Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : mmsclient Version : 0.0.3 Upstream Author : "Major MMS" (http://www.geocities.com/majormms/) * URL : http://www.geocities.com/majormms/ * License : GPL Description : mms streaming media download utility
mmsclient is a simple client to download streaming audio and/or video media from the internet using the MMS protocol. Downloaded streams can then be replayed offline at your leisure, using any compatible media player of your choice (not included). NOTES: Most media streamed with MMS is in Microsoft media format, so some non-free codecs or players may be required to actually play back some downloaded streams. This package, however, just understands the MMS protocol and saves streams for later use; it's not concerned with decoding the actually media. The upstream author posted his work at the URL given above. However, he or she does not give an e-mail address or name either on the web site or in the downloaded package. The source is explicitly marked as being licensed under the GPL, so I don't believe this is a problem. I will attempt to track down more info about the upstream author, but if that is not possible, I will happily take over as the upstream maintainer as well as doing the packaging. (The package works very well as is, but is sorely in need of UI updates!) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux saidin 2.4.22-1-686-smp #5 SMP Sat Oct 4 14:35:05 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8
