Hi
In order to more easily watch the GSL, I've written for myself a Firefox addon that allows me to just click on the 'SQ Live' (or 'HQ Live') link on the gomtv.net site, and then tries to play the appropriate URL in whatever app I choose (such as VLC), once I've told it which app, using the browser application helper.
Judging by the forums here, I think it might be useful to some other people out there, so I uploaded it to some grotty filesharing site here so that others might be able to download it. (If there's a better place where I can upload this, let me know).
Be warned, that so far it's been tested on a total of three computers so far, so it might very well not work for you. If you're running this, you're a tester!
Reasons why this might be good for you
* It's a lot more convenient than having to scrape through the html to dig up two URLs and manually feeding one of those into vlc, as is the most common method
* It shouldn't have to change so much. The methods for html-scraping the URLs has to change with every single website redesign or GSL season. If I get this addon written properly, they have to rejigger GOMplayer to make this fail.
* The files are nice, friendly text-only, readable javascript
Reasons why this might suck for you
* You're not using a version of firefox that it runs on (it ought to work with 3.5 and 3.6 at least)
* I've barely written a line of javascript before now. There could be bugs and/or security holes in there
* You don't trust me, because you're wise. I'm a random stranger on the internet offering free software to plug into your browser, after all.
* The browser app helper instance I send it to seems to be slightly less useful than the ones I see other links use.
To use this, download the .xpi file above, and open the file up with Firefox, and install it. Then go to the gom site, click on the link you want to view, and a window should pop up asking which app to use. Navigate to vlc (/usr/bin/vlc, perhaps) or your app of choice, and it should fire up that app and attempt to play the link. If you're a scaredy cat, .xpi files are just pkzip '.zip' files, and the files in there are all human-readable, so you can check out that I'm not trojanning your computer with malware.
If you find this works/doesn't work/sucks/made your life complete, then feel free to say so - operating system and firefox version would be helpful when working out what's gone wrong, if anything.
Cheers
EDIT:
Latest version is 0.1.5 - no actual code changes, just updated version strings so it will at least attempt to install on firefox 7 and below.
TheBB has very kindly offered to host the file at his website at http://www.lrtw.org/~eivind/fakegom/
I've also put the latest version up at http://www.mediafire.com/?bb9d7k4zsyb4b9m (in case TheBB doesn't get it up in time, which is unlikely - he's very prompt!)

downloaded and installed firefox just for this and it works very well so far!
thank youuuu
|
Working flawlessly. This is what i was looking for for a long time.
Thanks!
|
Thanks for releasing this for the community! I tried it with firefox 3.6 and it worked flawlessly!
My personal browser of choice is chrome and it'd be great if you'd be able to throw something together for that!
|
thank you will try tomorrow.
|
Unassigned file limit of 10 downloads reached.
If you send it to me I can host it. PM for e-mail...
|
AHHHHHH I wanted to try this, as the solutions for last season no longer work for me. If you could upload to megaupload.com or sharebee.com plz plz. Or if someone has a workaround that is working for season4/sponsorship league.

Could you please tell me what sort of error? From firefox or vlc? Which versions of FF/OS? I need to know this stuff in order to fix it if/when it breaks!
|
Works perfectly. It just adds the link to the playlist but does not autoplay, so you have to click the link in the playlist in VLC. No biggie and it works flawless.
|
Fantastic! Works perfect for me, too. Thank you for your work!
|
Thank you a bunch! The gomplayer is the only software so far that's been slow on my new computer. You plugin works seamlessly!

Didn't work for me unfortunately, I get the same pop-up error that I got before installing the add-on -
'Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (gomcmd) isn't associated with any program.'
Got this using Firefox 3.6.13, OSX vers 10.6.5.

Odd. Is it installed properly? It should appear in the tools/addons/extensions list. Also did you remember to restart firefox afterwards?
|
It appears to be, it shows up in my addons menu. I did restart firefox, just tried uninstalling / reinstalling. I'll do so again and post results in a sec
|
EzCheeze,
If you still can't make it go, could you fire up the Javascript Error Console (Tools/Error Console) and PM me a paste of the messages relating to FakeGOM.js or similar (when you first fire up Firefox). Also try navigating to the GOM Live page, clear the console, click the 'gomcmd:' link, then paste any Javascript messages that pop up then too.
Thanks.

Having the same issue on FF 3.6.12, I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling and have restarted FF several times.

