Hi @colibris79, please run launcher with the -v argument and provide the output.

I've tried a stream that was working and another one that was not and got basically the same output

Getting the same error

[alexjp]

the new beta version of acestream for linux should fix this error

[colibris79]

@alexjp , where can I download beta versions for acestream?
EDIT: found it. Guess you refer to this ones:
http://wiki.acestream.org/wiki/index.php/Download

Has anyone tried it with acestream launcher already?

[alexjp]

follow this link: http://wiki.acestream.org/wiki/index.php/Download#Linux ( its the link on the readme of this project ).

in there, on the linux binaries, you have the beta acestream

EDIT: yes, it works ( if you have a libcrypto.so.1.0 missing, its because it needs openssl 1.0 ( some distros already have 1.1 ) )

Does the issue in OP happen with the Snap package too?

I'm using the Snap package on 18.10 Ubuntu (OP's Mint 18.3 is 16.04). No issues.

[colibris79]

I couldn't make it work even with the snap package. And now the acestream:// links in browser are not being opened by the acestream player y have to manually open it and copy the url to play the stream. How can I restore my browser to open automatically the acestream:// links with acestream player?
