[FFmpeg-devel] mms:// protocol support

[Alex Beregszaszi]

Hi,

> libavcodec supports the data fetched from the mms url, but I could not get libavformat to retrieve the data from the mms-protocl url.
> -- I'd used: av_open_input_file(&ic, mms_url_string, NULL, 0, NULL);
> 
> I've smashed libmms (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmms) into my local copy of libavformat, and I was wondering whether this is the sort of thing that would be welcomed into ffmpeg.

> 1) Does libavformat already support "mms://" and I simply failed to "./configure" it correctly or something?

No.

> 2) If it does not, would the integration of libmms into libavcodec be welcomed?

We like from scratch implementations.  Have a look at MPlayer's MMS
implementation too.
