Why Can't I Play This MMS Stream?

Postby Espionage724 » 14 Nov 2012 15:16

mms://61.172.249.113/jptv24vod/TBS01_20121114_2200.asf

The file definetly seems to exist on the server, but VLC (and WMP) seem unable to access it. Files on this server were accessible in the past also without too much issue. Is the server blocking out the request possibly? Anything I can do to fix it?

I'm also using VLC 2.0.4 x64 on Windows 7 SP1 x64.

Here is the raw pastebin of what my debug log says also (tried posting it here, but it said max number of URLs allowed is 4): http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=YcJXQq5v

access_mms error: error while asking for file -1

This seems to be the issue.

Video files on that server appear to work and not work at times it seems (was working about an hour ago, not working now). I assume it's server-related though

It works for me with both VLC and WMP but it doesn't work through HTTP, the regular port 1755 must be used so make sure nothing is blocking its access.

Bump

http://61.172.249.113:8080/jptv24vod/TBS01.xml gives a baseUrl (in this case, mms://61.172.249.113/jptv24vod/ is given) and it also lists all available files on the server. TBS01_20131216_1000.asf is the name of a file, so with that in mind, this is the full URL to the media: mms://61.172.249.113/jptv24vod/TBS01_20131216_1000.asf

A java file made specifically for use on that server can grab the files listed without problem. VLC (and WMP) on the other hand seems to either work or not work at random times, but I can't really think of any reason why (would figure it to either work all the time or not at all).
