StreamlinkSource doesn't play for AfreecaTV live streams about obs-streamlink HOT 5 OPEN

Bumped. Any advice on this? What is the format of the URL that I must enter for AfreecaTV livestreams? Thanks!

This project is rather not very active maintained because I don't currently have time for that...

The problem is that the current approach to streamlink and call ffmpeg is fragile across OBS versions. The latest OBS-Streamlink is only tested on OBS 28 and every major OBS update breaks the plugin because of the design issue in the plugin.

A rewrite of the plugin may be required, but if you want to use the plugin right now, try install OBS 28 or use a portable OBS 28 installation.

Additionally, if the bundled Streamlink is too old to use AfreecaTV, you can try to update it by navigating to data/obs-plugins/obs-streamlink/python38 and execute ./python -m pip --upgrade streamlink.

Thanks for the reply. My Streamlink version can run AfreecaTV streams just fine on VLC player, so maybe the problem isn't the Streamlink version.

Before I attempt something crazy, could you confirm what is the format of the URL that should be put? There is no guide as to what to type...

For example, for AfreecaTV I am watching the livestream in Chrome using this URL:
https://play.afreecatv.com/daarinaaa/269951812
Where daarinaaa is the username, and 269951812 is the video/stream ID (!?)
Should I put this link into Obs Studio? Or another format is needed?

Thanks!

The URL format is correct accord to Streamlink docs, but I doubt the bundled streamlink is new enough to pull stream for AfreecatTV. The plugins is calling streamlink within its bundled Python, not the one you installed in your own Python installation or installed standalonely.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but you can maybe try the following:

1. Find a portable OBS 28 installation(download the -Full.zip one): https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/28.1.2
2. Unzip the file and put it into a desired place.
3. Install OBS-Streamlink into the portable OBS folder.
4. Navigate to your-portable-OBS-folder/data/obs-plugins/obs-streamlink/python38 and execute ./python -m pip --upgrade streamlink.
