, the archive version doesn't.

I just spent ~6 hours researching and editing a Liquipedia article. Don't talk to me about life.

Edit: In entirely unrelated news, Bisu and Flash and Shuttle and Larva a 4th wheel are currently playing together. I'm sure that has no bearing on the conversation, however.

BeSt was playing with them earlier I think it's hero now, only sorta paying attention. I wish I understood Korean because it seems like they get together and just trash talk each other and laugh while observing one another's games. PartinG called Bisu at one point and they were chatting while he was watching and laughing at it.

I have problems getting it to work, have the latest version of VLC, installed livestreamer and deleted/placed the linked files correct. (Tripplechecked)
I get the "No streams found on this URL" error message. (tried every streamer on https://afreecabw.appspot.com/ and they were live if i tried to watch through browser )

Anything i might have done wrong?
I have VLC in a diffrent folder but changed that in the .bat.

Posted this couple days ago. Most likely the issue.

I don't think the installer has the correct afreecatv files that has the new domain URL added.

Couple months ago Afreeca changed their domain URL to afreecatv.com instead of afreeca.com, so "No streams found on this URL" was the result when you tried to watch streams with livestreamer.

Changing the CHANNEL_INFO_URL to "afreecatv.com" fixed the issue. This can be found in the Afreecatv.py -file.

Those "connection timed out" -errors occur to me from time to time, but usually fixes itself.

There's also the chance that the channel is in "+19 age" mode, which means you need a verified Afreeca account or you opened the stream with livestreamer before the channel changed modes.

If you want to watch Brood War on Afreeca get used to seeing stuff like this and having to switch between streams a lot to find the players who are actually playing the game.

I got the same problem as moonlawn: http://screenshot.sh/oAFEvUnXyw8uH

I've used this program for a long time now, but since like a week ago, i've started getting this message and I'm unable to watch anything. Also it's stopped working without any interference from me to the program (why would i do anything when it was working)

Also, when I try to watch stream on-line, I'm getting this: http://screenshot.sh/mMEr5cvy6BAfZ

Any clues? For the past few days, I must watch korhal.info.pl It's not bad, but I'd rather have it live :D


fixed this :

Start -> Run "cmd.exe"
In the command line interface, type the following:

nslookup chromecast.afreeca.gscdn.com

Copy the IP address response, and add it to your hosts file. (See below for instructions.)

This IP address randomizes every once in a while as Afreeca hosts from different servers. If you experience stream lag, you may want to do a quick nslookup and add the new IP address to the hosts file.

How to add something to your hosts file

Google the path to your hosts file if you need to. On Windows 7/8/10 it is:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\

I can't watch Rain's stream for some reason, even though https://afreecabw.appspot.com/ says he's online. Anyone know how to fix this?

I went to check, but he's offline now. It is possible that he had just stopped streaming, but his stream still showed up on the site and in the TL sidebar. It takes a little while for both to refresh properly. Maybe you were trying to connect and he had already left.

Try again later and let me know if the problem persists.

I've tried 3 times when he's been online and no luck. I've checked each time 10-30 minutes later and the site said he was online. Its only his stream though, haven't had this problem with any other stream.

You simply need to add the following lines in the afreeca_x64.bat:
:CASE_rain
set id=ioioiobb
GOTO PLAYER_START

Damn it, I'm bad; I should have checked that. Thank you. Fixed. If you don't want to edit the .bat file yourself you can download the new versions here (also added to the OP):

Windows 64-bit: afreeca_x64.bat
Windows 32-bit: afreeca_x86.bat
