Yes, there is a version of SopCast for Mac OS X and it can be downloaded from the official website.


The latest version is 1.6.4 and it's compatible with Yosemite, that means you can install it on Mac OS X 10.6 and up.


If you have problems with the latest version, pick the previous one. It might not have compatibility with Yosemite, but it will work without bugs.

You will need the help of Notepad++ in order to edit the channels. Once you have installed the application, access the path below and open the chlist_live.txt file. Use a channel information from the file and then modify yours accordingly. Once you are done modifying, close the file and restart SopCast. The new channel will be seen in the channels list.
