I use the standard ways to get the GSL stream link, and pasted it in Chrome(Instead of VLC!) and pressed enter. Chrome now "downloads" the file - it's actually downloading the stream to your hard drive. I expect it downloads as long as the stream is live. I then had VLC open the view.cgi.crdownload file - works just like it used to! When you're done watching, close VLC and cancel the download in Chrome. Hopefully that works for all my fellow Mac users 
Thank you so so so so so so much you kind terrific wonderful person. I love you so much <3

this extension doesent work for me

I'd love if the actually spent time on developing a Mac player instead of spending all their time on making alternative ways of watching the games impossible. Sad.

Doesn't work today (was working perfect before)

Apparently they are blocking the VLC User Agent now.
If you want to do the chrome trick in Firefox or Safari just change your User Agent to GomPlayer (Google for how to do that), paste the VLC link into your browser and play the .cgi file it's downloading. Works like a charm in Safari here.

thanks for your help,
unfortunately i'm just not able to do it.
i don't get any cgi file. any idea what i am doing wrong?

derElbe, let me know the steps you're doing
|
got the extensio in chrome,
getting the SQ TEST URL in Chrome and pasted in Safari
|
I got the extension form chrome
Changed the user agent in Safari to -> "GomPlayer 2, 1, 17, 4710 (ENG)"
Pasted the url in Safari after I changed UA
Does not work - so I guess my UA from GOM is wrong.

Oh my i got it to work!! Here's what I did using firefox:
I found out how to switch the user agent at these websites
http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2004/04/24/changinguseragent.html
When in the list of random 'stuff' in the 'about.config' menu, i searched for gom, and found two entries one of which is the add on. I switched both user agents to "GomPlayer"
Then I tried opening the stream the way I always do, just by clicking the Gom streaming link.... when I got the error that began to show up this morning, I clicked "show details" and found the link to the stream in the details.
Then I just copy pasted the link in firefox browser... then it asked me to save the file. so i did.... then i went to downloads and clicked 'show in finder' (or something like that).
Then, and this is important. I found a DIFFERENT file very similar to it, and tried opening it with VLC. The actual file that is downloading did not work in VLC, but a mysterious similar file that simultaneously downloaded (not in a streaming-like fashion) DID work in VLC and te stream went live instantly.
Hope this helps anyone because it took me a bit of figuring out and it was complex. I probably took some unnecessary steps in between but this is what worked so here it is.

I've figured out how to get vlc to work! GOM is blocking the VLC client by filtering all clients not using their useragent. Their useragent is KPeerClient. Start vlc using this command from your command line:
vlc --http-user-agent KPeerClient
and everything should work.

I got it!
On Mac: open Terminal.app (it should be in Applications/Utilities).
Type this in [CORRECTED]:
/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --http-user-agent KPeerClient
Punch in your link as usual. It works, it works! Hallelujah!

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --http-user-agent KPeerClient in OSX

This works. You might need a few tries before it actually connects though. However, the stream seems to be down for everyone regardless of player right now.

it still won't work for me although i could open vlc with the command.
chrome extension link won't open though.
I give up. Thanks alot however
