LibMMS library for parsing Microsoft Media Streaming protocol What is LibMMS? =============== LibMMS is common library for parsing mms:// and mmsh:// type network streams. These are commonly used to stream Windows Media Video content over the web. LibMMS itself is only for receiving MMS stream, it doesn't handle sending at all. If you need streaming functionality, look for other protocol, such as RT(S)P. MMS is legacy thing, being closed with no specs and abandoned even by its creator, the Microsoft Corp. Why LibMMS? =========== LibMMS was created out of need for common library that would remedy current situation where each Free Software project maintains its own implementation of MMS protocol handling, creating unnecessary code and effort duplication and introducing feature disparity as not every bugfix gets into each of them. It also addresses need for LGPL licensed code for that task, as every current implementation is licensed as GPL, thus knocking out many projects that do not use GPL themselves. Howto LibMMS? ============= LibMMS is intended to be small and simple, being useful for any project that needs MMS handling functionality. It is constructed in such a way that allows plugging custom I/O implementation, thus being easy to integrate with custom framework, and providing a way to add timeouted or cancelable I/O etc. Hmm, you said no specs? How so? =============================== LibMMS code is based on amazing work done by SDP guys (http://get.to/sdp) Without the specs they've reverse-engineered, there won't be any free implementation of MMS handling today. How is LibMMS licensed? ======================= LibMMS is Free Software, licensed under GNU Library General Public License. Original code comes from Xine project (http://xine.sf.net), and it got separated for number of reasons, one of them being desire to provide non GPL projects with library they could use. There's a number of valuable LGPL projects locked out by GPL libraries, besides we strongly feel that GPL is bad license for a library, as it's not library thing to mess with its users licensing by vague interpretations of wether linking makes binary derived work. We want libraries to be used, and for that, we need to stay clean.
