If you are experiencing playback issues, make sure your firewall or security software is not blocking ports that Sopcast requires to stream contents to your PC.This can be especially helpful if playback is not smooth or if you cannot really open any channel that is offered by the application. Make sure you have the latest version of Sopcast installed.Just open the settings and select a different media player for the streams. You can use a different media player if you do not want Windows Media Player to be used by the application.Most let you do so with a single-click on the link. I suggest you search on the Internet for "Sopcast channels" to find websites that lists channels that you can tune in as well. Not all available channels are displayed in the channel browser.If the count drops, you may experience freezes and drops. 100 means that the stream is fully buffered which is a good sign that you won't run into any buffering issues. The green number in the player window indicates the buffering status.That is normal however and should resolve automatically afterwards. You may also notice small interruptions during the first minute of playback.
It usually takes a couple of seconds to load before the channel stream appears in the media player window.
