Java library to read a Microsoft Media Server (MMS) stream

Hi,

I would like to know if there is available any Java library to read a Microsoft Media Server (MMS) stream.

Thanks,

Douglas

• A google search reveals:

  • JavaMMS with a one and only "0.5 - Initial release" back in 2002
  • Velocity Reviewers' forum discusses [Java MMS libraries] back in 2004, which leads on to
  • sdp.ppona.com a tool for download mms streams, which has a story:
  • Microsoft have finally released its MMS protocol specification!, Feb 2008
  • [MS-MMSP]: Microsoft Media Server (MMS) Protocol Specification

  It looks like the time is ripe for someone to make a Java MMS library. ;-)

  I've had good experience using the mplayer to dump MMS streams. With a little fiddling around and finding the right command line options. all-streaming-media.com suggests using:

  mplayer.exe -dumpstream mms://somehost.com/somedirectory/somefile.wmv

  Use the -dumpfile option to name the dumped stream:

  mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile somefile.wav mms://somehost.com/somedirectory/somefile.wmv
