SopCast under Linux (debian based distros) How-to (1 Viewer)

[JCK]

Since Debian based distros are popular in these parts and since SopCast is a powerful means to watch Juve games (even though we are a bit late in the season), I have decided to share with you how to install the streaming program in a simple way on your favourite operating system.

You can start by downloading the rpm package from here

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

If you don't have alien installed then do

sudo apt-get install alien

Then do

sudo alien qsopcast-0.2.4-4mgc.i686.rpm

alien changes the rpm package to a deb package and it saves by default in the home directory.

Install the debian package in anyway you think appropriate, I usually, right click - Package - Install package

Run the program by

qsopcast

The program is in Chinese but you will find your way, just plug in the address in the address bar (the only place you can type in something) or look in the channel list.

SopCast automatically opens the stream in the default video player.

I hope you enjoy it

so i am trying this out, if someone would be kind enough to post a link for the stream as well, since i have never tried the links before

bes@bes-desktop:~$ sudo alien qsopcast-0.2.4-4mgc.i686.rpm
File "qsopcast-0.2.4-4mgc.i686.rpm" not found.

Don Best, please provide the proper path for where the location of the rpm is

As for the link, don't worry about it for the first time, just choose any channel from the channel list.

thanks

Just double-click on the channel, you can watch it buffer (actually the buffer percentage is the only thing you can understand ) and when the buffer is read it will open the stream in your default player.
