Overnight my Afreeca streams (hls at least) started to work again with livestreamer. Didn't mess with the files.

Have been encountering this issue myself with Livestreamer/Streamlink the past two days, but it looks like @trocknet at Github revised the afreeca.py code a bit yesterday and most BJs work now. Hopefully someone will come up with a more comprehensive fix, but a few HLS streams don't work consistently for me, like Flash.

The updated afreeca.py code can be found here, or as a file here

Pretty odd. Maybe just an Afreeca server/DNS issue.

Before I used the new afreeca.py plugin, none of the BJs were working from me. Now, only about 10% of streamers don't work for me. Fortunately, both EffOrt and Soulkey are fine for me

They started streaming HD and that might be the problem.

Our man @trocknet at Git updated the afreeca.py plugin and all seems to be well now, for all the streams I've tested.

Can find it here, or download here

It's for Streamlink, not Livestreamer. The Livestreamer plugins are unlikely to ever be fixed since support for it has ended.

I'm currently updating the guide to use Streamlink instead of Livestreamer. It's an easier install, which is a positive.

What are the things you are fixing? They can be applied to livestreamer for the most part..

These API change fixes have been pretty straight forward in the past.

Probably, but we would have to do it going forward. If Streamlink remains updated (especially with the nightly build) we won't need to provide manual downloads to three different files plus editing the config.

Streamlink also allows for better quality options, so I'm updating the .bat file right now. Will update the guide some time tonight. If things go poorly we can go back to Livestreamer.

I updated the guide in the OP. Need people to test the new setup for me, and give feedback on the .bat file I've created.

If you don't want to re-read the OP, here's a basic rundown:

      1) Download and install Streamlink (link is to the nightly build)
      2) Download afreeca.py (right-click and save link as)
      3) Replace afreeca.py file in Streamlink folder with the one you downloaded - folder is usually:
            C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamlink\pkgs\streamlink\plugins
      4) Download afreeca_x64.bat or afreeca_x86.bat (right-click and save link as)

Run afreeca_x64.bat. You should be presented with options for CDN servers and stream quality. Try them out and make sure they work, and let me know if there are any problems. .bat file is in beta until I'm sure there are no bugs left.

The new .bat file uses color codes to make things more readable. If the text looks messed up for you, let me know. I would have to create an optional color-less .bat file.

Cheers!

Server/stream setting should be modified so it only allows you available options ^^

You didn't copy-and-replace Streamlink's afreeca.py with the one I linked to, did you? Those quality options (live_hls, live) are wrong. aws_hd is part of the updated file that @trocknet created and prech uploaded.

Oops, my bad. Chrome failed to replace the file due to insufficient privileges, so I had to do it manually. It works now, thanks!

If letian keeps updating his fork for Linux it'll work for a while longer. I don't know what his plans are though.

Good! Glad it's working. Report any issues with the .bat file. =)

Edit: And I added your problem to the Troubleshooting/FAQ. Thanks for testing and breaking stuff for me!

I updated the .bat file again, and the updated files have been added to the OP. This time I added some 15+ player streams from https://bwstreams.appspot.com/ including Really, SkyHigh, Noble, 910, Spire, and Hint.

I also added known aliases to existing entries, i.e. Eyewater/Shuttle, Rock/TheRock/Nal_Rock, Rain/Sun/By.Rain/By.Sun, Piano/Organ, etc.
