mmsh:// seems to be not recognized

Distribution/Version: Ubuntu Hoary I'm trying to get the following stream on my harddrive with gstreamer: http://stanford-online.stanford.edu/courses/ee380/050216-ee380-100.asx I already succesfully dumped it with mplayer -dumpstream, and can also stream it with totem-xine. However i prefer to let gstreamer do the job. The file is a playlist, that links to another playlist infinitly, but totem in debug modus tells me: ** Message: on_got_redirect mmsh://lang.stanford.edu/courses/ee380/050216-ee380-100.wmv So i assume that is the real address. However gstreamer doesn't like it, i'm thinking it might be the mmsh:// bit. libmss is installed of course as well as asfdemux, and a mms:// i tried works fine. That's what i've been trying: gst-launch mmssrc location=mmsh://lang.stanford.edu/courses/ee380/050216-ee380-100.wmv ! filesink location=test.wmv It fails immediately, doesn't even seem to connect, i have the feeling mmsh cannot be parsed. The same command with mms instead of mmsh shows no error, but doesn't download anything.
Yes, mmsh is not supported yet by libmms the mms protocol library we are depending on. Mathrick is supposed to have a patch for this he is planing on merging soon, which would resolve the problem.
Fixed in 0.10, give it a try.
