It works for MPlayer, both on Windows and on Linux:
mplayer -dumpstream mms://url.of.file.com/movie
You get a file called stream.dump, which name you need to change according to its actual suffix. So we get the file type using "file"
file stream.dump
And then renaming it accordingly.

A long support window, an enterprise environment, and yes, a very low rate of changes within the life cycle of the operating system makes it a very good candidate to hold services I do not want to fuss around, correcting configuration files on update or…
Problem: Two Linux servers (RHEL4) running NFS Server in High-Availability (failover) mode. When failovering the resources, an NFS client can continue to work. When failing back, the NFS client times-out for 5+ minutes. Further problem information: While using RHEL3, that same (exact) configuration worked flawlessly. Solution: set NFS options to UDP instead of TCP. Explanation:…
Linux LVM is a wonderful thing. It is scalable, flexible, and truly, almost enterprise-class in every details. It lacks, of course, at IO performance for LVM snapshots, but this can be worked-around in several creative ways (if I haven’t shown here before, I will sometime). What it can’t do is dealing with a mixture of…
I’ve been to our own little “August Penguin” just few days ago, and it wasn’t too good. I avoided the lectures (who needs secure rsync?!?), but sat and talked with friends about all kinda stuff. One of the advantages of such an event is that you get to meet lots of your linux-related friends, and…
I have had some work done lately with NetApp SnapMirror. I have snapped-mirrored some volumes and qtrees and I wanted to monitor their use and behavior over the line. As you can expect, site-to-site replication of data is a fragile thing, especially when done on the level of the storage device, which is agnostic to…
