Hi there,

I've been trying to play MMS streams with VLC but with no success. I always a couple of errors like these:
access_mms access error: TCP protocol selection failed
access_mms access error: UDP protocol selection failed
access_mms access error: cannot connect to server
access_mms access error: cannot read data 2
asf stream error: vlc_iconv_open failed
asf stream warning: cannot find file properties object
asf demux warning: ASF plugin discarded (not a valid file)
ps demux warning: this does not look like an MPEG PS stream, continuing anyway
[...]

Any idea? Try with this stream URL: mms://195.245.168.21/antena3

Thanks

An update to this problem.
I've transcoded one video with:

vlc -vvv /home/rcs/video2.flv --sout '#std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:8080}'

and, on the same machine, i've tried to see the transcoded video:

vlc mmsh://127.0.0.1:8080

With this test I have got the same kind of errors and I still have no sound, but I have image. So, this is a problem with the sound.

Any ideia?

Another update, I got sound. I can only have sound if I open the streams with mmsh instead of mms.
The problem is that not all mms streams can be opened with mmsh.

Any idea?
Can anybody help?
