I've got the same error, but only with seekable streams. Mimms still works perfectly with non-seekable streams.
Would you please try using a non-seekable stream? You can find one here: http://nos.nl/nieuws/live/journaal24/wmv/ I can give you the mms-link, but it probably won't work because of the ridiculous security on Dutch National television broadcasts (e.g. hash functions and not being allowed to view the same broadcast twice within 24 hours). mms://emil08.omroep.nl/thema_journaal24-bb-public?/nos/journaal24-bb&md5=4731ff652f227ff3c890e962dfea0bff&t=4c67f3ba please note that there's an ampersand (&-sign) in these links, so you'll want to put it between quotation marks This one worked just fine for me: $ mimms 'mms://emil08.omroep.nl/thema_journaal24-bb-public?/nos/journaal24-bb&md5=4731ff652f227ff3c890e962dfea0bff&t=4c67f3ba' journaal24_15-08-10.asf mms://emil08.omroep.nl/thema_journaal24-bb-public?/nos/journaal24-bb&md5=4731ff652f227ff3c890e962dfea0bff&t=4c67f3ba => journaal24_15-08-10.asf ∞ B / 1.25 MB (19.48 kB/s, 00:01:26 remaining) Download complete! Also I don't think this is caused by a python update. This is merely a deprecation warning. sys.stderr is still available in python 2.6: http://www.python.org/doc//current/library/sys.html#sys.stderr But it's removed in python 3.0: http://docs.python.org/py3k/whatsnew/3.0.html#changes-to-exceptions Surely, if sys.stderr would've been removed in python 2.6, we wouldn't have seen the error message at all. Line 245 of core.py prints a standard error, because a "libmmms connection error" was raised in line 70 of libmms.py. Both core.py and libmms.py are in the mimms package (version 3.2.1). libmms.py raised this error because it failed to connect, using mmsx_connect in line 38 of mmsx.c in the libmms package. Now I'm using version 0.4-2 of libmms, which is the latest available for ubuntu, but really the latest stable release is version 0.6: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmms/ So I suppuse we should just update to libmms version 0.6 I just don't know how to properly install it. I tried this: /libmms-0.6$ ./configure; make; sudo checkinstall But it didn't replace version 0.4 ** Summary changed: - doesn't start downloading + doesn't start downloading seekable streams ** Also affects: libmms Importance: Undecided Status: New -- doesn't start downloading seekable streams https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584983 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
