Official Streams
There are several official streams in a lot of different formats:
WMV
It has turned out that the WMV streams seem to be the most reliable streams, I recommend using them.
To play them you can use Windows Media Player (in case you have Windows), VLC or mplayer (Linux, Mac...)
Saal 1 – mmsh://wmv.28c3.fem-net.de/saal1
Saal 2 – mmsh://wmv.28c3.fem-net.de/saal2
Saal 3 – mmsh://wmv.28c3.fem-net.de/saal3
H.264
RTSP
The h.264 streams (rtmp) seem to be a bit unstable, especially the HQ ones. To play them you can use VLC or mplayer.
Saal 1 – HQ: rtmp://h264.28c3.fem-net.de:1935/rtmp/saal1_hq - LQ: rtmp://h264.28c3.fem-net.de:1935/rtmp/saal1_lq
Saal 2 – HQ: rtmp://h264.28c3.fem-net.de:1936/rtmp/saal2_hq - LQ: rtmp://h264.28c3.fem-net.de:1936/rtmp/saal2_lq
Saal 3 – HQ: rtmp://h264.28c3.fem-net.de:1937/rtmp/saal3_hq - LQ: rtmp://h264.28c3.fem-net.de:1937/rtmp/saal3_lq
HTTP Live Stream
The HTTP are HTTP-Live-Streams, they can be a bit delayed but should normally work. All you need is a MPEG player that can read M3U playlists. In the URL replace ".html" with ".m3u8".
They can be played
- on most iOS devices
- PCs with
- Android with
- native (Android 4)
- Daroon Player

FAQ
How to play HTTP-Streams?
To play them you need an iOS Device or Safari (running on Mac), or Quicktime X or a VLC 1.2 nightly.
Safari/iOS: No special setup needed, but the embeded video player can be crap sometimes
Quicktime X: Open Quicktime X (NOT Quicktime 7), press ⌘L and enter the stream url, which terminates with m3u8
VLC 1.2 nightly: Download VLC 1.2 nightly (Windows - 64Bit, Mac, other), then choose "Open Network" and enter the stream url, which terminates with m3u8. Due to a VLC bug you won't be able to seek!
Try play with a little hack:
ffmpeg -re -i applehttp+http://http.28c3.fem-net.de/live/stream_saal1.m3u8 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f mpegts pipe: | vlc -
How to download the streams?
I would recommend waiting for the final release, but if you are really impatient here a short guide how to download (dump) the streams.
I'm assuming that you are using Linux/Mac.
WMV
Install mimms:
Mac: sudo port install mimms
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install mimms
Go for it: mimms mmsh://wmv.28c3.fem-net.de/saalX SaalX.wmv
Note that mimms can sometimes create crap wmv files and it will mess up timecodes completely, cause you're dumping a live stream.
An alternative would be mplayer: mplayer -dumpstream mmsh://wmv.28c3.fem-net.de/saalX -dumpfile SaalX.wmv
RTMP (H.264)
Install rtmpdump:
Mac: sudo port install rtmpdump
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install rtmpdump
Go for it: rtmpdump -r "rtmp://h264.28c3.fem-net.de:1935/rtmp/saalX_hq"
Can I watch/listen the streams on my iPhone?
Yes! Just use the HTTP Streams. There is also an App for that.
Can I watch/listen the streams on my Android?
Yes! Just use the HTTP Streams which you can play using the Daroon Player.
