Rewrite URL for VLC?

Postby SteelRat » 26 Nov 2004 17:33

Hi,

How do I play this URL in VLC?
http://213.132.119.13:7144/pls/565ADD71 ... 4A18C197B1

The URL is using ActiveX code, and I wonder how I can rewrite the url so that I can play it in VLC instead of WMP.

Thanks!
SteelRat

simple: the url points to a asx file containing this:
<ASX Version="3.0">
<ENTRY>
<REF href = "http://213.132.119.13:7144/stream/565AD ... C197B1.wmv" />
</ENTRY>
</ASX>
here it is obvious what the meaningful url is (and vlc will parse that all by itself. This isn't a http stream though, but a stream of a type called mmsh in vlc.

so adding
mmsh://213.132.119.13:7144/stream/565ADD7146F51C2AAF7AC54A18C197B1.wmv
should fix your problems. Video is wmv3 btw, so will only work on windows.
