           Summary: [flvmux] put more info (like width and height) in the
                    metadata
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: wulczer at wulczer.org

Players use the width and height info to scale the display if PAR is not
provided or if additional scaling is to be avoided.

The bug's summary is more general, because there's other data that might be
interesting for the players. For instance, common FLV metadata injectors put:

 * filesize in bytes
 * last timestamp
 * framerate
 * number of video and audio tags
 * audio and video codec IDs
 * canSeekToEnd info (if the last video tag is a keyframe)
 * ... other crap

in the metadata. See for instance http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/.

I'm not sure how much of that info is actually used by anything out there, but
since we have the info, maybe it's worth it to put in in there?
