mmsrip is a program that allows you to save on your hard-disk the content being streamed by an MMS server.
mmsrip is a client for the proprietary protocol MMS://.
It actually saves to a file the content being streamed. Please remember that this is not intended for real use, its existence is only and must only be documentary.
Enhancements:
- This release introduces many improvements and bugfixes such as a workaround for recalcitrant MMS servers, a switch which enables debug output and the display of the ripping speed.
- You may also compile mmsripon Solaris, Cygwin, and Win32 now.

News Streamer provides a script to play the most recent France 2 news report with Mplayer.

The French TV station France 2 has been kind enough to make its news broadcasts available on the Internet. However, this has been done in a way thats not particularly friendly to non-Microsoft products.

This script makes things easier by checking for the availability of the most recent news report and then playing it using Mplayer.

The checking for the availability of an episode is done using a mmsrip.

If its useful to you to watch the news at a different speed, a speed parameter may be passed to this script (eg f2 0.5 to play at half speed)

If the most recent episode is not available, this script will keep searching back until it finds the most recent available episode.

It wont keep searching for ever, however, and gives up after 10 episodes.

To be honest, if it doesnt find anything after 10 episodes it probably means that theres a problem at their end, theyve change their URL format, or youve got some kind of network trouble.
