hi guilds and welcome to FSI
yes its quite easy to fix
1 open sopcast (click desktop icon)
2 loginto player by selecting the top option(if not already selected) and click the large button at bottom
3 at the botom of the player you will see a blue box next to the red one click the blue one
4 in the drop down menu select english and click middle buton bottom of box
and thats it set to english for you

Hello, Im new to this but have found the site to be a revolution. (Many Thanks to those that make ity happen.

I have installed TVU Player which works perfectly
I have installed TV ants which works most of the time (although sometimes doesnt get past the buffering stage) but im happy enough with it.

Its Sopcast that im having problems with. When i click on the FSI link to sopcast. Sopcast opens but does not connect to any stream. If i then select the channel tab and choose a channel it works, but quite often i cant find the channel in the list. Have i missed a trick or something.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks

Thanks for the advise, I tried opening sopcast ,clicking the link twise but it still doesnt work. All that happens is that sopcast refreshes but still doesnt connect to anything.

Is there anything else i could try?

Many Thanks

im not sure about this but does using firefox or IE make a difference??
anyone know?

**mark hillman** · #8 04-11-2007, 03:57 PM

I have Vista and use internet explorer. Is it worth me installing firefox?

If you are trying to connect to true sport try the second sopcast link that is working first is offline try that

**mark hillman** · #10 04-11-2007, 04:11 PM

I tried all the links but each one does nothing except open Sopcast. Do you know why the channel doesnt appear with all the other sports channels in the channel tab?

Many Thanks

hi mark
its vista thats the problem , on your desktop icon of sopcast right click and select run as administrator also if you gert a pop up for authorisation for sopcast accept
click the link once allow sopcast to open give sopcastexe clearance if requested click link again and channel should start to load allow up to a few minutes with some streams to fully load

Simple, as far as i know opera wont work with the web player as its IE or earlier version of Firefox only.

Doubt it, unless opera has an active X plug-in.

Opera does not have in-built support for Microsoft's Windows-specific ActiveX technology or the VBScript scripting language.

I really like Opera seems alot quicker than IE and less of them annoying pop up ads but I'm really going off it now with all the problems I've had with plugins and active bloody X!

Maybe thats why only 0.9% of users on this site use it.

I'm happy with Firefox with the about:config changes, pre-loader and the 'turn the page into an IE page' button for IE only links.

I gave Opera a quick go, but I'm probably from the 'I know what I like, and I like what I bloody-well know' school of thought.

I use Gran Paradiso v3.0a8 (firefox 3). Apart from slow loading time and being a bit buggy, its 'snappy'.
