           Summary: [discoverer] optionally use tagreadbin for metadata
                    extraction
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mnauw at users.sourceforge.net
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


Assuming tagreadbin as (give or take) in bug #564749 ever makes it into -base,
some minor adjustments to discoverer allow using tagreadbin (in turn using a.o.
uridecodebin) rather than uridecodebin directly.

While in this mode not all features may be extracted (e.g. no stream topology),
it brings some tagreadbin advantages, e.g. typically no decoders are involved.
