Sopcast - anyone got it to work on F7

Hi everyone, I just wondered if anyone have got Sopcast or gsopcast to work on F7?

No, but I may try. Did you try yet and did you find any problems?

I got the older versions to run (on FC6), but not anything later. Now I can't seem to find a working version....

I just got it working. There was no problem. I just did...

Code:

wget http://apt.magiclinux.org/magic/2.1/unstable/RPMS.os/qsopcast-0.2.4-4mgc.i686.rpm
rpm -ivh qsopcast-0.2.4-4mgc.i686.rpm

That was it. Do "qsopcast" to run it.

It uses kaffeine as the player, so I guess you need that installed too. The menus are full of rubbish characters but I seem to recall that was the same in Windows too... other than that, it works nicely.

I ran qsopcast, but even though I got 100% I did not get video (I installed kaffeine as well). Does not anyone know a working gsopcast version that uses mplayer?

i had the same problem running sopcast on windows as tuna.
do you know of other equivs working on linux i.e. tvants, tvu, ppmate(never got that one to work)?

I think only sopcast is available on Gnu/Linux. I don't think any of the other streaming programs work in wine either, but I would be quite pleased if I was wrong.

so, what do you have to do to make it work with kaffeine?

This link is outdated. Do you have a new download link (the one on the sopcast site doesn't work either) or can you send the rpm? Thanks.

Can't you use google like everyone else?

http://code.google.com/p/qsopcast/downloads/list

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html

etc

Believe it or not I actually did. A majority of the googling links to those chinese servers that aren't hosting the packages anymore. And what in god's name is the point of the forums if I should be googling then?? You know what, let's just take down all forums - from now on google is our forum! Makes perfect sense...

great idea!

I haven't been Sopcast'ing lately because all the games are on people's embedded tv channels on justin.tv. Makes no sense to use this application that sucks up so much bandwidth you cannot navigate to other websites or use IRC. Praise for justin.tv/rags2riches
