VLC is unable to open the MRL 'mms:// ...

Postby langjjj » 03 Aug 2013 20:49

Hi, I cannot open the following "mms" stream. I am just a user of VLC and not technical. The stream plays in "Windows Media Player" without a problem.

The url is: [url]mms://91.109.4.193/spiritword?WMThinning=0&WMCache=1&WMReconnect=-1[/url]

VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower

The error message I receive is:
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'mms://91.109.4.193/spiritword?WMThinning=0&WMCache=1&WMReconnect=-1'. Check the log for details.

Thanks for your help

I can't connect to this stream, even with WMP, but maybe it's geo'locked.

Anyway, some Windows Media streams are using a script with an intro and then the 'real' live stream and VLC can't manage such Windows Media scripts.
