About:
Libmms is a C library designed for parsing and handling MMS (Microsoft Media Server) and MMSH (HTTP tunneled) network stream protocols. It provides a robust API for developers to integrate MMS streaming capabilities into multimedia applications. This enables reliable access to audio and video content from sources that utilize these proprietary streaming protocols.

Key Features:

Supports both mms:// and mmsh:// protocols
Lightweight C library for easy integration
Handles stream parsing and data retrieval
Open source and cross-platform compatible

Use Cases:

Integrating MMS streaming support into custom media players
Developing applications that need to access legacy or specific broadcast streams
Building multimedia tools that require robust protocol handling for Windows Media streams

Alternatives:

FFmpeg – A comprehensive multimedia framework that includes MMS support but is significantly larger and more complex than libmms.
