+1 would really like this! there are some really good sopcast streams.
Can someone fix the old sopcast addon?
i would love to see this too, especially one that can run als client on the atv2. I got a nas server which could do all the hard p2p work.
+1 from me. If we can have sopcast runining on xbmc, it will be great
+1....it will be great .... i can't wait to see sop streams on xbmc..
Yeah this would be a cool feature.
+1....Football with sopcast....great
xSopcast still works, I use it nearly everyday. You have to do a few things to fix it.
First, it needs to updated to the new plugin format (eg. create a default.py). There are tutorials on how to do this.
Then, when you run it for the first time it will fail. You need to modify where the plugin looks for sopcast channels. This might be set in advancedsettings.xml. Check your xbmc log file. I changed mine to a local file (chlist.xml) which I edit by hand when needed.
One problem is that when you stop playback in xbmc, the sp-sc program keeps running in the background and you cannot change streams. I got around this by putting a script in advanced launcher to close sp-sc.
Sorry I cannot give more details, I worked on this a year ago and my memory is not good. I am a complete noob - anybody with decent python skills could use xsopcast and make a great plugin.
Thanks for the info. I wish you gave more detail how to make Sopcast work.
Hopefully someone can figure out and make a new plug-in for Sopcast work in Xbmc

Seconded. I`d love a working plugin for Sopcast or even an explanation as how to get a stream (Sopcast) running in VLC on windows to run on xmbc on atv2

Simply make a .m3u file containing a link to your pc running sopcast (eg.
http://192.168.0.2:8902).
You still need to run sopcast and VLC for streaming in other PC right?
Work but kind of inconvenience. A plug in for this will be great
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but I really need a few more words
So basically I use notepad and just have my IP address as a link inside it, i rename the extension to .m3u and then where do I put this file?