Okay, this might fix Juzley's problem (I don't have it on my version) so I'd be grateful if someone with the problem could try it out and tell me:

:D you are a true hero.
Watching GSL on my mac right now.
|
Using this right now, for todays GSL matches on my ubuntu laptop and it's working flawlessly. Thank you for taking the time and coding this.
|
Awesome.
You should allow 4.0 beta though.
And, any chance of a Safari 5 extension? For us that prefer Safari
|
@Matkap, I'm not sure this is a fault with the plugin. I could be wrong, and I'll have to look into it, but it does look as though it's extracting a correct, well-formed stream URL and passing it on to VLC, and then VLC is having troubles trying to make the stream go.
@superjoppe, I don't have a Mac, so Safari is unlikely. I'll have a look sometime at making this thing work on the 4.0 beta (I've had one person tell me it doesn't work right now even if you set the version information to allow it).

Heh, I don't run Windows either. (Even Starcraft 2 runs in Linux these days)

just download and use firefox for that. no need to install even.. just save the .dmg somewhere, thats how i am doing it. usually using safari too

Worked great on Win7 and Ubuntu 10.04. Thx alot!

Hmmm, can you go to Tools/Media information and PM me the link in the 'Location' field, (which should be the URL that vlc is trying to run).

What are the symptoms? Does it let you pick an app to run with the URL? If not, open the Error console, navigate to the GOM site, clear the error console, click the stream link and PM me with any relevant-looking messages that appear.

Nothing shows up in the error console. What happens is this: Originally i got the option to choose an app so i choose VLC and selected always use this option. VLC now opens but nothing happens beyond that, no url is loaded. On my ubuntu installation everything works as it should.

Sigh. Sounds like the problem Holynorth was having, and with some further investigation that seemed to me that the problem was between either firefox and vlc, or between vlc and the stream itself.
As a double check, and if you feel up to it, you could try creating a text file with '#!/bin/bash' on the first line, and 'echo $@ > bar.txt' on the second (without quotes of course) and call it something like 'foo.sh'. Then 'chmod ugo+x foo.sh', so that it's executable and then run my plugin, trying to open the stream with your newly created 'foo.sh'. Then PM me the contents of 'bar.txt'. I've never used OSX in my life so I can't guarantee that what I've just said will work, but if it does, it ought to give me some more information to go on.
|
Can't test it now since the stream has been closed, i'll try to do it one of these days. I have my master thesis exam tomorrow so it won't be before friday i think :-)
|
Works great with portable firefox, thanks!
|
Did something happen? The HQ and SQ streams do not work, but SQ Test does.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://38.108.112.110:8900/view.cgi?hid=1&cid=20119&nid=900&uno=2770500&uip=80.242.201.7&title=&key=0f16972d86b1bada7673eb8535cee5ad'. Check the log for details.
|
TheBB, I think that's a fault at the GOMtv end (maybe overloaded servers or something).
I had that exact same problem a few days back, panicked a little, and when I looked at the support forums, there were Windows GOMplayer users with the same issue. The URL in the vlc error message does appear to be a well-formed GOMplayer stream URL.
|
Okay, thanks.
|
Works for me, thank you very much. Time to enjoy the company of Artosis and Tasteless 8)
|
Works perfectly for me on: OS X 10.6.5, FF 3.6.10
Thanks a lot, definitely saves the pain of looking for restreams!

This is a really awesome add on! I've been looking for a way to watch GSL on OSX forever! I've only watched restreams before, so would this work with VODs if I were to buy a premium ticket?

Weird. Could you also attempt to use the version here, then just before you click the GOM link, go to Tools/Error Console, clear that console, click the link, and PM me the three console messages you get with 'fakegom' in the title. Also tell me what firefox version and OS you're using.

It might be that the GOM site is overloaded or otherwise broken, or it might be that they've changed the format of the URL they're feeding to GOMplayer. The latter is my problem, the former is outwith my control.
If you use the 0.1.3 version (now with added firefox 4.0 support!) that I've just uploaded to sharebee, you could go to Tools/Addons, go to the FakeGOM preferences screen and click 'Show debug messages' to get added debug spam in the console (Tools/Error Console). Then if you navigate to the GOM site and click on the link that's causing the problem messages prepended with 'fakegom' will show up in that console.PM me those messages and I'll be able to take a better look at this and see what the problem is.

bumping for awesome. hopefully someone struggling to watch sees this!

It doesn't seem to work here :
Windows Seven x64
Firefox 3.6.13
I installed the plugin, but I never get a popup when I click on the SQ / HQ link on their website.
Am I alone with this problem, or am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks by advance.

