Here is a guide to insal the SopCast player on Ubuntu 13.04. In my previous post about installing SopCast on Ubuntu 12.10 there is a PPA you can use to install SopCast. But at this moment there is no PPA available to install SopCast on Ubuntu 13.04 so you need to download and install the packages yourself.
Optional:
Install the Medibuntu repository and the Ubuntu restricted extras. if you already installed them you can skip this step. To install the Medibuntu repository and the restricted extras open a terminal wind (press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy+paste the following lines:
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --yes -q --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
To isntall the sp-auth package and SopCast:
First download and install the sp-auth package for your system (32bit or 64bit).
Download sp-auth for 32 bit systems
Download sp-auth for 64 bit systems
When the sp-auth package is downloaded you can install the package (and fix the dependencies) using the terminal window. To install the package open a terminal window (press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy+paste the following lines:
cd ~/Downloads/
sudo dpkg -i sp-auth_3.2.6~ppa1~precise3_*.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
After installing the sp-auth package you need to download the SopCast player.
Download SopCast-player for 32 bit systems
Download SopCast-player for 64 bit systems
When downloaded you can install the player and fix it’s dependencies using the following command lines:
sudo dpkg -i sopcast-player_0.8.5~ppa~precise1_*.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
When installed close the terminal window and to start SopCast click on the Dash Home button and search for: sopcast
thx! it works!
Great work! Thank you very much!
You are welcome!!
Thank You! Works fine!
No problem, i will check to see if the PPA for SopCast is available and make a new guide for an easier install.
I got the following when attempting to install sopcast:
~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i sopcast-player_0.8.5~ppa~precise1_*.debSelecting previously unselected package sopcast-player.

Any ideas?
Thanks
You need to install the sp-auth package before installing sopcast player. If i understand correct you are using 64 bit and you need to download the 64bit version of sp-auth.

hello,
I had to install additional packets in order to be able to install sopcast.
I launched the following command before the sopcast install:
sudo apt-get install libvlc-dev python-glade2
after that, sopcast installed.
Thanks for the post
Thanks for the info, i will install sopcast on my test system and if the packages are needed i will add them to the article.
