MMS streams don't work in WM5?

[victorypoint]

I have a webcam that I'm streaming locally on my home network using MMS protocol on port 8081 (mms://webcam:8081). I was able to view the stream with Windows Media Player under WM2003SE but since upgrading to WM5, Windows Media Player gives me an error stating "cannot find the file". Does anyone know what may be causing this error?

Try installing TCPMP and using that.

Thanks man - that worked.

I also found mention of this WMP10 bug in another thread. Add /* to the end of the URL (e.g. mms://webcam:8081/*). That works too.
