Hello,

I'm using Sopcast on my PC to stream a live soccermatch in Windows Media Player. Is there any way to stream the match to my iPad?

I Google'd it and found a tutorial on how to stream sopcast to iPad using Orblive, but this doesn't work...

The iPad does not support Microsoft's proprietary Windows Media Video format. In fact, Windows Media is exclusive to Microsoft Windows for all version above Windows Media 9. SopCast supports MPEG standard H.264. Your iPad can play H.264 all day long. Convert your proprietary WMV media to H.264. Problem solved.
