EPTFor Ubuntu users, there's a PPA on www.webupd8.org
At least for watching a single stream of which you know the URL it worked out of the box for me. Haven't tried any of your fancy searching/selecting on top of that.

Haven't tried any of your fancy searching/selecting on top of that. But you need to know the url of the player you want to watch and also you need to know if this guy is online so this is already worse than other ppl (including me) suggested using. Besides, I even provided a fixed livestreamer fork for afreeca and a bash script which allows to view currently online streams and pick the player to watch. So, all you need to do is run afreeca.sh, type "!online" and choose any online player. | ||

Rename them and try again and get back to me if it still doesn't work. yeah I tried to edit the afreecatv.py file which was suggested earlier in the thread, so I had the file open with notepad and thats why the icon changed and the extension was hidden I changed the names to include the extension and that didn't do anything. but I restarted my computer and it actually worked lmao so I've got it running now! thanks for the guide! | ||

Do we have to update that (new?) file manually? Sorry, I'm an absolut computer noob | ||

The reason I update the .bat file some times is because I add more streamers to it. For instance, if you don't update the .bat file with the latest version, you won't be able to watch Shine (the Zerg player), because the .bat file doesn't know his stream ID. That's all I added to the file. | ||

You can alternatively still use the Pastebin links if you want, since the files are there as well. They're the same file, just from a different host.

I mean, I don't really care that much since it's working this way without any issues at all :D | ||

I mean, I don't really care that much since it's working this way without any issues at all :D The only difference between the .bat files is that they look for the default installation location for VLC Media Player. You probably just have the 32-bit version of VLC installed, so the 32-bit file is the one that loads it properly. =) | ||

So, all you need to do is run afreeca.sh, type "!online" and choose any online player. Well, looking at your bash script I could probably get the best of both worlds by just replacing your call to livestreamer with one to streamlink. Or maybe it'll break, who knows... :D I use this stuff for more than afreeca, so having one that works for all the streams I want to watch helps. | ||

Is the VLC better or worse for you? Your wording is ambiguous. | ||

On the other hand, I am using a small java app that I did for my personal use in order to launch the streams without having to type the Streamlink/Livestreamer commands manually. Just in case anyone is interested in trying it, I will share the link below. Just note that I made it for my personal use and it has not really been tested on different environments, only on my Windows machine. It loads the streams from http://bwstreams.appspot.com/ by default when you refresh the list, but you can add any stream you want (using the stream ID) by editing the configuration (Edit -> Afreeca Streams). It works for Twitch and Youtube as well (Youtube IDs are channel IDs). In order to use it, you only need to have either Livestreamer or Streamlink (I'd use Streamlink as Livestreamer development was abandoned) and the VLC media player installed. If you don't install them to the default folders you need the specify the paths on Edit -> Configuration. You can download it from the below link: Stream Player This is how it looks: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Qg5Wn4o.png) | ||
