The mimms2 from itayperl

mimms2's Introduction

mimms2 is a fork of mimms-3.2.1:
* Parallel downloading is supported (try -n 50)
* Refactoring. Use python-progressbar instead of a custom progressbar
* Support for Python 3

Original README
----------------

mimms is an mms (e.g. mms://) stream downloader

mimms is a program designed to allow you to download streams using the
MMS protocol and save them to your computer, as opposed to watching them
live. Similar functionality is available in full media player suites such
as Xine, MPlayer, and VLC, but mimms is quick and easy to use and, for the
time being, remains a useful program.

Originally, mimms was forked directly from the last known version of
mmsclient, which was for years unmaintained. mimms was started with the
following goals:

  * Keep a working copy of "mmsclient" (now "mimms") well maintained
  * Fix lots of the bugs that were in mmsclient
  * Extend the functionality of the program in useful ways

Since the 2.x series, mimms shares no code with mmsclient, and actually
does all of it's MMS operations using libmms, a library based off of
the xine-improved mmsclient code, which is designed to allow multiple
implementations of MMS clients without requiring a fragmented code base. The
mimms 3.x series is implemented entirely in python, and is freed from the
details of the MMS protocol and architecture dependence, and can focus
on usability.

mimms2 has the following major dependencies:

  * python (>= 2.7) - <http://www.python.org>
  * python-progressbar - <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/progressbar/2.3-dev>
  * libmms (>= 0.4) - <http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmms>
