There are 3 different approaches for playing Sopcast streams (e.g. sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/12345).
- The only seamless integration known by now is using a DSPlayer version of XBMC and setup the SopFilter as Filter. (HowTo). There is also a pre-eden version of XBMC with DSPlayer (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=106629).
- Use an external player:
- (Windows 32bit only) SopFilter
- (Windows 32bit only) Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC)
Windows: As soon as you have installed SopFilter you can use these links in all DirectShow video players such as MPC-HC.
Linux / Mac: see http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=871519&postcount=2 and http://www.myp2p.eu/softwareitem.php?sof...t=software
External Players can be defined in userdata\playercorefactory.xml.
Example for MPC-HC (Windows):
Code:<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Programme\MPC HomeCinema\mpc-hc.exe</filename>
<args>"{1}" /fullscreen /close</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule protocols="sop" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
- (Windows 32bit only) SopFilter
- Start Sopcast hidden with commandline switches and let it stream back to xbmc (HowTo by membrane).
