URI for multimedia

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:

  • dvd://]]
  • vcd://]
  • http://⟨server address⟩/
  • rtsp://⟨server address⟩/⟨stream name⟩

Several media players also support Video4Linux as v4l:// and v4l2://.
