I get this error message when trying to watch sSak's stream.


Any idea? https://i.gyazo.com/4a1fa8d39dad7a7520711761349c20ad.png


edit: oh I see switching off the AWS thing to the other one works.

I haven't been able to watch any streams from this amazing develop (always getting the "error: No playable streams found on this url: [...]" even knowing someone is live ) since a guy posted this thread on blizz forum:
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20758976068

Did they patched their service to make this unusable?

Edit: bwstreams app is not even working for me...

Yesterday it still worked perfectly, now I get the same error "no playable streams found". Maybe the service is down?

I've checked a few twitch streamers, and they all open fine. So it seems to only affect Afreeca streams..

Alright then. Interesting times.

1) A temporary fix is out.
      • Download afreeca.py (right-click and save as...) and place it in the plugins folder as specified in the OP
      • NOTE: Currently only Amazon AWS works! This is the reverse of previous!

2) Afreeca may be deliberately trying to break this and prevent it from working.

If they are trying to break it, it may be because people have used Streamlink to record videos from Afreeca to upload them elsewhere. If so then this is just a crackdown of one of the many ways this can be accomplished (and not even the simplest way), and therefore horribly misguided.

Plugin developers (the person who just created the fixed afreeca.py file in this post to be precise) have said that it should be a relatively simple (but time consuming) task to create a plugin that will always work. This means there should be a permanent fix eventually if one becomes necessary. In the meantime, here's hoping the current fix remains stable and that Afreeca stops trying to break this (if they are trying to).

Edit: Also if we're back to only one CDN, I'll update the .bat file appropriately. I'll wait a few days to see what the folks at Streamlink have to say about it though.

Edit 2: Added stuff about what may be happening to the plugin.

Aylear, hey... what's up guy? Are you any part of the Github community? I am the OP of the topic (issue) of https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/837

Thanks for the update, Aylear.

10minute, thanks for starting the dev discussion on Github. Keep any nitpicks to PMs instead of mucking up this thread, thanks.

Aww man... you guys do that here? All I did was respond to Aylear's Ultimate Warrior mode. I did no wrong doings nor was my original post offensive. It was his choice to take it offensively so I responded in his format. I guess.........

Hello Aylear, thanks for the software.

I found that some player stream on both Afreeca/Twitch/Youtube at the same time and the bat file auto choose Afreeca stream when type their name.

Twitch have best graphic quality when watching in the source quality so can people choose to watch from Twitch not Afreeca. May be people can type tw or yt after their nickname to choose twitch or youtube source

Ex:
last => afreeca
last tw => twitch


Afreeca graphic (source)

Twitch graphic (source)

I collect some player twitch source, hope it can help you

Hi aya888888, thanks for the super constructive feedback! I'm glad the launcher is useful to people outside of TeamLiquid and I appreciate you signing up just to say this. =) I especially love that you made a list of Twitch/YouTube streams.

To be honest, I have been thinking about adding this functionality to the .bat file somehow, but the feature has been low priority so far because Twitch and YouTube streams tend to play perfectly well without Streamlink. This launcher exists because Afreeca as a service is often unwatchable for people outside of Korea, and Streamlink provides a good solution to that problem. If people want to watch pro players on Twitch or YouTube, it's probably easier to do that in the browser than booting up the command line.

I can poke at the .bat file a bit tomorrow if you really want this feature. I just didn't think anybody needed it.

Thanks for feedback. I think may be it is easier when you type player name and watch it than find their channel on twitch (or find him in bookmark) because most player use Korean in the title so it is hard to find them. And you can adjust video effect like brightness, sharpen ... with VLC.
