think so, does not work for me either starting today.

pretty frustrating.

i guess we should send a note to apple, so that they can talk to Intel, so that they can help the gomtv people take their head out of a dark place.

This has nothing to do with "pirates", and everything to do with them wanting to force people to install their media player(because even windows users like me would rather watch the stream in their media player of choice).

This is so frustrating. Gom has made it impossible for Mac users to watch the stream.

I would even take an Octoshape stream if it streamed the GSL Finals. You know it's bad when I'm begging for an Octoshape stream. I HATE OCTOSHAPE!!! Ugh!

I never thought I would see the day, but it seems that GOM has been able to bring the hammer down on the whole internet. How is SC2 and esports ever supposed to grow if we have companies like GOM who would prefer to stifle viewership instead of promote it? What saddens me the most is that the game is in such a fledgling state -- it is constantly changing. If things don't change, all of us who are on the outside (and it's not just Mac users) are going to miss the growth of the sc2 seed into a sapling. I feel like I've been thrown in prison and don't get to see my kid grow up (that might be a bit melodramatic).
Thanks for the break :D

A response from GOMtv.net support
-----------------------------------------------------
Dear User:

GOM Player for MAC OS is in its beta testing stage for streaming stability issues.
The player will be available soon.

Thank you for your understanding.
GOMtv.net

For a quicker assistance please post your questions on our support forum

PLEASE add Mac support.
We Mac users have been able to watch the live games up until recently with VLC player:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=154485&currentpage=5
but recently that has stopped working.

Either make it work again or allow us Mac users to have a native version of the GOMTV player.
I have paid before for seasons and I will pay again but you need to make a Mac version as there are a lot of Mac StarCraft players out there...

Well, thank god. Promising at least..

Thanks to those that have made it possible at all for us to watch on OSX so far- hopefully the mac client will be out before the next season.

HA!
Tastosis told everyone that the Mac player was out. Then GOMtv issued this statement:
http://www.gomtv.net/2011championship/news/63959
"Dear GOMTV.net users:

There was a slight error during our live broadcast.
GOM Player for MAC OS is not yet available.

We are currently preparing for the launch of GOM Player for MAC and the player will be available soon for MAC users.
Thank you for your understanding.

Well, I felt guilty, so I fixed the script, see

https://github.com/mbr/gomcmd

for details.

It seems I can't edit the original post anymore, what's up with that?

Sorry about the bump, but if anyone's still having problems watching GSL in linux, I found this script works perfectly (uses vlc, handles all the mucky config).

Oh, if you have a problem launching it you may have to change the path in the play.sh script to an absolute rather than relative one. Other than that it worked out of the box.
