I'm a mac user, so the only way I've been able to watch the GSL live is through VLC. I've been doing so for several months now with no problem, but suddenly (starting last night) it doesn't work anymore. I'm still able to acquire the stream link, but VLC is unable to open it. I really hope they didn't fix the loophole. Can any other mac/VLC users confirm that it's not working anymore?

No .

I have to say, though, this is the lowest thing Gretech has done to date. They know damn well that the stream doesn't require Gom player, but they won't allow us to use any other program, and they won't develop a mac client (or they're taking their sweet ass time). So I, as a paying customer, am now only getting half the product for my money, because I use a mac.

Worked for me too after two tries after not having any success with VLC the usual way.

If you use this method, please make sure your GOMtv e-mail/password combo isn't something you use anywhere else, because your password will be sent in plaintext over the air.

After reading another thread, I found a better solution. It's actually weird that it works. You have to paste the stream link in google chrome (supposedly it only works with chrome), and it downloads it continuously to a file on your computer. Then you open that file in VLC and voila, it works.

Not working for me

What do you mean by "after x tries"? do you just mean trying multiple times to open the network in the VLC player? I still haven't had any success after at least 10 tries

Same here, at least 20 tries in a row, and no success.

The problem is most of us are mac users, and there is no Gom player for mac. That's why we're using VLC to begin with.

Ok, to sum up my personal findings, I wasn't able to get the permanent link thing working, no matter how many times I tried.

However, I was able to paste the stream link into the Firefox address bar, and it started continuously downloading the stream into several files: a small file (probably meta-data) called "view.cgi", and another file (sort of a hard-drive buffer) called "view.cgi.part". I then went into VLC and clicked File -> Open File, and opened "view.cgi.part".

So anyone reading this later on should now have several new methods to attempt to replace the old one.

Great Success.
