Hello everyone, those of you you who are using VLC to watch the GSL might have noticed that Gomtv reworked their page, and that you can't obtain a VLC link as easily as before.
Fortunately, it's not a lot more complicated than it used to, so, here's a little guide that will allow you to get VLC link.
For Mac users, I suggest that for Step 1, you jump straight to the alternate method proposed by Deconduo, as it seems to work fine whereas other methods haven't been tested.
Note: I will not provide any VLC link in this thread. First, because it is against TL's policy, and second, because it distrupts Gomtv's server load balacing.
Step 1 : getting the LiveAdress
Straightforward method using IE8/Opera
1. Go to gomtv.net
2. Press the "Go Live" button.
3. Login.
4. Refresh the page. (On Opera, it seems that if you don't, you won't get the key, and it won't work).
5. Press the SQLive test button (I didn't test the method for the subscriber buttons, but I guess it works the same).
6. A window will show up asking you what to do (If it doesn't and starts GomPlayer directly, read the notes below).
7-IE. There will be 3 lines, the third one being adress. Select the text (using mouse, Ctrl+A won't work), copy it (ctrl+c) and paste it (ctrl+v) to word (or any other
7- Opera. Opera will display a link, you should copy the adress thart starts with http://www.gomtv.net/.... up to the end of the last line (Don't stop at a line break! For reference, the last part is &title=...)
8. The adress will look like gomcmd://........httpp://www.gomtv.net/.... Copy the part from http://www.gomtv.net to the end. It's an adress (It seems that having a dot (.) or not at the end of the adress doesn't matter)
9. Paste the adress you just copied in your usual browser's adress bar to open the page, it will display "All rights reserved", etc.
10. Show this page's source code.
11. There will be a link in the middle of the page, copy the part that starts after "LiveAdress=" to the end. (Warning, do NOT copy the LiveAdress=, only the following, to the end).
12. I will refer to the link you just copied as the "LiveAdress" from now on.
Note : if you have no window that shows up in 6., it's because you told IE (or Opera) to open this link with GomPlayer everytime. A workaround is to use Opera if you used to use IE (& vice versa).
Using Chrome
Do the same, but when Chrome will display the link (in 6.), you won't be able to copypaste it. Hence, you will have to copy it on your own (or do a screencap and use OCR software).
I don't recomend this method as you will likely make a mistake copying the link.
Alternate method (courtesy of Deconduo)
1. Go to gomtv.net,
2. Click live
3. Login
4. Refresh
5. Show source
6. Search for "Goxurl"
7. Copy the adress after "Goxurl="" that is between brackets ; starting from http:// and stopping at &title (don't include the &title into your selection)
8. Replace the " + playType + " (including the brackets) part of the adress with the playtype you want (Warning: Caps matter)
- SQTest for SQ.
- It appears that you can only watch the SQTest stream, even though you have a paid subscription.
9. Once you replaced that part, you now have an adress, paste it into your adress bar and load, you will get a page that displays "All rights reserved".
10. Show this page's source code.
11. There will be a link in the middle of the page, copy the part that starts after "LiveAdress=" to the end. (Warning, do NOT copy the LiveAdress=, only the following, to the end).
12. I will refer to the link you just copied as the "LiveAdress" from now on.
Step 2 : Unescaping the LiveAdress
The LiveAdress won't look good, and will have lots of &2B's and stuff in it, which VLC won't recognize, so, do the following:
1. Go to http://www.linkedresources.com/tools/unescaper_v0.2b1.html
2. Paste the LiveAdress in the first box
3. Press Convert
4. Copy the link that appeared in the second box
5. From now on, I wil refer to the link you copied in 4. as the VLC Link
Step 3 : Opening the LiveAdress in VLC.
This part is much more simple.
1. Start VLC
2. Press Media, open Network Stream.
3. Copy the VLC Link in the network URL box.
4. Press Play
5. Watch
Extra Step 4 : Recording the stream (not required to watch.)
This is only if you want to record the GSL while you are away. Do the same as in Step 3 up to the 3rd step, then, do the folowing:
4. Press little arrow next to the "Play button", and press convert.
5. Click Browse, and navigate to where you want to record the video. Name it whateveryoulike.asf (the .asf does matter)
6. Leave "Display the output" unchecked.
7. Press the little tools button next to the Profile box
8. In encapsulation, choose ASF/WMV, leave the rest unchanged.
9. Check the "Dump raw input" box.
10. Press Start.
11. Browse your computer to the location you chose in 4. Open the whateveryoulike.asf that you will find there.
12. Watch.
Note: the recording will stop automatically as soon as the show is over.
Troubleshooting
Most problems happen when you try to open the page to retrieve the LiveAdress
- If you get a page that says "1001", return to Step 1-4 and press refresh this time. Check that you do have something different from 0 after mb_no=... If you don't, do the Chrome method, and just copy what's after mb_no=... Refreshing should work though.
- If you get a page that says "1002", odds are you used the alternate method and used wrong Caps (writing SQTEST for SQTest for instance), start over at Step 1-8 (Alternate method)
- If you get another error, please send me your link via PM, I don't understand all error messages yet (especially the one that says something about unpacking, for now, just do Step 1 again)
- In most cases, doing Step 1 over and carefuly refreshing does work.
Closing remarks
- I do not know of any means to automate this process, you will have to do it on your own everytime you want to watch GSL, and, won't be able to record the GSL while you are away.
- I'm not an expert, I'm probably not providing you with the best method to do this, just with a working one. (I actually know that steps 3 and 4 can be automated, but I have no been able to do it yet).
- If anyone is wiling to help, please do, I will edit the OP if needed. (Especially if you understand VLC scripts and want to help with Step 4).

