MMS Sink URL Syntax

The format of the string used by the LEAD MMS Sink filter is as follows (optional components are enclosed in square brackets):

mms://[username[:password]@]serveraddress[:port]/publishingpoint

This string is passed to IFileSinkFilter::SetFileName and specifies the:

1. IP address of the Windows Media Server (serveraddress).

2. The publishing point for the server. The clients should connect to this publishing point

3. (optional) Username and password used to connect to the server

4. (optional) The port to which the data should be pushed to. (Default is 80 for the HTTP port)

The clients who want to play the Windows Media stream should use this syntax to play the video:

mms://serveraddress/publishingpoint

See the Using the LEAD MMS Sink Filter topic for more details on how to use this filter.
