Hi,

I would like to know if there is available any Java library to read a Microsoft Media Server (MMS) stream.

Thanks,

Douglas

A google search reveals:

It looks like the time is ripe for someone to make a Java MMS library. ;-)

I've had good experience using the mplayer to dump MMS streams. With a little fiddling around and finding the right command line options. all-streaming-media.com suggests using:

mplayer.exe -dumpstream mms://somehost.com/somedirectory/somefile.wmv

Use the -dumpfile option to name the dumped stream:

mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile somefile.wav mms://somehost.com/somedirectory/somefile.wmv
