I watch the SQ stream and when I open GOM I get:
"
Cannot play this media file. Error code:0x00000051

-Confirm location path of the media file.
-This media file is possible to be not supportable or to be damaged.
-Confirm that appropriate codec is installed to play this media file.

OK

Just reinstalled latest version and downloaded the streamer thing...

Wait wtf it works now, anyway I still think if anyone knows of a proper fix they should say it as it may happen again and others may still be having a problem.

Their website clearly states that because this is a test stream there could be issues. Therefore I feel like threads like these are unnecessary. On top of that you're always better off using their forums for problems like this, after all it is their software.

My personal advice: Keep trying, I had the same problem. It will work after a number of tries.
this game is a fucking jokie

Keep trying. It's called a test stream for a reason. Not everything is gonna work flawlessly during test runs.

I personally think the test stream sucks as much as it did before though, and even when you do connect it has serious connectivity issues. Before, as long as you got on during the first wave, your stream would be fine albeit the terrible quality.

But hey, it's why they're testing it. Some people say it's pretty good, but I'm not convinced yet myself.
God Bless

Worked for me only after I updated GOM player to the latest version. Press F1 and make sure it's up to date.

If you are getting that error, download the latest version of GomPlayer (don't hit the update button, download a fresh copy).

After that, when you hit the stream button, it should ask you install Gom Streamer. It will then download the Gom Streamer. If you are like me though, it will throw you another error ><.

Maybe you could try using the Korean Gom Player:

It's working fine for me on both SQ and HQ.

Pretty sure other streams use Octoshape as well so at least you'll be ready for that.

I believe the "Cannot view live" error is caused by internet explorer. This is when you hit the button to view the stream right?

On day 1 (not sure if it changed now) there was any easy fix. Apparently the gom player looks for a cookie from IE (internet explorer) whether you are logged in. So you need to log in with the IE before starting the stream. You can still start the stream from any other browser in case you get the "no live" error in IE, just log in with IE as well.

Uninstall, download from the website, http://www.gomtv.net/sc2_teaminvi.php, install, enjoy

Fixed here...

It worked perfectly...
I had the latest version (acording to F1) but after pressing play for 20 minutes I decided that something is wrong with the client i had installed from season 1.
In the beginning there was nothing... and then exploded
