Replacing SopCast Media Player
1. Open SopCast and log in to the service. After the program opens to the main screen, click the "Option" button at the bottom of the main window. Under "Choose the external player," click the button beside "Use my own media player" and then click "Select." Use the file browser to locate the program file for VLC Media Player (usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe", though on Windows XP the folder will just be "Program Files"). Click "OK" to accept your changes and close the Options window.
2. Exit SopCast and then open it again. Log in again and then open a channel to watch, either from the list of from a website with a "sop://" address.
3. Wait for the channel to buffer to its maximum. By default, SopCast launches the default player in its small form beside the channel list. Click on the leftmost button on the media player window (the two windows on top of one another) to launch the external player. SopCast opens VLC -- which you chose in Step 2 -- and loads the stream automatically.
Stream in VLC Via SopCast
1. Perform Steps 1 on section 1.
2. Launch VLC separately if you want to control the stream using VLC. Click on "Media" and then "Open Network Stream."
3. Click "Show more options" if you want to control the bandwidth dedicated to the stream or to tie a different audio file to the video.

Follow these to set up vlc media player as the default sopcast media:

Make sure to have the latest Sopcast
- Open Sopcast, and go to Options (at the bottom > Option)
- Choose the external player
- Use my Own Media Player
- Select there VLC.exe (tip: search for VLC on your pc > in the folder/map there you can select the VLC icon)
- Standard is C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
Accept this, and restart Sopcast. Yet you can easy open it in the external VLC player. Start a channel, wait untill it has buffered > 30%.
