***UPDATED FOR BROADCASTING, LOOK AT THE BOTTOM***
Although getting an account on OGN or MBC seems to be difficult and expensive, there is another option if you want to watch StarCraft on your computer, live and when it happens.
The program is called Afreeca, and it is the spawn of PDBox (which was the beta). This is a guide on how to create an account, and then use and install the program. The work was done by EtErNaLAeOn for the first part, and IntoTheWow for the second part.
The Ultimate Afreeca Guide.
How to make an Account
Go to: http://www.pdbox.co.kr/afreeca
How to install the player and get games:
First go to this site: http://afreeca.pdbox.co.kr/ be sure you are browsing this site with Internet Explorer or otherwise some of the steps wont work.
You will see a login card in the top left corner, fill it in with the following information (or the account that you created above).
Username: noLexX
Password: 1234
Then click on the lock as shown in the picture.
After logging in, the page should refresh showing a different card now. Something like this:
Be sure the dropmenu is showing what the picture is and now click on the blue ball once. An activeX screen should pop in the top of your internet explorer. Allow the Afreeca player to be installed. Page should refresh itself while doing this (IE could get stuck a litte, just let it load).
After the page refreshed click on the blue ball once again. A window should prompt asking to install Afreeca on your PC.
Click on the [Agree] box, and then on the [Next] box. Program should install itself and create an icon in your desktop.
Now all we have to do is search for a channel straeming starcraft
The program itself looks something like this:
Click on the button with the red box. It should load a channel list. Now we have to find a channel there with a starcraft related picture or name. (note: the button on the right to the one i boxed works as a refresh button from what i know).
There i click on a channel to join it. Theres a list on the right with the people in the channel, under it theres a shoutbox. On the left, the channel should load, theres a "add to favorites button", a stop, muta and volume buttons.
Go watch some Starcraft 
If you use firefox, you can get a plugin
here.
To Broadcast
Ok, the following picture will explain how to make your own broadcasts with Afreeca player, the new Wplayer.
First, you have to log in at http://afreeca.pdbox.co.kr/
The Blue button will allow you to watch broadcasts, but we don't need it.
the GREEN BUTTON will allow you make your very own broadcasts. Once you press the green button, you will see the following screen:
The above pic is pretty self explanatory.
Add all the information in the middle window,
The squarie button on the bottom left hand side is the button that will start the broadcast.
Then, you will get the following screen:
The new window is the little camera that will broadcast everything in it. To expand the window, press the double sided arrow.
To actually start the capture, you must press the LITTLE RED DOT on the top left hand side of that new window.
Ok, I think that's it; let me know if there's something wrong/anything to add..
If you have any problems or questions, post them here or PM the two authors. Thanks guys.

ogn and mbc seems to be premium
but do you mean we can be access to progaming live free by this?
|
Osaka27152 Posts
Yes. Follow these steps and you can see it for free. It isnt guaranteed, but it is the best free option around.
Often, the streams on this service are ahead of my official OGN account.

Afreeca Guide powered by Team noLexX and IntoTheWoW!
checkout Team noLexX @ europe! (op nLx.)
To #1: You dont understand what Afreeca is.
You can basically stream everything whats on your screen.So OGN and MBC is no problem,it can be streamed as an image of the Internet Stream or as real TV-Broadcast. (If the caster has a TV-Card)
|
How do u know when they are sending MBC or OGN matches?  )
|
So xhundred people will watch this stream every friday? lol
|
OSL is twice a week now , lol
|
On the left, the channel should load, theres a "add to favorites button", a stop, muta and volume buttons.
|
SP)diQ do u know wich days and time OSL is ? )
|
omg...
that's great...
many thx to those who steam it...

I guess they are shoutcasted mostly on weekends but sometimes people just stream old vods, or recent vods from leagues and stuff~

Sometimes streaming quality depends on the caster.
Some casters can hold up to 200 people with no problems of loading.
Other caser can only hold 20 or so, and with loading problems.
Depends on your and their connection.
|
Whenever the "activeX" window appears internet explore (all windows) stop responding. Could anyone tell me what is happening?
|
If this truly is live, couldn't this lead to people cheating on liquidbet? i.e. waiting mid-game when a player has a significant advantage and then voting?

IT freezed for me like for 30 seconds, i leave and try not to finish task. It reacts after that time and ask you to install (while stuck i guess its downloading the program).
|
real coool, now long until this is so clogged with us that it doesn't work is the question.
|
I officially love EtErNaLAeOn and IntoTheWow now. Makes 4 people in my personal olymp now together with Manifesto and Rekrul.

