Can you run TV-Maxe from console, reproduce the bug and tell us the output?

It seems that you don't have SopCast installed. Could you tell me the output of 
the following commands:

sp-sc-auth
sp-sc

...uh weird, as stated above I do have SopCast installed; 

ubuntu@Asus-Eee-PC:~$ sp-sc-auth
sp-sc-auth: command not found
ubuntu@Asus-Eee-PC:~$ sp-sc
SC Version: 3.2.6  Build time: 2009-11-09 15:09
Usage:
./sp-sc [-TpI] [-b ipaddr] [-u username:password] [-n out:total] <sop://url> 
<localport> <playerport>
ubuntu@Asus-Eee-PC:~$

Yes, it's installed, but it's executable is found as sp-sc. Do this (as root) 
to fix your problem:

ln /usr/bin/sp-sc /usr/bin/sp-sc-auth

Also this bug is solved in the future 0.0.6, so this kind of workarounds will 
not be needed anymore.

...geez, the output should have told me. What puzzles me is why it worked 
before... Anyways creating the symlink solved the problem!

Appreciate the swift replies, thank you very much!

Looking fwd to the 0.0.6 version.
