New versions of SopCast now let you choose what external media player to open streams with. SopCast streams work perfectly with VLC, MediaPlayer Classic, KMPlayer, WinAMP, and many other players.

How do I make SopCast open streams into VLC by default
Go to the SopCast options, and you should see the text "Choose the external player".

Below that you can either select the default option, which will use a system default player (in most cases it is Windows Media Player). And you can select "Use my own media player". After selecting the latter option, click the "Select" button and locate the EXE file for the media player that you want to use. vlc.exe is usually located in the following folder: "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\".
