Description

I remember watching AfreecaTV livestreams through youtube-dl a while ago and I haven't been able watch them. The VODs seem to work but live streams don't. The link above (https://play.afreecatv.com/dth03119/23225086) is currently live but won't be later on. More livestreams can be found on the AfreecaTV homepage.

I think it's a simple matter of Afreeca updated their player, and ytdl hasn't been updated to reflect that.
