Yeah I noticed that too, most likely cause they are streaming the World Cup and it's not licensed to be streamed outside of Korea. Whole of Korea is watching I think.

I've found MPV ( https://mpv.io/ ) to be better than VLC. It has a less robust GUI and very different keyboard shortcuts, but is a better player otherwise in my experience. Works fine with Streamlink, too.

You can manually change your keyboard shortcuts, here are mine, somewhat similar to VLC:
https://my.mixtape.moe/jgavnc.conf just copy it into your mpv folder and it'll work
Really worth looking into mpv.conf too

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

Try this:

However, you should try:

-Lowering the quality to see if it works (could be a network fck-up)

This fixed it, after I ran into the same problem today with the KCM Race Survival stream. What can I conclude from this? Has my connection with the Afreeca CDN server been worsened somehow since ASL5?

Pls find below the fix for countdown timer (15 sec) while openings the streams.
https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/issues/2061#issuecomment-420941383

or download directly hls.py file and put it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\pkgs\streamlink\stream folder

Excellent. One less irritant always a good thing.

There is one on zip that is available on the post itselt(under the Troubleshooting & FAQ
just look for the "download" question) but that afreeca.py file doesn't work for me.

Also trying to make this work.

I used this method regularly in Linux. Worked great up until roughly a month ago. Haven't been able to connect to a stream since. Went back to browser, expecting there'd be a fix/discussion here. It's not a huge problem for me or I'd have dug up this thread. But yeah, I'm having problems also.

Probably should also mention there was a script fix to omit the irritating countdown, which I applied. Everything was working great, then a short time later (perhaps a week), wasn't able to connect anymore.

I will update the Linux "afreeca.py" version once the streamlink devs fix it.

Doesn't work for me either, the rest of the dl links are broken
If anyone has this working and could upload the latest afreeca.py file that'd be very much appreciated, I'm missing having streams on my second monitor.

Wow, there's suddenly lots of activity in this thread.

Sorry everyone, I'm currently in the middle of a reformat/reinstall. My GPU is also fried and I need to send it in for service. On top of that I'm spending time with mom/family for Christmas.

I still have all the StarCraft stream viewer folders on my old hard drive, but I'll need to copy them all over to the new system. I'll try to update everything once I have some time. I can't do anything about the broken links right now though -- half of them (such as the portable download one) were hosted by other people.

Thanks for the hardwork for the community btw. I'll just be waiting in the meantime and just check youtube vods of the afreeca streams in the meantime instead.

Is there a way to watch vods with VLC?

VLC works well for me livestream, but lately using a browser I've been getting "There was an error with the video." every time I watch afreeca vods. The audio keeps playing though.

I have successfully downloaded them using youtube-dl in order to watch them, but this is inconvenient.
