Hello, Hi Could any one help me on how I can play .wsx links continuously. But when i right click and view properties in their player i see this play list [login to view URL];54ccfa782a1a454f933d134576681e3e=&it= (use view source to see mms link) I tried to open these mms , rtsp links with either windows media server or vlc player.

I am trying to record some programs from these channels for watching them later. any help is greatly appreciate and am willing to pay if someone can provide a solution. THanks,
