Sorry, but that string or any string in the HTML page does not contain "mmsh:" 
so I guess that one of the URLs on the page must be generating this one time 
password and pasing it back. Trying the string in the message and Xine says 
that the stream doesn't exist so presumably by accessing it means I can't use 
it again :-(
