Sopcast users may find this of use, idk if worth creating an aur4 pkg.

If you have problems with installation of this package, please change source from http://sopcast-player.googlecode.com/files/sopcast-player-0.8.5.tar.gz to https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/sopcast-player/sopcast-player-0.8.5.tar.gz and everything should work fine.

Hello All,

I am the project creator of SopCast Player. Thank you to ReNoM for creating an AUR package for my project. I wanted to let you know I moved my repository off Google Code and on to GitHub. The address is https://github.com/sopcast-player/sopcast-player. I created a release for SopCast 0.8.5 in the repo. Thank you to all the SopCast Player users, I hope you have enjoyed the player.

Best Regards,
Jason

Version 0.8.5 is out.
Since simply changing version won't compile anymore, I prepared a PKGBUILD that does.

pkgname=sopcast-player
pkgver=0.8.5

build() {
cd $srcdir/$pkgname

# Python2 fix

# Build
make
make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install
}

Can't run this:

/usr/bin/sopcast-player: line 2: 14682 Segmentation fault /usr/bin/python2 /usr/share/sopcast-player/lib/sopcast-player.py $@

@tridc
The error is instance=vlc.Instance() in file /usr/share/sopcast-player/lib/VLCWidget.py
Could you change instance=vlc.Instance() -> instance = vlc_1_1_x.Instance() in file /usr/share/sopcast-player/lib/VLCWidget.py and see if it works?
You could also try to add '!libtool' to the options line in PKGBUILD.

I'm using lastest updates, vlc 1.1.9

@ tridc
Try with a vlc>=1.1.5
