Sopcast for OSX

S

Message was edited by: gurk

This sequence offered by Pong worked great the first time I did it... now I can't get sopcast to stay open it keeps closing itself with a user not allowed error? No sure what to do, the only thing different between what you said and what I did is that my operating system is 10.5, where yours was under Tiger. Aside form that it is all the same, but as I said it did work.
What happens, is that I can sign in as Anon, but after 20 secs it crashes (disappears) without having done anything, I was looking up the channel and it died, I did it again and again and no luck. I uninstalled Sop and installed a new one, still nothing.

Any ideas?

When i try to do part C) Run Installer to install SopCast 1.1.2) the installer will not let me highlight the sopcast1.1.2.exe Any Help?

hi, have you looked at justin.tv, it has all the footy shown on hear, ok sometimes the commentary can be in arabic or chinese but there is sky tv on there as well.
good luck

i have OSX 10.4.11 & downloaded Crossover demo.

ive been trying to download and install IE6 WMP7 & 9 and 11(for windows)
i installed sopcast and everything is working except the player. the channel loads up (100) and then nuttin. tht lil screen is pitch black.

i checked the options and there is option were i can use a different player. but when i click on the button, the table pops up and every file supposed to end in .exe

heres my q. do you know any players that once installed they'd end in .exe?

thanks for suggestions.......i did everything that u wrote here....but it doesnt even appear to me that i need codec or something......it just simply doesnt show.....it shows only web page in player...........

hi there

I have installed CrossOver 7.0.1, and followed instructions correctly to download IE6, then windows media player 7 and then 9. I then installed sopcast 2.0.4 (i also tried with the newer version, 3.0.3 i believe). However, when I open sopcast and log in as anonymous, the program just hangs, with the cursor and an unmoving egg timer (windows icons). Any idea what I'm doing wrong or should try instead? Do I have to create an account?...

Thanks!

The same thing is happening to me...did you figure out the solution? thx



Hi, I have followed your orderly list and all is good until I enter a url in the mplayer 'open location'...then nothing. Everything else is spot on can you please advise. I have never used sopcast so I am a bit out of place. cheers.

I got the same exact problem, then realized i had installed media player 9 and sopcast in different bottles in crossover. whatever that means. i deleted the bottle containing the sopcast installation, that removed all the installation files, so i could just install again to same bottle where explorer, media player and other junk was. Now it works just fine, thanks for other users for tips!

Got it working for the most part - VLC won't work as it drops the feed every 10 seconds - really annoying.

Doing it with Media Player isn't working however. The first link it gives me when prompting me for the codec works - but the download link doesn't work.

I googled the codec and installed it (WM9Codecs9x.exe) - but I keep on getting the same prompt for the codec when I open up W Media Player.

What's the deal? :/

Hi POng,

I need some help -- I followed your directions exactly and it came on and was working for a few minutes and then went down. I got it working again for less than a minute this next time and then the MPlayer went blank again. I know the SOPcast channel I am using is working - and I made sure the "Use Cache" was set in the miscellaneous file, so what's going on here? Please help!

Thanks so much!

I am new to Mac and I don't know the way to run installer to install SopCast.zip.

Can anyone help me out?

Hello Kamlesh, and a warm welcome to the forums! 🙂

Double click on the .zip file, that should unzip it, then you should have either a .dmg which you double click on again to mount and has a pkg you install, or it may unzip to a pkg in the first place to double click on to install. 🙂

Hi POng -
I did a search on sopcast for mac and the best instructions I found were your posts on this forum (8 months ago!) I followed all your instructions and it works just fine but only for about 2 minutes, and then the window in MPlayer collapses. I changed the cache preferences as you recommended but I still can't get it to work... do you have any suggestions?
Sorry to bother you,
Nadia
