You have two options IMO amplatfus.

1. Access the /var/usm/salix file as root and change the mirror it is set for to a different one.

2.Run the sesm.sh script described here: [INFO & SCRIPT] Slackware Mirror Settings for USM

Either option should work for you.

Thanks. With you help I manage to the next level using option 2.

CATEG: network

VERS : 0.7.2

After activating devel.xzm I managed to create sopcast-player-0.7.2-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz file.

Code: Select all

Slackware package /tmp/sopcast-player-0.7.2-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz created.

I tried to activated, but after open VLC with network stream sop://51.15.195.206:3912/151380 for instance it not worked. Could you please advice with what I should try?

Many thanks,
amplatfus

At this point amplatfus you are beyond my abilities.

Hopefully one of the other members can help you.

sopcast-player is a gui frontend for sopcast..
i guess it does nothing without sopcast..
read here:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2 ... st-player/
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2 ... k/sopcast/
sopcast is only available as 32bit..
we don't seem to have and 32bit compat module any more?
