Just in case you hadn't noticed, livestreamer was forked: github
For 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.

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.

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!

Added Shine to the .bat file. I thought he was already in there, but it was Shinee.

Download:

Windows 64-bit: afreeca_x64.bat (right-click and save as)
Windows 32-bit: afreeca_x86.bat (right-click and save as)

Or from Pastebin:

Widnows 64-bit: afreeca_x64.bat (go to link and click the download button on Pastebin)
Widnows 86-bit: afreeca_x86.bat (go to link and click the download button on Pastebin)

The new site/link is so that it's easier to download the files (simply right-clicking and hitting "save as" is quicker than going to the Pastebin link, opening a new window, and pressing the "download" button). 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.

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.

Ah, I see. Thanks for answer!
What I don't really get, I'm on a 64bit machine but I have to use the .bat for 32bit. Why is that? I mean, I don't really care that much since it's working this way without any issues at all :D

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.
