Anyone can tell me how can i open sop addresses ( like sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/79509). With firefox ?
Ive read many howtos but they are very old and dont work with newer versions of firefox.
I want to launch the sopcast-player directly, as you can open an spotify address in spotify…
Thanks…

You can find rpm for opensuse in hillwood repos obs://build.opensuse.org/home:hillwood ( both sopcast and sopcast-player) and also a totem-plugin-sopcast
I’m not familiar with the sopcast protocol or the players , so I can only go on what I’ve read (today), and my assistance will be minimal. I don’t pretend to understand all of the requirements, but I did try the advice below:
Assuming you have the sopcast-player, then following the file-association instructions here (thanks to user joaomart)

You have to add a sopcast-player.desktop file inside ~/.local/share/applications configured in this manner:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Sopcast Player
Exec=sopcast-player %u
Icon=sopcast.icon
Type=Application
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/sop;
Then, you have to configure mimeapps.list and add the sopcast-player.desktop to your Added Associations. Like this:
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/sop=sopcast-player.desktop;
After I had completed the above steps, I then navigated to the sop:// address you gave, I was able to have firefox (or any other browser) prompt me to launch the sopcast-player application.
I hope this is of help to you.
Thanks finally it worked for me…
