Thank you so much! I had some errors at first with VLC not playing it, but I was happily scared when I heard the drums of the GSL! This method is far more preferable to any of the other ways. Once again, thanks!

For anyone who needs a quick guide here it is.

So first of all get firefox then click this link and install this addon http://www.lrtw.org/~eivind/fakegom/fakegom-0.1.3b.xpi . Once installed go to the addon options and click the 'Show Debug Messages' Option for it. Then go to gomtv.net and click your various stream. Then it should come up with a popup. Click 'Browse' and select VLC.exe. Then Click Ok And Enjoy!

You shouldn't need the 'Show Debug Messages' option with 0.1.3b. if you do, let me know.

For some reason I can't even click the SQ link. It's as if it's an image without a link location. When I hover over SQ LIVE it shows "javascript:live.play('SQTest');" and clicking on it doesn't do anything.

I'm in the latest firefox and latest xpi. thanks

I'm at work at the moment, so I might not be able to solve it today, unfortunately.

Can you go to the 'Tools/Addons' section of firefox, check the 'Show Debug Messages' box for fakegom, then navigate to the stream page, go to 'Tools/Error Messages', clear the messages, click the link, and PM me what messages show up there, please?

Also, what's your operating system, and what version of firefox. 'Latest firefox' is ambiguous. Do you mean the latest firefox release or the latest beta firefox?

So this may not be to do with your addon but when I load it in vlc now I get:

'Your input can't be opened
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://38.108.112.118:8902/view.cgi?hid=1&cid=20806&nid=902&uno=11692600&uip=90.208.39.51&title=&key=6d10eeb41828d63539515312c204f8c6'. Check the log for details.'

regardless of what which stream I click on. Is this something I can fix?

Unfortunately, I'm at work all this week, and the only chance I'll have to investigate this is during the finals (probably at silly o'clock on the morning, my time) on Saturday, so I can't give any assurances of if/when this can be fixed.

As I've read on the gom forums, they blocked the user-agents.
I will reverse engineer the User-Agent from gom player tomorrow. Fortunately vlc provides a custom useragent with ( --http-user-agent ).
As soon as gom is live again I will provide some more information

edit://
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=197195

use vlc with: --http-user-agent KPeerClient

How about combining this with the beta gomplayer for Mac??
I refer to this one:

While we wait for Aimhere to update it here's a quick fix for now:

I have succeeded in getting it to work.

Instead of directly clicking open with VLC or your player you click open with firefox. It should then open up a download link where you click save link. Then go to your download location, it should have a view.cgi file and a view.cgi.part. Open view.cgi.part with vlc/your player and your golden.

The trouble with fixing this is that the problem is outwith the scope of my plugin, since it's a problem between GOM and vlc, and not something a firefox plugin can easily fix.
If you want to automate the process you describe above and make my plugin work similar to how it worked before, you could make a small shellscript program to download and play the stream using a similar method to what you suggest. I've put a sample one below.

I nicked the command lines here from gomstreamer (thanks, gomstreamer guy!). If you're on a mac, commenting out the 'wget' line and uncommenting the 'curl' line with '#' might work, but I've not tested it, since I don't have a mac to test it with. Put this somewhere where you can find it (I call it ~/bin/gomplay), chmod it so that it's executable ('chmod ugo+x gomplay'), and then point my plugin at this, instead of vlc. This should work for the free stream, I don't know about the paid-for stream (I've stopped buying season tickets now, since I'm not going to pay to be discriminated against).

+ Show Spoiler +


!/bin/bash

#Command lines pilfered from gomstreamer

#This is my vlc command.
wget -U KPeerClient --tries 1 "$1" -q -O - | vlc - --file-caching 30000 vlc://quit 

#This is my guess as to a mac command
#curl -A KPeerClient  "$1" -o - | /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --file-caching 30000 vlc://quit

What just worked for me:
Windows 64, firefox 3.6, VLC 1.1.somewhat

Change FF useragent with
about:config
new > string "general.useragent.override"
string value must be: KPeerClient
gomtv.net, login, get HQ/SQ/freestream link with the method of your choice (addons, greasemonkey scripts, sourcecode)
open that link in firefox, and the save file dialog should be popping up, save that file (view.cgi)
open view.cgi.part (in the same folder where you saved the view.cgi) in VLC and it SHOULD work

EDIT:

DON'T, i repeat, DON'T forget to change the useragent afterwards, some website (facebook for example) will redirect you based on your useragent and you might see some funny sites and not the ones you are used to

If anyone wants me to make a Automator script for a mac let me know, because I do enjoy scripting with Automator.

You dont really need to use the user agent, as I said before, just run the FakeGom but instead of clicking on your player just click open with firefox then save the view.cgi and it should start downloading. Note that the download wont stop because its streaming. After that just run your player and open up view.cgi.part, make sure that you dont close your browser as this will stop the download.

Just an update, If you still want to use VLC there is a way.

You do the same thing with fakegom, but instead of downloading the file, you get the url. Then use terminal and if you have wget then here is the command.

wget -O "your file name here" -K kPeerClient "fake gom url here"

and then open the file with vlc.

if you dont have wget on a mac you can use macport to install wget.

In case you didn't see the other thread which has a different solution (a bash script starting the stream in VLC) go to

Thanks to this user:

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.