256k is way too low.You can only join channels who stream with 200kb/s then.Most channels are about 400-600 kb/s.

Is there a way for us to play afreeca on our computer? Like people join our channels and see what we do? Or is that reserved to koreans?

I had wplayer but there is no live BW from Korea ...
only old highlight dvds and people who plays at bnet that sucks
|
DAMN! Hey, I log in to the page. Next step is to press the blue button to get the install. Thing is: no buttons appear! Just a list of items with a red '0' on their right!
|
@HanN00b: That PD league is cool and some players are really good. Some are incredibly noob. Wait for wednesday if they pub the new games man.
Also they air a lot of movies there. The new way of piracy lol - streaming them live. I can't wait for the first guy sitting with a notebook and webcam broadcasting a premiere live over the internet lol. Or other stuff like a live shoutcast from a concert. Awesome stuff is possible with that shit...
|
i hear only sound.The screen is whole black.Any ideas ?
|
Nice, now we can broadcast every tournament, SO GOSU, thx friends >
|
i just find out that few of channels are working.But majority is fucked up, plz help i have no idea how to defeat this problem ;/

HanNoob now you are 100% wrong on two websites. Yes, you can watch live BW. People who watch tv through their computers can show live TV through this program.
|
Yeah good guide for broadcast!I will broadcast myself soon stay tuned! xDDD~
|
i cant install it cuz nothing is dling ~~
|
can someone explain me why we need to register? We can watch that TV without this shitty work, just dowload player and login nolexx,1234.Am I right ? I guess couse i just did it.
|
For some reason there are no channels for me to enter... When there I get a little Error pop-up thing. Can anyone explain?
|
Manifesto7 i cannot imagine that someone who pays for expensive korean tv will share it.Now I see only old vod and ppl on bttlenet.

wait, it takes time somtimes for installer to pop up (be sure you are on IE)
|
I downloaded the program, and then when I opened it and clicked that tab that you checked, I still didn't get any channels.
|
Hmm.. I can watch videos on NoLexX name, but I can't on mine.. thats kinda odd :[
|
I'm watching Saw 2... awesome haha
|
I tried it agian and I got some channels, but I noticed that if I click the second tab, all my channels disapear and I have to close the program and open it again, did you say that is that tab was the refresh tab?
|
Don't press that tab, it's useless. The guide creater made a mistake. The second tab is a "favourite" tab

When i try to watch on my account it just freezes.. when i goto watch on NoLexX account it works NP.. any solutions to this problem?
|
all i see right now are 3 channels, ones playing dbz, and the 2 other are playing weird programs. ;x so 2 questions. Is the ymbc one the sc channel? and if so when is it broadcasting
|
Every time I click on a channel to join then click on the Red TV box it just refreshes that fucking page over and over again
|
why is there only sound and not video?
|
I cant watch stream because i always get this:
|
just click on the picture that you wanna watch if after that you get that screen again, try restarting afreeca
|
i met some guys who were chatting in english at SC channels in Afreeca
and some people don't appreciate it. you can even get kicked out...
so i'd say look out a bit.....not that it's fair...but it's also unfair if you get kicked out for a reason that is unknown to you (since you probably don't speak korean ^^)
|
i found a better way to watch korean tv. well at least mbc.
http://mediahopper.com/portal.htm
select South Korea on the left column and there should be the mbc channel. very simple and easy. dont know if they show osl there tho =(.
i wanted to make a topic about this, but i am on trial acct so i can't. Someone should tho.
|
um, i can't join abroad anymore, it gives me some korean text box and takes me back to the original join page.
and yes i'm using IE and i can log on with the nolexx account :/
are they not accepting anymore foreigner accounts or what?
|
|
|
same me t.t what now, i wanna afreeca :D!!
|
|
|
did any1 ever really watch a LIVE STARLEAGUE MATCH, EVER?
coz all i can find is old vods being broadcasted, and im pretty sure my timing'ss right...
|
oh, sry, i just watched oov vs chojja. My timing was wrong after all, I missed by 1 hour in converting time zone.
|
is there no work around, like with an IP spoof or something?
or can some bored Korean make like 100 accounts....
no? ....petty!
|
i've got 2mbps dsl inet and it lags as hell =\ wtf? maybe it's because i use nolexx's acc?
|

SORRY TO BUMP THIS
Since gomtv and yauyan both suck now adays and sc2.org went dead for w/e reason can we still use afreeca?

Afreeca is pay-only outside Korea, I think.
|
