Free xboard mms software for linux

XBoard project is a X and Windows graphical chessboard.
XBoard is a graphical chessboard for X that can serve as a user interface for GNU Chess, Crafty, other chess engines, and the Internet Chess Servers.
XBoard can also be used by itself to read and write game files in PGN (portable game notation). WinBoard is a port of XBoard to Microsoft Win32.
You can build xboard on most systems with the following commands.
./configure
make
Enhancements:
- Version 4.2.7 corrects about two dozen bugs in the 4.2.6 release.
- In addition, WinBoard 4.2.7 comes bundled with GNU Chess 5.07 instead of the old 5.02+ version.
- The XBoard and WinBoard source code trees have been merged, so the xboard download now contains the complete source for both.

libmms is a library implementing the MMS streaming protocol, used by most Windows Media streams.
libmms library is used by the GStreamer MMS plugin, but is not tied to GStreamer or any other project.
LibMMS was created out of need for common library that would remedy current situation where each Free Software project maintains its own implementation of MMS protocol handling, creating unnecessary code and effort duplication and introducing feature disparity as not every bugfix gets into each of them.
It also addresses need for LGPL licensed code for that task, as every current implementation is licensed as GPL, thus knocking out many projects that do not use GPL themselves.
LibMMS is intended to be small and simple, being useful for any project that needs MMS handling functionality. It is constructed in such a way that allows plugging custom I/O implementation, thus being easy to integrate with custom framework, and providing a way to add timeouted or cancelable I/O etc.
LibMMS code is based on amazing work done by SDP guys (http://get.to/sdp) Without the specs theyve reverse-engineered, there wont be any free implementation of MMS handling today.
Enhancements:
- fix the recent security vulnerability in libmms. Thanks to Wesley J. Landaker, Martin Pitt and Matthias Hopf.
- Add http proxy functionality. Thanks to Daniel Rogers!

Slibo project is a chess interface and engine for KDE.

Slibo aims to be a comfortable replacement for the xboard chess interface, written for OpenGL and KDE.

It uses the xboard protocol and can be used with common chess engines like crafty or gnuchess, but it provides its own chess engine too.

Though its designed to be easy to use for the new chess player, it supports playing multiple games the same time, or anaylzing PGN files with multiple engines.

MiMMS project is designed to allow you to download streams using the MMS protocol and save them to your computer, as opposed to watching them live. Similar functionality is available in full media player suites such as Xine and MPlayer, but MiMMS is quick and easy to use, and for the time being, remains a useful program.
Originally, MiMMS was forked directly from the last known version of mmsclient, which was for years unmaintained. MiMMS started with the following goals:
- Keep a working copy of "mmsclient" (now "MiMMS") maintained and working.
- Fix lots of the bugs that were in mmsclient
- Eventually extend the functionality of the program
With the current 2.x series, MiMMS shares no code with mmsclient, and actually does all of its MMS operations using libmms, a new library based off of the xine-improved mmsclient code, which is designed to allow multiple implementations of MMS clients without requiring a fragmented code base. At this point, MiMMS is freed from the details of the horrendous MMS protocol, and can focus on usability.

mmsrip is a program which allows you to save on your hard-disk the content being streamed by an MMS server.
This program has been written for personnal use, so dont blame me if you think I am stupid doing such tool for the others.
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.

XAnim project is a program for playing a wide variety of animation, audio and video formats on unix X11 machines.
I attempt to reply to all the email messages I receive, however, I get quite a few with invalid return addresses. If you dont hear from me within a week, double check that your return address is correct.
XAnim X11 Support
XAnim supports the majority of the common X11 Visuals. It supports all depths that have a bpp of 1, 8, 16 and 32. Other bpps are non-standard(although they are legal). NOTE: that the depth indicates how many bits are used to specify the color of a pixel and the bpp indicates how many bits each pixel consumes in memory. For example, a depth 24 Visual usually has a 32 bpp uses 24 bits to specify the color and 8 bits of padding per pixel.
Since I optimize each video decompression routine(currently over sixty of them) for each bpp, its a lot of work when someone decides to use a "non-standard" bpp. Especially when the bpp doesnt have a correspondingly sized variable(like bytes for depth 8 or shorts for depth 16). This is why bpp 24 is not yet supported.
XAnim also supports X11 shared memory. This can greatly speed up the drawing of images on most X11 servers by eliminating the need for the X11 server to copy the image *before* writing the image to the display memory. NOTE: X11 shared memory isnt possible when you are using a remote display(ie: you are running on one machine and sending the display to another).
XAnim Audio Support
Unix doesnt have anything even remotely resembling an audio standard or API. This means separate and unique code must be written for each OS/machine combination that is to be supported.
Below is a list of the currently support platforms. If you have a platform that isnt currently supported and you would like to help write the code for it, let me know and I can provide you with some assistance, etc.
- Linux x86 platforms.
- NetBSD x86 platforms.
- BSDI x86 platforms.
- FreeBSD x86 platforms.
- SGI workstations(Indy, Indigo, etc).
- DEC workstations running MMS(Multimedia Services).
- Sun Solaris/SunOS Sparc/68K/x86 workstations.
- HP workstation running HPs Aserver.
- HP workstation direct audio device.
- Sony NEWS 5000 series workstations.
- QNX 4.2 x86 platforms.
- NEC EWS workstations.
- IBM AIX 4.1 workstations.
- Any machine running AudioFile(AF).
- Any machine running Net Audio Server(NAS).
Some time this year I plan on revamping the audio device section of XAnim to allow multiple audio devices to be compiled in at once. For example if you have a Solaris Sparc platform, you could then compile in support for the native audio device and NAS at the same time. That way you could use the same xanim executable depending on whether the machine youre on is running NAS or not.
The reason I bring this up is because I suspect I will probably break things left and right for a while and since I dont have access to the majority of these platforms, I wont be able to test them out before releasing. In any case, when the time comes, Ill give plenty of warning and will leave the old release around.

XMMPlayer is an input plugin for XMMS that allows you to play video files from within XMMS using MPlayer as a back-end. Easy, plain and simple. Just add the files you wish to play to the XMMS playlist and hit "play".
XMMPlayer currently detects AVI/MPEG, QuickTime, RealMedia, .BIN and ASF(WMV, WMA) files by identifying them using file-signatures ("magic"). OGG movies are detected by their extension (".OGM").
Please remember that is product is still in beta-stage and may not work on all systems and with all video files MPlayer supports. See the README section below for more info.
Main features:
- local file playback of AVI, MPEG, QuickTime and OGG movies using
- MPlayer
- playback of HTTP and MMS media streams (see below)
- Playback of (individual) VCD tracks or DVD titles (see below)
- Shows info (length, audio-(nit)rate / channels) in XMMS
- uses magic to detect AVI, MPEG, RealMedia and QuickTime movies (checks for .ogm extension to detect OGG movies, this to avoid MPlayer playing OGG sound files, which have the same magic identifier)
- pause and seek in files from within xmms
- Constant, skinned and dockable video window (can be turned off in options)

MMSRIP is a pure useless program which allows you to save on your hard-disk the content being streamed by an MMS server.
This program has been written for personnal use, so dont blame me if you think I am stupid doing such tool for the others.
MMS Ripper project should run on every POSIX compliant Operating System, but I cant give you any complete list.
