Bug#221806: ITP: mmsclient -- mms streaming media download utility
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : mmsclient
Version : 0.0.3
Upstream Author : "Major MMS" (http://www.geocities.com/majormms/)
* URL : http://www.geocities.com/majormms/
* License : GPL
Description : mms streaming media download utility
mmsclient is a simple client to download streaming audio and/or video media
from the internet using the MMS protocol. Downloaded streams can then be
replayed offline at your leisure, using any compatible media player of your
choice (not included).
NOTES:
Most media streamed with MMS is in Microsoft media format, so some non-free
codecs or players may be required to actually play back some downloaded
streams. This package, however, just understands the MMS protocol and saves
streams for later use; it's not concerned with decoding the actually media.
The upstream author posted his work at the URL given above. However, he or she
does not give an e-mail address or name either on the web site or in the
downloaded package. The source is explicitly marked as being licensed under
the GPL, so I don't believe this is a problem.
I will attempt to track down more info about the upstream author,
but if that is not possible, I will happily take over as the upstream
maintainer as well as doing the packaging. (The package works very well as is,
but is sorely in need of UI updates!)
