Hello, Looks like nowadays Windows Media streaming comes with multiple substreams. I am trying to view mms://vipmms.itele.fr/cpi_itele using xine and unfortunately xine is only capable of playing 31 kbps stream (192x144 horrible picture) while Windows Media 9 Player could play the same stream at 102 kbps (nice 288x216 picture). I did some digging and found out that the media 9 stream above contains 4 substreams, namely stream ID 1 - 16996 bps, ID 2 - 9013 bps, ID 3 89821 bps and finally stream ID 4 at 30549 bps. Windows Media Player could figure out the best stream for available bandwidth (and could do substream switching on the fly, but that's a different story). From my research into different multi-substream streams it looks like xine always pick stream ID 4 or the last substream (I am not sure for all streams that I came up with have 4 substreams). So... is it possible somehow to... if not figure out "the best stream for the bandwidth" with xine, then at least manually specify to play certain sub-stream in multi-stream media 9 stream? Thanks, Aleksey |
