I'm impressed that most media players (Audacious included, read on) can
handle a proprietary Microsoft protocol (and now an open standard, but
whatever) that they have essentially deprecated within their own
environment.

The solution to this problem: use mms:// instead of mmsh://

Microsoft suggests to continue to use the "mms://" URI to ensure
backwards compatibility. Their tools try to connect to RTSP (MMS
replacement) over UDP, then over TCP, then MMS over UDP, then over TCP
(THIS is commonly called MMSH or MMS over HTTP). If you look at the IANA
URI Scheme list (https://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-
schemes.xhtml) you'll find an mms, but not an mmsh.

That said, I think the problem here lies with whomever dropped that URI.
as it ignores standard behavior. If they want to force people to have
MMSH connections, the simple solution is to not provide anything but MMS
over TCP services rather than forcing it via the URI.
