Hi,
I sometimes enjoy watching a Sopcast stream.
I know there should be some XBMC support for that but didn't find any yet.
Can someone please exlpain to me how can I play Sopcast stream?

I use Mythbuntu 9.04 with XBMC 9.11
Thank you very much.

my notes on this are a little incomplete but i think you do this;

create a text file - name it sopcast.m3u and paste the following as contents;
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:- 1,http://<pc ip address>:8902/tv.asf
http://<pc ip address>:8902/tv.asf

ftp it over to your xbox, load up a sopcast channel on your pc. Navigate to the file through xbmc and play. If it doesn't play check the port number is correct - i think older versions of Sopcast used 8900.

if you get drop outs;
Start your sopcast stream and load your m3u file on xbmc (or other equivalent stream file)
then click "menu" on the remote and select "Video Settings" (the option just underneath the big pause in the middle", go right down to the bottom and select "No Cache".

If I don't have Xbox but regular PC - is it the same procedure?

I am watching SopCast streams in XBMC like this:
-Install SopCast Filter (here)
-Install "Executor" Addon, you can find it as an addon under "Programs"
-Use Windows Media Player to play the SopCast stream by creating a *.bat file with the following contents:
Quote:"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/%1 /fullscreen /play /close

and the argument to this batch file is the Channel ID of the SopCast stream (which you can easily find by looking at the source code of a webpage where you have the stream running, or just search on the internet - there are a lot of channels listed here

-Enjoy!