Another way to get the the All Rights Reserved page:
After logging in, look at the source of the Go Live page.
Search for the following line:
var goxUrl = "http://www.gomtv.net/gox/gox.gom?leagueid=20119&strLevel=" + playType + "&target=live&mb_no=00000000000000000="+tmpThis.title;
For playType, use SQTest or HQ if you have a ticket. The 000000000 part will be a code unique to your login. Then the URL you want will be this:
http://www.gomtv.net/gox/gox.gom?leagueid=20119&strLevel=SQTest&target=live&mb_no=00000000000000000=
Go to that page and look at the source. Then take everything between LiveAddr= and ;Format. Then all you need to do is Unescape it.

I'll edit this alternate method into the post, nice find!
(I noticed an error message if you use wrong caps, so I added that too)

step 1 works for firefox too

Thanks for helping out, Krallin. I am, however, having an issue:
I can get to the
GOMTV.NET (c) Gretech Corp. All Rights Reserved
website, but the source of this website, whether it's done in Safari or FIrefox, looks like this:
+ Show Spoiler +<GOX> <TITLE></TITLE> <ENTRY> <TITLE></TITLE> <AUTHOR>GOMTV.NET</AUTHOR> <COPYRIGHT>(c) Gretech Corp. All Rights Reserved</COPYRIGHT> <REF href="avis:///view.cgi?hid=1&cid=20119&nid=&uno=5109700&uip=62.107.127.173&title=&key=11da4a97ccd864f8a40c8f96fb098dde"/> </ENTRY> </GOX>
With no LiveAddress or ;Format. I tried messing around with the avis:/// part, but I was unsure of what to unescape.
Thanks for helping

Hi, did this happen only today?
There have been several issues with the stream today, so it might be related.
The problem is that you won't be able to get anywhere with what you got, given that you are missing the crucial IP adress and port of Gom's streaming servers.
I'll look into tomorrow during the next live, please tell me if the same issue occurs again while following the exact steps I detailed in step 1.
|
Hi Krallin, I did exactly as posted in the alternate mode and ended up at the same place. I tried writing both HQ and SQ in the "+ playtype +" field. (I have a paid subscription)
Thanks again
|
The IP won't show up if you enter an invalid stream type, it has to be "HQ", "SQ", "SQTest" *exactly* including case. If you don't see the ip or port it means you entered it wrong.
It doesn't matter thought, as far as I can tell the ips you get (port 8902 or 8900) when you pass SQ or HQ aren't valid, or they are but it's broken. The only way you can watch it through VLC is with the SQTest URL on port 8800.
|
Thanks Shadowed. Someone posted the VLC link for today and it looked like this:
+ Show Spoiler +http://211.43.144.186:8800/view.cgi?hid=1&cid=20119&nid=800&uno=1464600&uip=71.70.156.176&title=Sony+Ericsson+GSL+Jan.+Code+A&key=d65cc0811ace59d46662d309ae207544&
|
That's the SQTest link, which is reporting a valid ip/port combo when you manually pull the URL. SQTest = port 8800, HQ = port 8902, SQ = port 8900.
|
Whoa, I am way in over my head here, I have very little knowledge on anything digital. PM me if you have a question on molecular biology, will you. : P
But are you saying, that if someone, somehow finds the VLC link, I can replace the 8800 part with 8902 to watch it in HD since I paid? Nah, that can't be, there must something in the remaining code that should identify me as the user.
|
It appears I was wrong, it looks like that port does actually work, so you can stream VLC with it on HQ. They changed it so you can't have two people watching a stream at the same time it seems. So if you're sharing an account and it doesn't work, try it without anyone else watching something.
|
Well that link was a link that someone used 2 days ago and it doesn't work anymore. Looks to me like they changed the way you acquire the link for VLC so that the methods displayed here aren't valid anymore. Thanks for your help though guys.
|
Does anyone know how to extract .flv links from the VOD page? i'd like to download them while I'm at work so I can watch them later in the day and not have to deal with the stupid buffering problems.
i do a similar method to the OP but i keep getting an access denied HTTP status code (i'm logged in to the site).
any ideas?

This is exactly what I am getting. No idea what to do from here.

Thank you for this. This worked perfectly.

Firefox and IE both give me this when I follow the OP.
