I created this thread ages ago and took you through a method of opening up sop:// links from firefox. I use a different method now, so I thought I'd share it with anyone who gives a stem.
So wtf is sopcast? It's a media streaming tool that is used commonly for live sports. If you're like me and have abandoned your local cable company, here's an easy way to keep up with your favorite team, wherever you are in the world.
First, you need to install a sopcast client. Ubuntu have a sopcast client and gui in their package manager, and sopcast and guis for sopcast used to exist in portage, but they don't anymore. No idea why, maybe lack of interest?
