unable to play mms://

[salam]

hi.

i have problems playing this stream: mms://85.248.7.162/EXPRES_HQ
it works well in WMP or winamp5 and also in windows version of VLC (after replacing mms:// with rtsp://)

in linux, no player i've tried can play this. i'm getting a strange 'file not found' error:

Code: Select all

seems to be some kind of shitty MS media format. any chance to get it work for linux?

If I try to play it using rstp://... with VLC under Linux, I get sound but it is garbled. It really looks like the bug - could you report it so that the VLC developers could fix it? MPlayer cannot play it either, so it seems that this cannot be played natively under LInux at the moment (as far as I know there is no other software that could play this and if there was one it would most probably use MPlayer's or VLC's code anyway). You can try wine with one of those windows programs... and, you can write to that radio to offer another, more linux-friendly format for streaming - I always do that by similar occasions and if there is enough people complaining, we often get it.

I think it's not a bug -- it is VLC limitiation of your build. Log is clear :

Code: Select all

[00000268] main access debug: looking for access2 module: 3 candidates

3 access modules suitable for given URL...

Code: Select all

... [00000268] access_realrtsp access debug: rtsp connected

RTSP stream found by VLC...

Code: Select all

[00000268] access_realrtsp access warning: only real/helix rtsp servers supported for now

...but it is not supported. Access module for RTSP fails to process stream...

Code: Select all

[00000268] access_file access warning: 85.248.7.162/EXPRES_HQ: No such file or directory

...and now VLC is trying to open file instead of stream.

Try to set all appropriate options in ./configure script
I think this all troubles caused by your build parameters

In fact, it is not mms but rstp. When playing rstp://85.248.7.162/EXPRES_HQ, VLC connects but the sound is garbled and there are is plenty of warning messages, see below. So it does look as a bug, especially if VLC under Windows plays this correctly. It might be a bug outside of VLC though.

Salam, I have written to the radio and the guys offered me another stream in aacPlus format which can be played by Amarok ( although VLC does not play it again - and again it connects and gives some sound but then it stops... )
So if you are interested, here is the link:
http://85.248.7.162:8000/48.aac
P.S. zatial to nie je oficialne takze ta adresa sa moze pripadne neskor zmenit

[Viper]

does someone have a solution for this mms:// rtsp:// problem?

how it is possible to open a stream of a windows media 2003 server?
mms://ip/name wroks fine for winamp, WinMediaPlayer but not on vlc :/
replacing mms:// with rtsp:// -> "VLC connects but the sound is garbled and there are is plenty of warning messages"

any solutions?
