Sopcast in linux

Love watching sports? But cant get working on linux??
Here is what I found.

1. Download sopcast for linux from http://code.google.com/p/sopcast-player/.
(No need to download player. Just the source i.e. sp-auth is enough)

2. Create a small script ('~/sop' in my case) as follows :

#!/bin/sh
while [ 1 ]
do
sp-sc $1 3908 8908 > /dev/null &
mplayer http://localhost:8908/tv.asf
done
pkill sp-sc


(while loop because mplayer doesn't start the stream in first attempt.)

3. Search the forums like http://myp2p.eu/index.php?part=sports for your favourite channel and get the sopcast link which will look like sop://broker1.sopcast.com:3912/10912

4.

./sop sop://broker1.sopcast.com:3912/10912


then sit back and enjoy!!!
