i suggest keep trying... i had the same problem, and literally hit the button about 200 times before it finally worked.. it was working earlier tonight but it would cut in and out in and out in and out over and over with that error message and it randomly shutting off, now it finally seems stable

I was losing hope with GomPlayer... I'd reinstalled it and gomstreamer several times, tried SQ live, SQ and HQ standard with no hope.. Tried VLC player, tried to find restreams... Then found this thread.

Hit the play button a half dozen more times after it told me it didnt work.. and it decided to work all of a sudden.

I've been unable to watch live matches for ~2 weeks because of this.. And all it took was to spam play a more times. :/ Rageface.

Ah well, I've watched the vods now and know how to deal with gomplayer. For those having the same problem, just keep hitting play

Yeah Im guessing those that had this problem are using chrome. I tried launching it through firefox and it worked.

I got that error, just means the stream is fucked I believe. Kept hitting play and worked eventually.

Nope, browser has nothing to do with it. I used both firefox then Chrome same problem. I even went direct through the gomplayer with the GSL link.

I believe its a server issue on their part or internet connection issue on our part... or even software issue (gom Player). Anyway, its working now.

I happen to believe the problem is linked to the website, and not (or very seldom) the player.

I have experienced the same error many times and mostly fixed it by hitting "play" till it works. This I believe is related to a short-term disconnect of the stream (ie. poor wifi, lag, network timeout or bottleneck).

But whenever GomTV experiences a major break down (ie. too many simultaneous users), I believe that after they reset their streaming equipment, they post a new stream URL (to avoid another crash from users hitting play). The users clicking the pre-loaded/cached web page, will now get the error. And since most browser cache the recent pages, the users must do a hard refresh (or switch browser) which explains the part about why it sometimes works in other browsers.

My conclusion is, there is no one step solution to fix this, but try with a little patience and methodical ruling out elements. It usually works for me. I hope this post may cast a little light on the problem and possible solutions to it.
