Hi guys, first post on TL. I would like to announce a tool I made to help me (an Ubuntu user) watch the GSL live without having to boot into a Windows VM and use the GOM Player.

I have made GOMstreamer this available on my server:

http://sjp.co.nz/projects/gomstreamer/

Instructions and links to downloads for Windows, Mac and Linux are available on that page.

Note: Originally this was only for Mac and Linux only, but more recently GOMstreamer was ported to C# and is now available on Windows (so long as .NET Framework 2.0 is available).

Noev: You should be able to watch it in HQ (assuming you have a premium account) with a small modification to the gomstreamer.py file, changing hq = False to hq = True. I can't test this though because I don't have a premium account this season.

Why would you watch an illegal restream when you can support GomTV by watching their ACTUAL stream?

I very much doubt they get anything based on the number of people on the free stream. There aren't any commercials and sponsors just donate a set amount. If anything, more people on the network probably costs them more from added bandwidth overhead.

But they get data on the # of people who are watching the games, which they can then show to advertisers/sponsors.

When you say "run run.sh" what do you mean exactly? I'm pretty noobish with computers; I've only done very basic python programming. run.sh just opens in textedit for me (I'm on a Mac). Sorry for maybe asking a stupid question, and thanks for the program! I've always wanted to watch GOM's stream directly in order to give them the correct viewership numbers.
Weird, last time I checked the UN said you need to have at least 200 APM and be rainbow league to be called human. —Liquid`TLO

its a shell script.
do you know what bat files are in windows?
its basically that, except shells are much more powerful in what they can do.

in this case, you can think of it as an executable.

Open a terminal, navigate to the directory with the files and type:
./run.sh

That's how it works on a Linux machine anyway. But since Macs have a similar OS, it should be the same.

If you can't get this to work, I've been using this Greasemonkey script (http://hawflakes.unoc.net/?p=191 click the 'download vlcgomgreaser.user' link just above the script on the page) link to get the SQ Livestream to work through VLC in OSX.

It fetches the SQ link for you and shows it in red text on the 'go live' page. Copy+paste into the 'Open Network' tab in VLC (Apple+N) and you're set.
