About:
Mmsrip is a command-line client designed specifically for handling the MMS:// (Microsoft Media Server) protocol. It enables users to stream and download multimedia content directly from MMS sources, effectively preserving legacy media access capabilities. This tool is essential for retrieving content from older streaming infrastructures that are no longer supported by modern browsers.
Key Features:
  • Direct MMS protocol support
  • Command-line interface for automation
  • Stream recording and downloading
  • Lightweight and dependency-free
Use Cases:
  • Downloading legacy video/audio streams from old media servers
  • Archiving broadcast content from MMS sources
  • Automating media retrieval in scripts
Alternatives:
  • mplayer – Mplayer can play MMS streams but mmsrip is dedicated to downloading/ripping
  • ffmpeg – FFmpeg supports MMS via libmms but mmsrip is a specialized single-purpose tool
