I don't know if this is the correct forum section to post in, but I'm having trouble playing afreeca streams - there's no video, just utter blackness. Audio is fine as far as I can determine. I tried changing player (flash does not work and the explanation I get is in Korean, so I stuck to HTML5), resetting browsers and the computer... and that's pretty much it.

I doubt it is a mass phenomenon, since it would provoke posts much earlier than mine, so I'll just ask for help. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I have the same problem, cant see anything (can hear the audio fine). I tried watching the stream on the afreeca website directly with the same result.

Edit: Oh, changing to flash player worked for me as well ty!

Flash does not play at all for me. Maybe just needs an update, IDK, it's all in Korean. A bit later I'll try updating Flash blindly and give afreeca another go.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

Dunno but there's a way to watch the streams in a media player like VLC. You can search for the tl.net thread, or simply download streamlink from github: https://streamlink.github.io/
and open the afreeca url by making a shortcut for streamlink.exe and adding, for example 'http://play.afreecatv.com/jk890202 best' to its "target" properties.

There should be a gear on the bottom right where you can change the player type.

I've had the same problem with some youtube videos. When I turned off hardware acceleration in chrome advanced settings, it worked. I'm not sure if it's related.

Same problem here.Vods are fine but live streams just black screen.
IE works fine , probably becouse it still uses flash player.

The black screen for the HTML5 player seems to be caused from AdBlock. We are aware of it and working on it.

Yeah same, "works" with Flash but its choppy. I watch it on VLC now (there's a thread on how to make it work on TL, I recommend that method.)
