Sopcast Broadcast of the 2008 NFL Draft on NFL Network (Click Here)

I'm broadcasting it here............ Click Here

You will have to wait for the NFLN event to start. It's not streaming until then.

You can download the Web Player software from the link under the embedded player. Then you should be able to view the player and connect to the stream.

If you have the Sopcast Suite installed, then you won't need the Web Player download. Just click on the play icon.

Enjoy the event guys!!!

BTW. you can expand the player to full screen.

Here is a bump for this thread along with some tech support for those who need it.

Once you have downloaded and installed the player refresh the website, a bar should then pop up at the top of the page asking if you would like to allow ActiveX control, you need to:

- Click on the bar, click 'Allow Blocked Content...' and then 'yes'.

The player should then be displayed in the middle of the screen and automatically connect to the stream when a match is available.

If it still doesn't work make sure your firewall is allowing it to access the internet, Norton AntiVirus and other virus protection software often have a screen that pops up and asks if you would like to allow it access to the internet, you MUST click 'yes' otherwise it will not work. It is also advisable to have the most upto date version of Windows Media Player which can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/


When the player is displayed in the middle of the screen it should automatically connect to the stream, if the player is displayed but it says 'No Peers to Connect...' at the bottom of it, this means the server is full. If it says 'Channel Offline' this means that the station hasnt begun broadcasting the channel.

Depending on the speed of your internet connection and how busy it is you may find it takes longer to buffer at certain times and is quite 'stop-starty', try and connect about half an hour to an hour before to avoid this and if it still does then leave it running, 90% of the time it settles down after a few minutes.

This is more than most of you will need to know, but some may encounter these problems.

BUMP :laugh2:
