Bug#498174: libmms0: Please include support for extended stream properties
It seems upstream released a new version a while ago. However, this patch was not applied. Also, there exists now another patch doing the same in an upstream bugreport: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libmms/+bug/381782 -- Anssi Hannula -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The patch is fairly non-intrusive adding just support for parsing one new ASF header. I hope that this could be added directly to the Debian package because the upstream has been inactive lately, but I also understand if you don't want to diverge too far from the upstream sources. -- Antti Ajanki -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#498174: libmms0: Please include support for extended stream properties
Package: libmms0 Version: 0.4-2 Severity: wishlist An ASF stream can contain several versions of the content encoded in different bitrates as substreams. The mms software is supposed to select an appropriate substream when it begins to download the stream. The bitrates of the streams are described either in basic stream properties ASF header or in extended stream properties header. libmms release 0.4 supports only the basic stream properties header, and ignores the substreams in extended stream properties. Sometimes (I don't know if this is generally true) the basic header only describes the low quality substream, and all higher quality substreams are described in extended headers (maybe an ASF stream can contain only one basic stream properties header?). There is a bzr branch with the support for extended properties header at https://code.launchpad.net/~tonytung/libmms/asf_extended_stream_properties. Please, include this feature in the Debian package. A test case for the feature is mms://qstream-wm.qbrick.com/00928/sthlm/autowrapper/meta_anordinaryday_070604.wmv. libmms 0.4-2 (using mimms 3.2.1-1 as a frontend) retrieves a very low quality substream (9 kb/s audio, 37 kb/s video). With the extended properties support included, libmms downloads the substream with highest quality available (67 kb/s audio, 739 kb/s video). You can see the bitrates when libmms's debug output is activated. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26.1 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libmms0 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.5-1 The GLib library of C routines libmms0 recommends no packages. libmms0 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
