Hi!

I was unable to open the sop links automatically from chrome or firefox in 
Ubuntu Natty. Reading the following question (where it solves the same problem 
for deluge): 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/44849/how-to-configure-chrome-to-open-magnet-urls
-with-deluge"]http://askubuntu.com/questions/44849/how-to-configure-chrome-to-op
en-magnet-urls-with-deluge I was able to configure sopcast for doing this.

The steps are simple: You have to change the file 
/usr/share/applications/sopcast-player.desktop with the following text:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=SopCast Player
GenericName=Internet Television
Comment=GUI front-end to SopCast
TryExec=sopcast-player
Exec=sopcast-player %U
Icon=sopcast-player
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;AudioVideo;P2P;Video;TV;GTK;
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=video/x-ms-wmv;x-scheme-handler/sop;

Once done, you only have to run "sudo update-desktop-database" and it works.

It would be nice if the changes to sopcast-player.desktop would be included in 
further versions, so that the user doesn't have to change it himself.

Thank you for your fix. I will definently include this in the next release. How 
would you like to be credited in the about section of the app?

I'm just glad it works. No need for credit, as I actually got it from a deluge 
forum where they had the same problem on deluge.

Thanks for mantaining this app!! It's nice having someone working on this so 
that the rest of us can enjoy sopcast on Linux. Keep up the good work!
