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

1Have you managed to find suitable Java MMS library? Maybe you know any relatively fresh library? JavaMMS mentioned in the answer didn't have any update since 2002 ... – Denisigo Jun 17 '15 at 13:57

@Denisigo, no, I haven't been able to find a suitable library for MMS processing since I asked this question. – Douglas Jun 17 '15 at 17:52

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
