Guys, I keep getting this error:
No streams found on his URL: afreeca.com/

It's been mentioned a couple of times throughout this thread that the problem lies in the afreecatv.py file, where he domain needs to be changed. The thing is I've got all the files from the OP which supposedly has been updated to the newest version. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

EDIT:
CHANNEL_INFO_URL = "http://live.afreecatv.com:8057/api/get_broad_state_list.php"
That's what I've got inside the afreecatv.py file. Should it be like that?

it should be play.afreeca.com/< channel name >



I've changed it to what you said, didn't solve the issue. I keep getting the same error.

livestreamer version 1.12.2

this is what i found when i opened livestreamerrc with editpad:
+ Show Spoiler +
# Format is option=value. Lines starting with a # is considered comments
# and are ignored.

# By default livestreamer will attempt to locate VLC on your system
# and use that, but you can also specify the location of a player
# yourself.

# Important: You must use a quoted path if there are spaces in the path. This
# is because the player command is parsed like a shell command to allow
# parameters to be passed to the player.

# Here is a few examples of players:

# VLC
#player="C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
#player="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"
# Using --file-caching is recommended, but is only supported in VLC 2.0+
#player="C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --file-caching=5000
#player="C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --file-caching=5000

# MPC-HC, must be at least version 1.7 to be used
#player="C:\Program Files (x86)\MPC-HC\mpc-hc.exe"

# MPlayer2
#player=C:\mplayer2\mplayer2.exe -cache 4096


# Use this if you want to transport the stream to the player via a named pipe.
#player-fifo

# Use this if you want to transport the stream to the player via HTTP.
#player-http

# Use this if you want Livestreamer to only pass a URL to your player and
# let it handle the transport of the stream itself.
#player-passthrough=http,hls,rtmp

# By default Livestreamer will close the player when stream is over.
# Use this option to let the player stay or close itself instead.
#player-no-close

# Use this option if you want Livestreamer to keep trying to access
# the stream even if it goes offline or disconnects. Your player must
# support HTTP and its playlist should be set to repeat mode.
#player-continuous-http

# Show console output from the video player
#verbose-player

# RTMP streams are downloaded using rtmpdump. Full path to the rtmpdump exe
# should be specified here.
rtmpdump=C:\Program Files (x86)\Livestreamer\rtmpdump\rtmpdump.exe

# Log level, default is info

Well, I followed every step of the installation process in the other guide. I then reinstalled VLC in program files. And then I also changed the channel_info thingy, like you said.

Where am I supposed to delete those? And where do I get the files i need to paste? + how to get the error log? Sorry, all I can do is play games on the computer.

EDIT: Are you talking about the 1 plugin that needed to be replaced and 1 stream file that also needed to be changed?

delete hls.pyc, paste hls.py ( in their correct locations )

show the whole error log


Where am I supposed to delete those? And where do I get the files i need to paste? + how to get the error log? Sorry, all I can do is play games on the computer.

EDIT: Are you talking about the 1 plugin that needed to be replaced and 1 stream file that also needed to be changed?

the folder location and files are in the OP, please review it again

Hello, I've got a problem trying to watch streams on linux (ubuntu). I followed the instructions and when I type which player I want to watch nothing happens. Just output Playing jaedong23... but no player shows up. Help

Buggering hell.

Dropbox decided that "for your convenience[1] we are graciously allowing you not to use direct links to files any more", so you can no longer right click + save as when downloading the .py and .bat files in the tutorial.

[1] go fuck yourself

Does anyone know of a cloud storage alternative that still permits direct links to files like Dropbox used to?

In the meantime, here are pastebin links to the various files you need. Click on the download button on-site.

I'm using this to turn my TV into a non-stop BW broadcast channel which is my favorite thing ever, except I have to manually change streams when one ends. Is there any way to automate that? The ideal would be to play the current most viewed stream but if I could supply a list for it to try until it returns a live channel that would work well too.

Added Jaedong and Stork to the .bat files. OP updated accordingly. Let me know if you're having problems.

Hm? Wasn't JD and Stork supposed to work via VLC before? I never had problems with them :D

edit: Thanks a lot for your efforts! It is so easy to watch them ever since I've used VLC

I thought so too, but maybe they changed their Afreeca names? My .bat files didn't have either of them as entries, so I added them when I fixed the download links.

Glad you like the guide and got some use out of it. =)

Edit: Also added BackHo to the .bat files, forgot about him.

Getting this error, I've seen two other people in the thread say they had it and I didn't see a solution. I've followed OP twice

[image loading]

Used the livestreamer installer (twice) so that it creates the PATH or whatever was previously mentioned. And added the 4 lines to the end of the config, can't find it to screenshot

[image loading]

both of the PY files added and the respective PYC files deleted

[image loading]

any ideas? please help I hate afreeca so much

I don't know how you even did this, but your hls and afreecatv files should be named hls.py and afreecatv.py. Rename them and try again and get back to me if it still doesn't work.

cant "hide extensions for known file types" be causing the problem ?

Ugh, I forgot that was a thing. My brain said it was a binary on/off thing, but those files have notepad icons which means they're probably .py files with the extensions hidden.

Make sure they have the proper file extensions anyway. Apart from that I don't know. What OS are you using? Are you using the right afreeca.bat file for your system? Is VLC installed to the default directory or do you need to edit the .bat file? Etcetcetc.
