[vlc] Standardised URL for media streaming ?

[Jeremy Ardley]

Hi,

Is there a standard way of representing URLs for streaming media sources? I
have seen a number of different schemes.

I have the problem of generating generic URLs that are then translated into
the correct form for each type of player.
It would make my life easier if there was a standard for such URLs - perhaps
an RFC, so I could then have the URL in the standard form and only translate
it to the final form at point of rendering.

For example for multicast udp streams:

VLC => udp://@224.168.100.64:3000
Moonlight => moonlight://224.168.100.64:3000/udp


Thanks for any help

Jeremy
