(Redirected from Media Ressource Locator)
A media resource locator (MRL) is a URI used to uniquely identify and locate a multimedia resource. It is used by the VideoLAN and Xine media players, as well as the Java Media Framework (JMF) API.
VLC, for example, supports the following MRLs:[1]
- dvd://[⟨device⟩][@⟨raw device⟩][@[⟨title⟩][,[⟨chapter⟩][,⟨angle⟩]]]
- vcd://[⟨device⟩][@{E|P|E|T|S}[⟨number⟩]]
- http://⟨server address⟩[:⟨server port⟩]/[⟨file⟩]
- rtsp://⟨server address⟩[:⟨server port⟩]/⟨stream name⟩
Several media players also support Video4Linux as v4l:// and v4l2://.
