SopCast Player won't run after install

Question

I just followed the step-by-step sopcast install instructions at http://mauriziosiagri.wordpress.com/tag/sopcast/. Which, even with a few typos in the instructions I believe I followed correctly, but when I try to run sopcast-player it won't start. In the console I get the following:

Did you install `vlc`? It doesn't say that in the instructions, but what I gather is that you need to have `vlc` installed. — Jos, Oct 10 '15 at 15:01
I did not have VLC installed. That seems to have solved it, thanks! — Mark, Oct 10 '15 at 15:40

I just installed VLC as suggested by @Jos running sudo apt-get install vlc, re-run sopcast-player and it worked
