Hi,
trevorsem wrote: Finally got around to following your instructions in running SopCast.

When I run SopCast within Internet Television, I get "playback not possible", WMS program crashes and needs to be restarted to bring the server back on-line.

I have the latest release loaded on my PC and have rebooted several times just in case.

Any ideas please?
Sopcast player works ?

Yes, SopCast player works fine.

I followed the script word for word.

Perhaps limited network activity WMS. I have no problem with loading the channel list, and I find it hard to say something to work SopCast filter, in my opinion is very unstable.

Yes, you can replace

Code: Select all

if WmsDirectShowAddSource(InputFileName, 'Source') = S_OK then begin
on

Code: Select all

  if WmsDirectShowLoadFilter('C:\Program Files\P2PFilter\p2pfilter.dll', '{A895A82C-7335-4D6B-A811-82E9E3C4403E}', 'Source', True) = S_OK then begin
    WmsDirectShowSetFileName('Source', InputFileName);  
But, unfortunately, unloading the filter causes an error and the program quits.

I've had WMS running successfully with Sopcast under both Vista and Windows 7 but now I find that the server stops working when I click on 'Test Transcoder' . I think that this started when I upgraded to v 0.73rc1. I've taken the following steps with no success after each step.

1 Uninstalled v 0.73rc1 and reinstalled v 0.72
2 Uninstalled Sopcast & SopFilter and then reinstalled SopFilter.
3 Installed Sopcast.
4 Uninstalled Sopcast & Sopfilter & then installed sopcast first followed by sopfilter.
5 Installed v 0.73rc3
6 Unistalled WMS, sopcast & sopfilter and re-installed sopcast,wms v 0.72 and sopfilter in that order. I did this since this was the original order in which they were installed)

I've had no problems playing channels with Sopcast throughout and WMS works well other than in combination with SopFilter.

Anyone got any ideas what might be wrong or what I might try to correct this problem and get WMS working with SopFilter again ?

Hi !

This is the best DLNA Server.

But, with Sopcast I've a little problem. I've do all steps one for one, but don't work. The Sopcast only work if I open Sopcast, select a channel and connect. The channel list is not working. In the attached file, you can see the status of test transcoding.

Thanks

Typing one or two characters into the text box ( and then deleting them) enables 'paste' on the drop-down context menu so you can paste eugene's code straight into the textbox.
