Playing MMS streams within Python

Question

I'm writing a XM desktop application (I plan on releasing the source on github when I'm finished if anyone is interested) Anyway, the one part I know very little about is how to play media within Python (I'm using PyQt for the frontend). Basically, I have a mms:// url that I need to play. I was wondering if there is a library that could accomplish this or something, really I just need someone to point me in the right direction.

I know its possible, because SMplayer (Python implementation of MPlayer that uses Qt) works with MMS, I may have to take a peak at they're source if worse comes to worse.

Answer 1

You can have a look at

1. PyMedia
2. PyGame
3. wxPython

Here is a code snippet of doing a similar thing with wxPython.

All of these can play media files.
