Linux / Unix: Record / Capture MMS Stream And Save To a File

To record or capture an MMS (Microsoft Media Server) stream and save it to a file on a Linux or Unix system, you can use the mmsdump command.

mmsdump is a command-line tool that allows you to capture MMS streams and save them to a file. It is part of the mmsclient package, which can be installed on most Linux and Unix systems.

To install mmsclient, you will need to install the libwww-perl and libnet-perl libraries, which are required by mmsclient. On a Debian-based system, you can install these libraries using the apt-get command:

re‮f‬er to:lautturi.com
sudo apt-get install libwww-perl libnet-perl

On a Red Hat-based system, you can install these libraries using the yum command:

sudo yum install perl-libwww-perl perl-libnet-perl

Once the libraries are installed, you can install mmsclient using the package manager of your system. On a Debian-based system, you can install mmsclient using the apt-get command:

sudo apt-get install mmsclient

On a Red Hat-based system, you can install mmsclient using the yum command:

sudo yum install mmsclient

Once mmsclient is installed, you can use the mmsdump command to record an MMS stream and save it to a file. The mmsdump command takes a URL as an argument, and it will save the MMS stream to a file with the same name as the stream.

For example, to record an MMS stream from the URL mms://example.com/stream and save it to a file, you can use the following command:

mmsdump mms://example.com/stream
