SopCast Player is designed to be an easy to use Linux GUI front-end for the p2p streaming technology developed by SopCast. SopCast Player features an integrated video player, a channel guide, and bookmarks. Once SopCast Player is installed it simply “just works” with no required configuration.
Install opcast player in Ubuntu 9.10
Use the following command to add the sopcast player PPA
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jason-scheunemann/ppa
Update the source list using the following command
sudo apt-get update
First you need to install sp-auth .deb package so download from here
wget http://sopcast-player.googlecode.com/files/sp-auth_3.0.1_i386.deb
Install .deb package
sudo dpkg -i sp-auth_3.0.1_i386.deb
Install sopcast player using the following command
sudo apt-get install sopcast-player
or click on the following link to install
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sopcast-player: Depends: sp-auth (>= 3.0.1) but it is not installable
missing package may be found here:

Got the same “sopcast-player: Depends: sp-auth (>= 3.0.1) but it is not installable” :-/
@Jonas
download sp-auth package
For i386 users
wget http://sopcast-player.googlecode.com/files/sp-auth_3.0.1_i386.deb
For amd64 users
http://sopcast-player.googlecode.com/files/sp-auth_3.0.1_amd64.deb
Install this package
sudo dpkg -i sp-auth_3.0.1_i386.deb
Unless something has changed since I did this (last night!) You will also need to download libstdc++5 (version 6 is in Karmic) BEFORE you install the sp-auth deb. I got a copy from http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libstdc++5/download which installed fine.
Thank you sheepeatingtaz,
As you said sp-auth has dependencies not in the karmic repositories, but you can download a *.deb over at debian.org
Does anyone know if having version 5 and 6 both installed will cause any conflicts?
I really like your blog, but sometimes I don’t know why do you think the default architecture is i386. One of the most advantages of linux (over Microsoft Windows) is that the 64bit edition works fine and we have to encourage people to use 64bit edition.
As sheepeatingtaz says you need libstdc++5.
The Jaunty version also works very well.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libstdc++5/download
I have installed the libstdc++5, sp-auth and sopcast player all in that order for 64 bit Karmic.
When I run from the terminal I am still getting the error message :
sp-sc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Can anyone help, it worked fine under Jaunty.
Here you can find instructions to install sopcast-player from repository on Ubuntu Karmic Koala.
There is sopcast-player with integrated libstdc+5.
Sopcast player and sp-auth are compiled for 32 and 64 bit.

@shanksy: you need to copy the 32bit version of libstdc++.so.5 into /usr/lib32
then sopcast just works under 64bit Karmic
If you have any unmet dependencies trying to install libstdc++5 with Karmic try running:
sudo apt-get install -f
That worked for me.
Big Thanks to the OP and sheepeatingtaz. Great work guys.
