(12:08:18 PM) The_Headacher: For some reason, Kaffeine can play mms streams just fine, but it can't record it. I'm using xine-lib 1.1.7 and kaffeine 0.8.4. When I press record I get a screen saying: "The specified folder does not exist or was not readable". 
(12:11:50 PM) The_Headacher: If I press ok I get to select a file location, I choose somewhere in my users home directory. then I get a Xine Message telling me: 
(12:11:50 PM) The_Headacher: "Security Warning"
(12:11:50 PM) The_Headacher: "Security message:  The specified save_dir might be a security risk." 
(12:12:24 PM) The_Headacher: accompanied by an error like this: 
(12:12:26 PM) The_Headacher: Requested resource does not exist (mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/us/2007/06/26/ergas.nh.cops.last.stop.whdh.ws.wmv#save:/home/me/ergas.nh.cops.last.stop.whdh.ws.wmv)
(12:14:03 PM) The_Headacher: when I click the details there's 2 messages that catch the eye: 
(12:14:18 PM) The_Headacher: 12:03:33 PM: input_rip: error opening file ¸]ºe/me/cops.wmv: No such file or directory
(12:14:33 PM) The_Headacher: 12:03:33 PM: xine: The specified save_dir "¸]ºe/me" might be a security risk.
(12:16:58 PM) blinx: try this: mms://wmscnn.stream.aol.com.edgestreams.net/cnn/us/2007/06/26/ergas.nh.cops.last.stop.whdh.ws.wmv
(12:17:14 PM) blinx: or show me the url of the webpage where the video is included
(12:22:35 PM) The_Headacher: well, the problem is with all mms streams, I was just using video's from http://www.cnn.com/ as an example
(12:23:42 PM) The_Headacher: how do you mean try that link?
(12:23:57 PM) The_Headacher: It plays just fine
(12:25:05 PM) The_Headacher: It just doesn't record, I think because (for some reason) it passes a garbled save location to xine
(12:26:02 PM) The_Headacher: Or perhaps xine garbles it after receiving a correct link ...
