How to watch SopCast

How to view SopCast network TV-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information through the command line is as follows. For some reason, gsopcast cannot download the channel list. Linux users are miserable now, and the only network TV cannot be seen.

In fact, what SopCast provides for Linux users is the command line tool. As long as we find the channel list and know the parameters of a channel, we can see the TV of the channel.

Follow these steps:

1. Download the command line tool

~ $ Wget http://download.sopcast.cn/download/sp-auth.tgz

If the connection fails, add the proxy parameter temporarily:

Export http_proxy = http: // localhost: 8118/; wget http://download.sopcast.cn/download/sp-auth.tgz

The above export http_proxy =... is my proxy, You need to replace it with your own available http proxy.

Decompress:

~ $ Tar xvf sp-auth.tgz

2. Retrieve the channel list

~ $ Cd sp-auth
~ $ Export http_proxy = http: // localhost: 8118/; wget http://channel.sopcast.com/gchlxml

Note that the http proxy should be replaced with an appropriate available proxy.

3. Find the link parameters of the desired channel.

Use a text editor to open the obtained channel list file gchlxml and find the channel you want to watch, such as Shanghai Sports. Sop ://... Some are what we need.

Sop: // broker1.sopcast.com: 3912/6001

4. Run the sopcast Client

~ $ Sp-SC-auth sop: // broker1.sopcast.com: 3912/6001 5460 8286>/dev/null &

The following two parameters are the port number.

5. Run mplayer and watch TV

~ $ Mplayer http: // localhost: 8286/TV. wmv

Note that the port number is the same as the last parameter used to start the sopcast Client Command.

In fact, you can also create a script to input two parameters, namely, the proxy server and the channel name. The script will automatically find the corresponding channel for playback.
