I think I ran across the best selection of players for streaming TV.

Sopcast 1.0.1 and TVU 2.2 are both available for download there, plus some
others.

go to: http://www.asiaplate.com/live.today.htm

Might not hurt to have 3 or 4 incase you have to switch up in the future for an event.
 
Sopcast is the NUTS. I have all the players and THANKS to whoever posted about Sopcast. This one is just like watching TV in the small window and not unreasonable in full screen mode. I fell asleep watching Wu/Holtz and when I woke up six hours later Sopcast was still connected and still going strong. The audio isn't great but no problem either. I hope it's as nice come finals time!!

I hope so too, but mine worked just fine, then the next day when I opened it I keep getting a 'sopcast.ocx' file error which won't go away. I redownloaded, installed, and it still says the same error, and closes it out.
I love the picture with Sopcast, but the sound sucks, too tinny. TVU has better sound, but they are always correcting the picture from the less than perfect connection, and then it just can't recover, and you have to exit and then go into it again.

it goes to sopcast's site.

When I clicked to download it, it brought an ad window, close that out, and go back to original 'Asiaplate' window. It has 2 places to download, for a medium speed and for a high speed cable connection. I have a medium cable speed, so I redownloaded with it, and walaah, it fixed my problem I had with Sopcast, so evidently the speed on the download off the original Sopcast website was incompatible with my connection speed.

I love the 'complete' full screen on Sopcast, but that 'broken speaker' sound has to be fixed.
 
a quick note on the streaming players...i don't know when stuff's on.

how about a thread listing pool to watch live?

That file could be corrupted, overwritten by other program (remember, tvu
program was forked from sopcast :) ), or probably just a component error
(usually happening on audio/video softwares conflicting on sound devices,
codecs, and such. poor coding). We will never know.
I'm not on Windows but here are some suggestions:

You might try to remove (purge) all files related to Sopcast.
Uninstalling programs in Windows won't be sufficient in most cases. It just
leave a lot of debris files scattered all over the system. Some installers won't
even prompt for an overwrite, so you could have been using that same old
OCX file no matter how many times you reinstall it.

Take note of the sopcast.exe's modification date/time then use Window's Find
to locate all the other components related to that program, that is, they have
the same modified date/time as the main executable program 'sopcast.exe'
But I would not recommend this, you could mistakenly remove other files,
and even system data.

You might also look for some user profiles that most programs would create
for a particular user, if there are any. Usually found in c:\my documents

Run a registry cleaner(twice,thrice, just to be sure), then reboot the machine.

Install the player again and see how it goes.

I also downloaded the Sopcast version that is "the last stable one". It works nearly flawlessly. I really think it's a lot of luck based on your computer and conenctions asto which one works best. Last year I watched the WPC finals on TVU with no problems. This year it's very iffy on TVU for me.
 
Guys, thanks to all of you for this thread. Not only have I now got coverage of the WPC that doesn't break down every 5 minutes (via Sopcast) but also access to live cricket!!!

As a cricket-loving Englishman who has been unable to watch any games in the 4 years I've lived in Texas I am over the moon!!!!! Totally pleased tonight.

In fact, I think rep points for all are in order. Thanks again guys.

Ade.
 
Help

Has anyone else experienced this?

I can't download Soapcast because it does nothing once I log in as "anonymous."

I can't watch TVU because I press play and all I see is their big fat logo on the screen.

Also, does anyone know when the final will be EST?

Thanks a lot.
