Hi there,

is it possible to port this to MorphOS? It would be pretty nice to be able to watch sopcast streams with morphos.
A lot of foreign sports events are broadcasted with sopcast :)

http://code.google.com/p/sopcast-player/

there is also a command line version:

http://www.sopcast.com/download/linux.html

But I don't know if the sources are available at all.

Google Code projects are all open-source and the license given is GPL v2 which guarantees that it will always be open-source. Unfortunately, the GUI would have to be completely rewritten for using MUI since SopCast is written specifically for Linux.

::edit::
It looks like it's just a GTK+ GUI wrapper for VLC written in Python. It would be better off rewritten from scratch.

i dont know much about all this source code stuff, but does it look like much work? i guess its only about catching the stream sourcelink and add it to mplayer if it works that way, dont know

What I'm trying to say is that this project you've pointed out is just a GUI wrapper for VLC. VLC is a popular audio/video streaming software for Linux, Mac and I assume Windows as well. It is a program that does the same thing as MPlayer but supports some different formats.

Is it generally possible to port Sopcast to MorphOS. the streams are actually played with mplayer or vlc. it would be pretty nice to have the best sport streaming platform on morphos.

Maybe MPlayer could do the same thing.

the problem is that sopcast uses sop:// links and mplayer cant handle them directly. sopcast is redirecting the stream to an player afaik. it shouldnt be that hard to write software for that purpose right?
