[FFmpeg-user] Live mmsh stream -> "mmsh://96.35.129.141:5000/STLTV_Live?MSWMExt=.asf: Invalid data found when processing input"

[Dan M]

I'm trying to suck in the live stream at 
http://www.stltv.net/live_vbrick.asx. When I load that stream in VLC and 
examine the stream info I am presented with a location of 
mmsh://96.35.129.141:5000/STLTV_Live?MSWMExt=.asf

When I try "ffprobe mmsh://96.35.129.141:5000/STLTV_Live?MSWMExt=.asf" 
or same result without the question mark and the stuff after it, I get :

I also try this on a machine with a more current version of mmplay:

Any suggestions on how I can ingest this live(ish) stream?
