Hot To Get Sopcast On Your TV
This tut will show you how to get sopcast streams on your TV using ps3mediaserver(PMS).
It will work for the ps3, xbox 360 and any NMT/popcornhour.
As PMS uses DLNA and has render profiles for the following it should work for these too :-
Sony Bravia 4500/5500, FreeboxHD, Kuro, Philips Aurea TV and Net TV, Realtek (Asus O!Play, Xtreamer, AC Ryan PlayOn!HD, Brite-view CinemaTube), Samsung Wiselink TVs, Streamium, WDTV Live, and XBMC.
On a side note for XBMC users the simplest method is to create a text file, copy and paste this into it
(where 192.168.0.1 is your router IP), rename it to “sopcast.m3u”, place it in XBMC\UserData\playlists, open your sopcast stream on your PC/networked PC, then open the m3u file in XBMC and your done!
PMS is available for Windows, Linux and macOSX but I don’t see a mac version of sopcast on their site so sorry to the mac people.
First things first.
If you don’t have it dl and install sopcast
DL and install PMS. The betas are normally quite stable so grab the latest.
DL chocolateboys pmsencoder plugin and place it in Program Files \PS3 Media Server\plugins
Win7 users may have codec related issues so refer to this guide for codec setup set up (i believe that this is more to do with streaming content from a HDD not web streams but it cant hurt to use this setup anyway)
You will need to add a stream location to PMS next.
To do this locate the install folder (default is C:\Program Files\PS3 Media Server\), then edit the WEB.conf file with a text editor of your choice (I use notepad++). Its up to you where you add the stream as long as you remember where you put it, I chose #internet tvs. Just paste this line where you want it to appear in PMS
while you are in this folder you should also edit the PMS.config file to add pmsencoder to the front of the engines list
Most of the options in PMS are self explanatory and it works straight from the tin, so if you are unsure about what you are doing no need to worry.
By default PMS shares all your HDDs so its up to you if you want to limit this under the "Navagation/Share" tab.
The settings we need are under the "Transcode" tab.
The only thing we need to do here is (on the left hand side) got to “Video Web Streaming Engines), highlight MEncoder Web and then click the blue up arrow until its at the top
You will have to save and restart the HTTP server (buttons at the top) after this
Once these couple of things are done you are ready to go.
Just open the sopcast stream of your choice on your networked PC and then its off to your PS3/NMT/Xbox360 or whatever and select ps3mediaserver from your menu then go to WEB then TVs and select the sopcast entry.
Give it a few seconds and there you are – sopcast on your TV!
The menus obviously differ from system to system but generally for consoles it is the video menu you need to be in and for NMTs and other dedicated streaming devices it should show on your main menu.
PMS is a great little app that can stream your video (SD and HD), music and pictures to a lot of devices so even if you don’t use sopcast its still well worth a look at.
