    SopCast channel 2240 has been down again. So SopCast is kind of useless again :(

    Anyway, there is now this TVB Xing He channel which is currently working. During series, the left channel is Mandarin and the right one is Cantonese.

    First of all, Happy New Year fellow TVB Streamers! I just updated the TVB HD and TVB Xing He URLs for Sopcast, the rest is sadly still dead.

    Remember people, if you have other links/methods for TVB, please share them with your fellow PAers.


    StreamTorrent doesn't ask for a username/password AFAIK. Anyway, use the SEARCH button to find other TVB channels.

    It was down for a while, but it is up and running again as mentioned by 1994pas. Yes, this is being broadcast LIVE, so you will see the series at the same time they are broadcasted in HK.

    Please put full URLs in a HIDE section, this info should be for members only. Bedankt!

    Btw 1994pas, you deserve a medal ... lol. 1st post ever and you did put it in a HIDE section.

    I think all links outside hidden section should be deleted.

    Thank you very much, Phantoman! The Jade HD is working very well! I tried to find out the other links but it was useless...

    Yep, they seem to have stopped messing with the source too. Before you'd get abrupt ad cuttings like the channel was being outsourced to another region with mandarin/canto ads.

    edit: As it goes out of sync at times you can adjust the sync by opening the stream in vlc.

    Just play the stream in pplive as usual (might wanna mute it) then open vlc and 'open network stream' -> drop down to 'http' and address: 127.0.0.1:8888

    Go to 'tools' -> 'track synchronization' and in the 'synchronization' tab adjust the 'advance of audio over video' value. If the audio lags behind the video, use negative values and vice versa. Right now it's lagging and -2.000 seems to work nicely.

    It'll play a few seconds behind the pplive player as it's playing from the beginning of the what's been buffered.

    Hope that helps :)

    1. Download and install Autohotkey.
    2. Open notepad and copy+paste the following:

    HTML:
    WinWait, Program Manager, FolderView
    IfWinNotActive, Program Manager, FolderView, WinActivate, Program Manager, FolderView
    WinWaitActive, Program Manager, FolderView
    Send, {CTRLDOWN}{ESC}{CTRLUP}
    WinWait, Start menu, All Programs
    IfWinNotActive, Start menu, All Programs, WinActivate, Start menu, All Programs
    WinWaitActive, Start menu, All Programs
    Send, pplive{ENTER}
    WinWait, PPLive, CPPFrameWnd
    IfWinNotActive, PPLive, CPPFrameWnd, WinActivate, PPLive, CPPFrameWnd
    WinWaitActive, PPLive, CPPFrameWnd
    Send, {CTRLDOWN}u{CTRLUP}
    WinWait, PPLive, 
    IfWinNotActive, PPLive, , WinActivate, PPLive, 
    WinWaitActive, PPLive, 
    Send, synacast{SHIFTDOWN};{SHIFTUP}//scSpmqaWopbP0dfT3tXYpvGc0tKdnqqZ0Z3Rn6bKnaSfn9uSqaadyqOVoKTOoavK1qGhndviltPVzbOcoaedj{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}TG3dWpvcynZFQgTUINqqKcnqigxMauJLggsSu7o6eVoqintd/b1aqdmamYltzb0LOWnqGamqSWqqimoZzQ363hzebZqp{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}bn6eToaWhl66ToqemoaaVoKvhzebZqp{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}bn6eToaWhl66ToqOmoaaVoKvhzebZqp{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}bm6iVnqGinqSWpJ6eoLCdoKCcpOvJ4OSmmKWXoqGam6aZnqKgmqSdoaqkmaaVq{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}XQ2eqfn5{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}emq6TpqGan6SWpaSmoaaVoKvhzebZqp{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}bm6aXnqGdm6SXoJ6dmaqfqKCcmbHZ0{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}Dgo6WUpqGamquanqiam66fqKCkmbHZ0{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}Dgo6WUoqCel6eWop6emaSWoKWmoaadoJbFzuLR3{SHIFTDOWN}={SHIFTUP}e8yt3KudSpmqialuDgpqaLs9HgyuLU17nQpq2c{ENTER}
    
    3. Make sure to save as an .ahk extension
    4. Run the script from desktop. It should automatically loadup pplive, paste the link and start playing.

    Hey sl0909, Thanks for your response! When I start the script, it seems to only open the start menu.

    You probably have a codec problem then. The FAQ tab in SopCast mentions the following:

    You can try another player by changing the settings in Options.

    'low_enduser' explained this a bit here, but I didn't have a chance to test it back then. I just tested the following approach which worked for me:

    1. In your Windows Explorer or Desktop, right-click and select New -> Shortcut.
    2. Copy/paste the PPLive URL as the location of the shortcut.
    3. Provide a name for the shortcut.
    4. Click on the shortcut to open the channel in PPLive.

    Note: This also works for SopCast URLs.

    A bit more simple than sl0909's method :) At least I learned about Autohotkey though, so thanks!

    Thanks for your shortcut trick :D Somehow I always get codec problems >.> I've just installed the newest K-lite codec pack, but that didn't help :S
