Link to Extension-Page

Released version 0.1.8
- added update msg functionality
- refactored code
- fixed minor bugs
- removed SQTest-Stream Option

Problems with VLC & the new User-Agent hurdle:
For now it seems you have to rely on the solutions mentioned in this thread. I hope to come up with a simpler/cleaner solution, as soon as I have more time on my hands.

Sorry for not responding to this problems the last few days.

Released version 0.1.6
hopefully fixed HQ-Stream-Link for premium account holders
Released version 0.1.5
Minor changes, hoping HQ will work now for season ticket owners. Please provide me with feedback. (I have no way to test it, sorry)

Released version 0.1.4!

In this version you should get a message if you are trying to get the HQ stream without having a premium account.

Also, hopefully for you proud owners of a season ticked, the HQ button should give you now the correct stream link.

If you have installed version 0.1.3, the auto-update function should do the update for you.

Old Patchnotes:
+ Show Spoiler +
So, the update is out.
I just found out that the first version did not have the update function activated. I'm sorry for this misshap, but you have to update manually. Just press the install button on bitsports.com again.

I hope the auto-update function will work for the next Version.
As always, please provide some feedback. (does the autoupdate work and so on ... )

Patch 0.1.3 changelog:
background: dynamic stream quality
background: added auto-update functionality
UI: added 3 buttons, one for each stream


Updated Guide:
+ Show Spoiler +
Go to: bitsports.com and install it. After that, whenever you visit gomtv.net you'll have a bar at the top that ether tells you to log in, when the next stream will be, or give you the 3 buttons to choose the stream quality.
[image loading]

After clicking the right one for you, and a short time of "loading ...", you'll get the stream-link according to your choice.

Now just right-click the LINK, and press "Copy Link Address".
[image loading]


Open VLC, click "File", "Open Network ..." and paste the copied address in. Click "Open"!

Initial Post: (for more information)
+ Show Spoiler +
Hi!

This is my first post on TL.net and english is not my native language, so please forgive me any errors.

The HOW:
+ Show Spoiler +
Go to: bitsports.com and install it. After that, whenever you visit gomtv.net you'll have a bar at the top that ether tells you to log in, when the next stream will be, or give you the Stream-Link.

When a stream is available, just right-click the LINK, press "Copy Link Address".
[image loading]

Open VLC, click "File", "Open Network ..." and paste the copied address in. Click "Open"!
[image loading]


The WHY:
+ Show Spoiler +
Most of the time, when I'm online, I'm on Linux or Mac OS X ... so no GomTV-Player.

In the first season of GSL, I've seen a thread on how to watch it on VLC, but it needed some manual steps to get/generate the Stream-Link so it would work via VLC. I then thought to my self, how about a Chrome Extension that does this for me.

I did that (Browser Action Extension, the button thing on the right with a pop-up), and it worked, it was pretty too. After some time I thought of distributing it, but never came around to do it.

But finally the time has come where I wanna share it with you, but came to the conclusion that a content script would be better. It's just more simple and clean, no clutter.


Last:
I hope that some of you will test it, and provide me with some feedback, so I can fix bugs / enhance the extension.

I hope I can make some of you happy with this Extension. I'm open for any suggestions!

Also, the Extension is not in the Google Store, because I do not own a credit card. To publish a free extension, you need to have a developer account, which costs 5$ and is only payable by credit card.

PS: Love the TL.net community

+ Show Spoiler +
__UPDATE__:
For all who wanna watch the HQ-Stream, I'm working on releasing an update for later today, to give you all 3 options (SQTest, SQ, HQ).

For now you'll only get the SQTest-Stream-Link (which in my experience was the most stable for now).

But it would be also good to know if you have any problems with the extension in general, so i can fix them before the next cast

For example: Check if the displayed Date and Time of the next Stream is displayed correctly, also if the timezone is yours.

I don´t know if gomtv will like it, but it is def nice for us

I have a small bug, it says: (german)
Mitteleurop�ische Zeit
instead of the "�" there should be a "ä", so it probably can´t show ä, ö, ü
maybe it´s only a problem for me? everything else is fine

GOM can still track the number of viewers if people are using VLC, they just get less people knowing about GOM player.

Considering GOM Player does not work on as many systems as VLC, they have no reason to complain.

Does this have the possibility of everyone getting the same server and making it lag for everyone? If so, you ought to remove this, load balancing is there for a reason :b

No, always a different server. I'm essentially using the same information the GomTV player gets.

It's not a re-stream, or something like that. It is the exact same connection the GomTV-Player would use. So there shouldn't be any problems.

Thanks for the bugreport, I'll look into that.

No, this is my first ever Extension/Addon. Maybe I'll do one for FF too, but for now Chrome only.

Great guide, I have run into this sometimes when working in labs... always used some ghetto remote connection to try and watch it.

This is the first version, for now it will only give you the link for the SQ-Stream. But it wouldn't be too hard (very easy in fact) to add the HQ-Link. But I'm not sure how to implement it UI wise.

I could display both for every one, and the HQ one would only work for those with a premium account.

I'd need to find a way to check for premium, if it should display it according to your account, but that would probably require me to have a premium account for testing (which i don't have).
But I'll look into that.

Thank you for your feedback!

Edit:

Does anybody know if there is any difference on the page itself (for which I could check), if you have a premium account compared to a standard account?

Oh wow, this is awesome. I love both Chrome and VLC, so I'm definitely going to give this a try. Mad props for making this
