  GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: 0.10.x

           Summary: RFE: support decoding of Tivo files, given the proper
                    key
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: notting at redhat.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Tivo files are encrypted with a per-user key; given that key, the user should
be able to watch them in any gstreamer-using app.

Not having deep knowledge of GST internals, I'd assume that this would require:

1) code in gst to recognize tivo files, and act accordingly
2) a mechanism for gst to tell the app that a key is required
3) a mechanism for the app to provide the key
4) code in gst to handle the key & decoding 

Decoding code is available at http://tivodecode.sourceforge.net/.
