Besides mplayer, can any other software play mms:// steam ?

[sw2wolf]

Now we can use

 mplayer mms://.....

to play mms stream. But mplayer seems too heavy for such a thing.

Are there any other software to play mms stream ?


Regards!

multimedia/xine does (used to do) it. Also multimedia/vlc might do it as well.

Are you using gmplayer or the command-line mplayer? I wouldn't call the latter heavy.

 

[UNIXgod]

what is the mms protocol for?

intersting. So according to a update back on 2010 on mplayer's site it can use ffmpeg for access.

MPlayer now has the ability to use FFmpeg's network code to access streams. Use % mplayer [url=ffmpeg://rtsp://example.invalid/stream.mov]ffmpeg://rtsp://example.invalid/stream.mov[/url] syntax to try it.
