Summary

SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV) is migrating from sooplive.co.kr to sooplive.com. As of recently, https://www.sooplive.co.kr/ redirects to https://www.sooplive.com/, and play.sooplive.co.kr redirects to play-origin.sooplive.com in the browser.

This change proactively adds play.sooplive.com as a supported URL so the plugin is ready for potential .co.kr deprecation in the future, and for users who are already using the new sooplive.com URLs. The .co.kr domain is kept for backwards compatibility in case the migration is rolled back. The legacy play.afreecatv.com URL also remains supported and functional.

Changes

Added sooplive.com to the @pluginmatcher URL regex
Added $url play.sooplive.com to plugin metadata
Updated help text to reference sooplive.com
Added corresponding test cases for URL matching and non-matching

Test plan

Tested live recording with all three supported domains — login, stream discovery, and HLS recording all work correctly:

https://play.sooplive.com/channel/ — new .com URL works
https://play.sooplive.co.kr/channel/ — existing .co.kr URL still works
https://play.afreecatv.com/channel/ — legacy afreecatv URL still works
https://sooplive.com/channel/ (without play.) — correctly rejected
Unit tests pass (tests/plugins/test_soop.py — 27/27 passed)

SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV) is migrating from sooplive.co.kr to sooplive.com. As of recently, https://www.sooplive.co.kr/ redirects to https://www.sooplive.com/, and play.sooplive.co.kr redirects to play-origin.sooplive.com in the browser. While both play.sooplive.com and play.sooplive.co.kr URLs currently work for streaming, this change proactively adds play.sooplive.com support so the plugin is ready for potential .co.kr deprecation in the future, and for users who are already using the new sooplive.com URLs. The .co.kr domain is kept for backwards compatibility in case the migration is rolled back. The legacy play.afreecatv.com URL also remains supported and functional. Tested live recording with all three domains (play.sooplive.com, play.sooplive.co.kr, play.afreecatv.com) — login, stream discovery, and HLS recording all work correctly.

Thanks for the PR.

Please change the API URLs too.

Update internal API URLs (login, channel API, auth check), Origin header, and cookie domain from .co.kr to .com to match SOOP's ongoing domain migration. Existing users with cached .co.kr cookies will re-authenticate automatically on next run if credentials are provided. Tested end-to-end with all three user-facing URL domains (play.sooplive.com, play.sooplive.co.kr, play.afreecatv.com) — login, stored cookie auth, and HLS recording all work correctly.

espressogit · 2026-03-27T11:36:12Z

Updated — API endpoints migrated from .co.kr to .com (login, channel API, auth check, Origin header, cookie domain).

        authed = False
-        if self.session.http.cookies.get_dict(domain=".sooplive.co.kr"):
+        if self.session.http.cookies.get_dict(domain=".sooplive.com"):


This will require re-authentication for users who have stored their auth credentials in the plugin cache file, but I guess it's the correct thing to change it now.

*Theoretically*, we could translate stored cookies, but it's not worth the effort.

bastimeyer · 2026-03-27T12:18:34Z

        self.session.http.headers.update({
            "Referer": self.url,
-            "Origin": "https://play.sooplive.co.kr",
+            "Origin": "https://play.sooplive.com",


Speaking of translating URLs, would it make sense translating self.url to the .com domain? Streams currently work on all URLs supported by the matchers, so it's not a requirement to do any URL translations. But should HTTP requests be rejected when using the .co.kr domain and setting the .com Origin header, then URL translations needs to be applied. For now, I think, it's good enough.
