Nah, I get "Request timeout for icmp_seq" 30 times. Guess that means that it does not see it? What could the problem be?

Either your machine, your network, or your ISP is not allowing a connection to that server. First, see if other machines on your network can ping it. If not, then see if you can go around your router (hook directly into the modem) and ping it. If still not, then have a friend with the same ISP you have try to ping it. Once you find the point where you can ping the server, you can discover what it may be (outgoing firewall on your computer vs. firewall on router vs. ISP block)

If you followed the steps correctly and it didn't work, try this:

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.


I tried and it still says Insufficient permissions and I tried manually copy/paste overwriting and it successfully overwrites but I still get the unavailable stream worst / best type error. What do I do ??? My error is The specified stream(s) 'gs_original ' could not be found. Available streams: aws_sd (worst), aws_hd, aws_original (best)

Nevermind I just realized that the CDN only works on Amazon AWS right now I was still trying the previous.

Just tried it. Amazon AWS, connected to Flash and Larva, selected Source quality. Both played perfectly.

This is what I get when I try to run streams now, guess Afreeca is blocking?

Edit: Nvm, seems to work now, guess you just have to restart it a bunch.

Try switching to the Flash player. For some reason HTML5 player stopped working for me as well.

Quick question. I've been using this for ages but I've never been sure - does viewing this through VLC still give viewer counts to the afreeca stream? I've always wondered and I hate to think I'm not doing my bit.

Damn, I hope that's not true. Hopefully they'll keep an eye on the youtube views as well. Thanks!

I ran into this error watching Piano 2v2 3v3 SL (organ333). The stream would open the second time, but only run for 2-5 seconds before the screen freezes and I am looking at a screenshot with commentary continuing. I already have the .py fix installed, do I need to switch back to the old one?

It has worked for me all throughout ASL, has something changed since then?

I've had troubles certain days when the streams won't open for timeout request but nothing like that..

The old .py may not work since the fix was made because it didn't, so i would say no but you could try.
However, you should try:
-Leaving both, the first vlc(the one who gets the countdown to 0) and second (with the stream going) opened.
-Lowering the quality to see if it works (could be a network fck-up)
-Reinstalling vlc(+updating the file path for it to open)
-& for last try again going from 0 (reinstalling everything this feature needs).

If all that doesn't work you should give extra info (detailed ScreenShots or some clip) to check out for some help.
