Complex mms:// stream

Hi ,
I have been trying to play mms:// stream. Most of the mms:// streams look ok. However if the mms:// has special character I am having issue with it. For instance my mms:// looks like following

'mms://tor-strm02.jumptv.com/usaTv?WMThinning=0&amp&Customer_ID=XXXX&Product_ID=XXXX&amp&WMContentBitrate=XX&WMCache=16&Asset_ID=1086&amp&Stream_ID=15520&User_Token=41ff85855264b9575'

I try putting "\" prior to all special character, however it servioo block it.

Any idea would be appreciate.

Do you try with "mmsh"

[zip]

you have to be able to get correct information about the stream doing

  Code:

ffmpeg -i "mmsh://xxxxxxxx"

Once you get that working add the URL to Serviio. I don't see any illegal characters in the URL.

Hi Zip,
Thanks for the quick response. I think serviio is passing the mmsh:// string to ffmpeg without the double quote. Here is what I did, I added my mmsh string to serviio "online sources". Select the mmsh:// source using my DLNA enable TV. And check for ffmpeg process information in Linux to check the cmd line passed to ffmpeg. I got the following

6000:~/tmp$ ps -ef | grep ffm
root 3620 2091 86 17:50 pts/1 00:01:42 ffmpeg -i mmsh://tor-strm03.jumptv.com/channelsbd ... Token=XXXX -y -threads 1 -async 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 25 -g 15 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 384k -ac 2 -map 0:2 -map 0:0 -sn -f vob pipe:
-dv6000:~/tmp$

As you can see serviio is not passing the mmsh string with double quote. I was expecting
ffmpeg -i "mmsh://tor-strm03.jumptv.com/channelsbd?WMThinning=0&Customer_ID=XXXX&Product_ID=XXXX&Asset_ID=XXXX&Stream_ID=XXXX&User_Token=XXXX" -y -threads 1 -async 1 -vcodec mpeg2video -sameq -r 25 -g 15 -copyts -acodec ac3 -ab 384k -ac 2 -map 0:2 -map 0:0 -sn -f vob pipe:


On a linux system I could enquire about mmsh string using double quote only.
ffmpeg -i "mmsh://tor-strm03.jumptv.com/channelsbd?WMThinning=0&Customer_ID=XXXX&Product_ID=XXXX&Asset_ID=XXXX&Stream_ID=XXXX&User_Token=XXXX"

That is being said, I try putting "\" before every special character in serviio "online content. This seems to fail for me, since serviio rejects the mmsh string and complains this is not a valid source.

Please advice the alternative.
Thanks

it puts quotes around it, it's just not in the log.
