Hello Sebastian, I have an issue with this item:

> This GstStructure contains information about the complete file and should

In the case of a DVD this can be an expensive operation to collect all the
information to create the 1 tree for whole the disc, because the navigation
data is spread across the disc, and disc access can be slow...

Accept from that the information about other titles on the disc is not
interesting for the player and there will be much information in the tree that
can't be translated to useful information for the end-user. So maybe it is the
best to send a TOC only for the current playing title (angles/chapters), and if
the user play's another title on this DVD a new TOC is send....
