[ubuntu-uk] Eurovision Song contest internet stream

[Michael Wood]

Hello Again,

So, It's the Eurovision song contest tonight, It's going to be streamed
from http://www.eurovision.tv using a plugin that you can get from here:
http://www.octoshape.com/files/octosetup-linux_i386.bin

run the octosetup-linux_i386.bin file in a terminal via the command:

sh octosetup-linux_i386.bin

Now make sure you have the following packages installed:
ia32-sun-java5-bin libstdc++6 mplayer

Open up your favourite editor and put in it:

JavaExec=/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so
PlayerExec=gmplayer -nocache $url

save this file as setup.cfg inside the octoshape directory.


To run it cd to the directory and type:

./OctoshapeClient -url:EBU.esc07

"EBU.esc07" is the url for eurovision,

output in the terminal should look something like this:
http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/142
