depro Wrote:Just installed Sportsdevil in my AppleTV2 as per first post.
It seems most of the links are "Sopcast" links and I cannot run any of them (either firstrow or myp2p "Now playing").
Do I need further add-ons to make Sopcast links work on AppleTV2?
Thanks!

AFAIK Sopcast doesn't work on ATV2 - with a lot of messing about some have had success with Sopcast on Windows but I'm fairly sure there is no sopcast client available for atv. Most of the others should work - you'll need t0mm0's veetle addon installed for the veetle streams to work.

thanks for your answer. I'll go with the veetle links then.

how did you modify the external player for use with sopcast for windows? Not sure how to edit it for linux?

Personally I never had any success with Sopcast as I'm running Win7 x64, it would appear that for this workaround to actually work you need a 32bit windows OS. There is documentation on the initial development thread here if you fancy taking a look.

I just tried it out. There are 3 links at the moment:

Link HD => ZoneIn => working
Link 2 => SeeOn => offline
ESPN 2 => SeeOn => offline

I hope you can watch your favorite stream again.

Sorry, I have to wait for the next limeV stream. Maybe the rtmpe:// address is not valid anymore.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand on defining an external player in Linux using this as a guide:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Programme\MPC HomeCinema\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule protocols="sop" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>

I am using sop cast player 0.71
http://code.google.com/p/sopcast-player/

Would it be a better idea to use VLC to play the sop streams, though it must be left up and running for the streams to come through.

I think I can see where this needs to be modified, but I am not sure what to modify them to.

The Items in bold are where I believe the changes need to be made, if anyone could offer some insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Also It seems that streamtorrent and veetle (wich is covered allready) are becoming extremely more prevalent see article below (trying to get this squared away before the start of the college football season)

Can you try this?
Code:
<playercorefactory>
  <players>
    <player name="SopCast" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
      <filename>/usr/bin/sopcast-player.py</filename>
      <args>{1}</args>
      <hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
      <hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
      <warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
    </player>
  </players>
  <rules action="prepend">
    <rule protocols="sop" player="SopCast"/>
  </rules>
</playercorefactory>

I can't test it. But according to the installation instructions of sopcast player 0.71 this should be the right filename (maybe without ".py"). Search for further arguments.


- Hudson_Hawk04 - 2011-07-06 18:24

given that I have found a sopcast player for linux sop cast player 0.71 link provided in post above, change the file path name, and change the Player= sop-cast player?

Yes, but they have the same streams as livetv.ru or even less.

I will give it a shot here in a few.
