Totem Sopcast & PPstream plugin

U8UNTU's call for TOTEM plugins is bearing fruit:


1. Add one of  following ppa


PPA for lucid


deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/ppa/ubuntu lucid main

PPA for karmic


deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/cnav/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/cnav/ubuntu karmic main

2. Install totem-pps & totem-sopcast


sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 27F5B2C1B3EAC8D9
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install totem-pps totem-sopcast

3. Launch Totem/Movie Player


Edit > Plugins > click on Sopcast Plugin.

4. Change View


F9 or Sidebar under View menu.

You will see various options. Choose Sopcast or PPstream

The configuration options for the plugins don't appear to give any options on choosing the menu for the Sopcast or PPStreams.

Would be nice if there was a way of choosing. An Icecast-like directory would be a lot better than a bunch of Chinese characters, but I did manage to get a nice "fliek" about some ancient Chinaman, last night, with Manderin subtitles.
