Macs do not support .bat files so I doubt it. Idk if there's a bat file equivalent type program on macs, but you'd have to rewrite the code in the file anyways for the mac to understand it.

nvm it works but it's so slow still. and takes awhile to load. kinda scared me cuz i typed Sea like 10 times and all of a sudden 10 vlcs popped up
It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you got to do it every day. That's the hard part. But it does get easier.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present the reason this guide even exists. =) Hi Malki, thanks for making the original. You are the man.

What happened to defiler.ru though? The link to the original guide is broken and I can't find it again.

Most likely Flash had recently gone offline and the TeamLiquid sidebar hadn't refreshed yet. I've watched his stream many times so I don't think it's a problem with your setup.

Next time you can't connect to someone, click on their stream in the TL sidebar to see if you can view them in your browser.

Really no lag, which is great, but soulkey stream doesnt work for some reason. No stream found on this URL And he is online. How to fix it ?

Hi, I just checked and you are correct! Soulkey hasn't been added to the .bat file. I'll fix that and upload a new one in a little while. In the meantime you can connect to his stream by typing "MinChul" instead of Soulkey.

Edit: If you want to do it yourself just add the following lines to the .bat file:

:CASE_soulkey
set id=minchul
GOTO PLAYER_START


Uploading new ones in a minute.

Edit 2: Fixed. Download the latest .bat file if you need to. =)

Thank you. One more thing tho.
There is no Shine at https://afreecabw.appspot.com/
Not even among offline streams.

The new version is at https://bwstreams.appspot.com/ which does have Shine on it. Whoever maintains these hasn't updated the old one in a while.

Huh, same here. I can't even watch his stream on Afreeca right now even though it says he's online.

The timeout error message indicates a connection issue with Afreeca. Maybe the server that's hosting GuemChi right now is particularly bad for foreigners. In that case there's nothing we can do about it but wait.

Livestreamer is abandoned, no commit and no requests pulled for 9 months, even with small bug fixes. Probably, everyone should start using one of its forks, like streamlink. afreecatv.com url bug is fixed there (although only in master branch, no fix in pip for now), https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink/pull/90/commits/6c893aa13129fe7199c6ef9c7750f64dd03a14d4

btw, quick howto for linuxoids:


python -m venv afreeca_bw
source afreeca_bw/bin/activate
pip install streamlink
sed -i afreeca_bw/lib/python3.4/site-packages/streamlink/plugins/afreeca.py -e 's/\/\\d+/(\/\d+)?/'
# of wget raw commit from github
streamlink [url=http://play.afreecatv.com/byflash]http://play.afreecatv.com/byflash[/url] worst --player "mplayer -vf scale=1280:1024"


EDIT: although code tags, forum engine messed link, so, you should manually delete url tags around link to stream

I have a working fork in my repo with afreeca fixes included. I also created a similar to windows startup script for linux: afreeca.sh. It is even better because it allows you to see who's currently online and run the stream.