Good question. There hasn't been a live GOMTV.net stream since the 10th of February, and your post is dated 13th, so the first question is when did you try to use the plugin? It ought to be when GOMTV is streaming and the links on the website ought to be bright orange, not the grey boxes that they show when the stream is off. If not, try again when there's a broadcast (the next one ought to be the 21st or 22nd of February.) and you get the orange links.
If it's still not working then (or you've chanced upon a completely different GOMplayer stream I can test my plugin against that IS streaming, like the GOMTV.com stream that Koreans pay for), try the instructions I give about three posts up to get detailed information from the Error Console and PM me with what gets spammed there.
|
I get the same behaviour.

Sigh. If Gecko is going to spit out exceptions, I wish it'd use messages that are less opaque than "NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED". The exception appears to be in the bit that checks before spitting out an error message so I commented it out.
Try the modded version at http://sharebee.com/0027487c and tell me if it works.
Cheers.
|
Works perfect here (just had to check the show debug messages for the pop-up to show up).
Thanks a lot for this, now I can actually watch gsl on OSX without all the usual hassle.
|
I confirm modded version fixes NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED problem (and I wholeheartedly agree it would be hard to come up with more bogus error message ). Thank you very much!
|
I'll try tomorrow.

As odd as it seems, it didn't work at first (nothing happened when I clicked the link), I had to go to the add-on's "options" and enable debug messages. It could have bee some strange fluke, though.
I used to be able to find the link, but it seems like they changed the way the URLs are shown now or something? I couldn't find the URL of the stream.

I think there's some sort of weird problem with my debug messages. I don't know what it is yet, though, so I'll having to look into it.
As for changing the way URLs are shown now, it changed ever season for the first four seasons or so. Rather than have to faff about getting the URL each time, I wrote the plugin precisely in order to stop having to faff about relearning how to scrape each month's iteration of the website. If you need the stream URL, you can get it from the 'Error Console' from the Tools Menu, immediately after you click the links, if debug messages are on.

Wow man thanks! This is awesome, works well with 3.6.
|

Works great! Thanks so much!!

YOU DESERVE A NOBEL PRIZE FOR THIS!!! I was getting the 00x00000071 firewall/connection error in gom player. nothing would fix it, gom wouldn't pay attention to me. you, sir, are WIN!
|
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?
|
no it seems like gom changed their security protocol again
|
So anything we can do to accommodate the new protocol thingy? =/
|
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

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

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.

Well I don't have that many people attempting to use it now (because you can't make vlc talk directly to GOM any more) and firefox has decided to update its major version every week, it seems like, so I didn't get round to updating the one line in the addon that sets the maximum version string.
I have just uploaded a version 0.1.4 that with the version string set a bit later, so it will at least attempt to install on newer firefoxen..
If this wasn't your problem, then it would help to at least have more information than just 'doesn't work'.

the beta mac client works fine for me, no problems

hello, can you post up the source code for the .xpi file. the data seems garbled when i tried to open it in notepad++

The files in the .xpi are all text-readable and human-writeable, but they're packed and compressed with the pkzip algorithm. Use whatever tool you use to open up .zip files to unpack it.(Those tools include 'winzip' if you're on windows, or 'unzip', or I think later versions of Windows can natively open .zip files. You might have to work around by renaming the file to .zip or whatever)

Although this is a very old thread, I think it's worthy of a bump - it still works, for me too
EDIT: Of course, suddenly it's stopped working and I don't know why or how 
|
Umm... I'm on a Mac and whenever I try using GOM Player it works. Also, now you have the http://www.twitch.tv/gomtv link. Why would you still need a work around?
|
Thank you so much!
For me, the GOM Player isn't working at all. The twitchtv link wasn't in the sidebar on the TL Streams so I assumed it wasn't active anymore. But now I can watch it there just fine!

-macbook pre 10.5
-linux
-i think the twitch.tv link is only for the blizzard cup (maybe they're just trying it out to see how it works)

OP, could you (or someone) repost the file? Can't get hold of it.
Edit: Sorry, of course there's downloads available which can be found by Google search.
|
Doesent work for me. The file I download is a blank icon and doesent do anything when I try to open it with VLC.

I don't think this addon has been updated recently. You should try the "Gomstreamer" script found at http://sjp.co.nz/projects/gomstreamer/
It's a multi-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS) solution to watch GSL with VLC or any other player that supports the video format.

It doesn't work for me, too.
I have black screen with GomTV player (there is sound) that's why I'm looking for sth else.
Is there any other working alternative for WinXP?
