Description : client for the mms:// protocol
MMSRIP is a client for the proprietary protocol MMS://.
It saves the content being streamed to a file.
How is this different from mimms?
Description: MMS (e.g. mms://) stream downloader
MiMMS is a program designed to allow you to download
streams using the MMS protocol and save them to your
computer, as opposed to watching them live. Similar
functionality is available in full media player suites
such as Xine and MPlayer, but MiMMS is quick and easy
to use, and for the time being, remains a useful program.
.
Originally, MiMMS was forked directly from the last
known version of mmsclient, which was for years
unmaintained. MiMMS started with the following goals:
.
- Keep a working copy of "mmsclient" (now "MiMMS")
maintained and working.
- Fix lots of the bugs that were in mmsclient
- Eventually extend the functionality of the program
.
With the current 2.x series, MiMMS shares no code with
mmsclient, and actually does all of it's MMS operations
using libmms, a new library based off of the xine-improved
mmsclient code, which is designed to allow multiple
implementations of MMS clients without requiring a fragmented
code base. At this point, MiMMS is freed from the details of
the horrendous MMS protocol, and can focus on usability.
