      Name: libmms
      Version: 0.4
      Revision: 1
      Category: multimedia
      Maintainers: boeyms openmaintainer
      Description: Library for parsing mms:// and mmsh:// network streams
      Long Description: LibMMS is a common library for parsing the legacy mms:// and mmsh:// type network streams, created and now abandoned by Microsoft. These are commonly used to stream Windows Media Video content over the web. LibMMS itself is only for receiving MMS streams, it doesn't handle sending at all. If you need streaming functionality, look at other protocols, such as RT(S)P.
