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:

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