The MMS protocol is the Microsoft HTTP Streaming
Protocol (MMS over HTTP) and is used by most Internet
radio stations broadcasting in ASF. Only WMA/ASF
streaming is supported with this protocol e.g.:
• "mms://host.com/topten/stream.asf"
Full URL is supported; the file to be played can be on a
remote server running on an arbitrary port e.g.:
• "mms://host.com:12345/topten/stream.asf"
To support authentication, username and password can
be provided e.g.:
• "mms://user1:Px2Wu3@host.com:88/stream.asf"
Notes: There is no "HTTP Proxy server" support for
this protocol.
If the WMA stream is not played you should change the
protocol to "mmst://..." (see description below) to try if
the stream is delivered as MMS over TCP.
The MMST protocol is the Microsoft TCP Streaming
Protocol (MMS over TCP) and is used by some Internet
radio stations broadcasting in ASF.
