Tired of seeing this screen in gom?
[image loading]

I have no idea what they're trying to accomplish by showing us this screen, but I don't really like it. Therefore I decided to do some investigating. (pm me if you want the details of my investigation) I figured out how to get around the screen pretty easily, and decided to compile it into a tutorial.

Step-by-Step instructions for getting by the screen:
1. Go to this url (works in firefox): http://exp.gomtv.com/appChannelForm.html and click on the category you wish to watch. Knowing korean letters is a plus in this area, because you can quickly identify things such as "sin han" (on the left) "peurorikeu" (proleague) (on the right)
[image loading]

(after clicking on a category you should appear at a page whose url looks something like: http://live.gomtv.com/cgi-bin/live_sub_eleague.cgi )

2. Hover over the green button (live stream) or yellow button (replay) with the TV icon on it, and copy down the numbers at the bottom of the browser.
[image loading]


3.
***If it's a replay stream***
Feed the numbers into this url: http://ch.gomtv.com/exp/appDetail.html?intSID=[first number]&intSeq=[second number] , for example if the caption at the bottom of the page is javascript:playReplay(3019,91100); the url you would visit would be http://ch.gomtv.com/exp/appDetail.html?intSID=3019&intSeq=91100

[image loading]

On the next screen, hover over the green play button (pictured above) and record the numbers at the bottom of the screen once again, and feed them into this url: http://tv.gomtv.com/cgi-bin/channel_player.cgi?stype=[first number]&id=[second number] and copy this link , so if the bottom of the page says showAppMovie('3119','91100',some other number); your link would be http://tv.gomtv.com/cgi-bin/channel_player.cgi?stype=3119&id=91100

-Start gomplayer
Paste the copied link in internet explorer (this is important) and press enter, nothing will happen in internet explorer, but your gomplayer should start buffering.
{go to additional steps if you get an error}


***If it's a live stream***
-Start gomplayer
Feed the numbers into this url, and visit it in internet explorer (this is important)
http://tv.gomtv.com/cgi-bin/channel_player.cgi?stype=5&id=[first number]&liveplus=[second number] , so if the bottom of the page says javascript:showLive(2111,0); your link would be http://tv.gomtv.com/cgi-bin/channel_player.cgi?stype=5&id=2111&liveplus=0
if you typed in the url correctly, gom should start buffering, and play some ads, and then the stream.
{go to additional steps if you get an error}

Additional steps:

***If you get error 0x00071, and the ads have already played***
Error 71 is caused by server lag, which makes gom player think that you have a lousy connection and won't let you play the stream.
Press the left button on the error message, and then press the round play button at the bottom left of gomplayer, repeat until it plays.

***If you get error 0x00071, and the ads have not yet finished playing***
Revisit the url in step 3 in internet explorer to buffer gom again.

***If you get error 403***
Error 403 seems to happen at the end of a match (at least in live game streams). Try restarting gom player and visiting the same link for the stream in internet explorer.

The actual urls may change over time and vary based on show/type of show, etc, so if something doesn't work, look through the cgi file in step 2 and http://ch.gomtv.com/js/common.js (look for the functions that show up at the bottom of the screen when you hover over buttons) and figure it out from there.
All you need in life is a strong will to succeed and unrelenting determination. If you meet these prerequisites, you can become anything you want with absolutely no luck, fortune or natural ability.

I used a method of clicking the lower link on the you need gom tv crap, then pressing that arrow that closes the browser, then open it again. This resets it apparantly, then i hurry into the stream and close the browser part again so i dont get disconnected.

havnt used gom in a while tho so i dont know if it works now
hello there

How would you be able to watch the MSL, the very first link only shows ProLeague. Or can I just not see it?

I always get that screen and only speedy clicking over and over worked before haha.

Thanks for the guide, I'm sure all the people who want to watch live MSL will appreciate this.

I tried to watch MSL by this, and got as far as putting that url into IE, but then GOM gives me an error 403 (403 forbidden http error maybe?). I looked at the source of http://live.gomtv.com/cgi-bin/live_sub_msl.cgi and it seems like the link format is correct, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

hmm it should work, try http://tv.gomtv.com/cgi-bin/channel_player.cgi?stype=5&id=2080&liveplus=0 with internet explorer and gomplayer open

edit: oh 403 error seems to occur when a game ends or something on the stream, maybe you have to restart gom?

Had it again and figured it out; it seems to have something to do with security settings in IE. Adding *.gomtv.com to the trusted sites list fixed the error.

Nope I just read your guide right now for the first time, and even though we arrived at the same link, I figured it out independently by looking at the packets that gom was sending to the server to get the links. I also figured out a possible way to emulate gom and stream directly through vlc or somehting, but that would require decompiling a certain dll on gom's site and hosting it locally, with all the scripts and paths changed, and I just don't have the time to do that kind of hacking.
Anyway, nice to see that the guide works at least for some people.
