           Summary: [dlnasrc] - New manager type element used for dlna
                    specific HTTP transfers
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.x
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

The dlnasrc is a source which utilizes souphttpsrc to perform an HTTP GET to
retrieve content from a DLNA (Digital Living Network Allicance) DMS (Digital
Media Server).

The dlnasrc is derived from a GStreamer bin component and may contain two
elements GStreamer souphttpsrc and CableLabs developed GStreamer filter element
called dtcpip.  The dlnasrc initiates transfer of media content from dlna
compliant Digital Media Servers (DMS). It also supports transfers from non-dlna
DMS.  To initiate transfers, it issues an HTTP HEAD request to discover
information about the content item associated with the supplied URI. The
dlnasrc will utilize the souphttpsrc to perform the actual HTTP get to retrieve
the media content.  If necessary, the dlnasrc will hook up the dtcpip element
if the media content is encrypted.   

This plugin is an URI handler.  When URI is initialized, it will issue an HTTP
HEAD request to retrieve information about the content using various DLNA
defined HTTP headers supplied in the HEAD request.
Based on the response from the DMS, this plugin may include the dtcpip element
in order to perform DTCP/IP decryption.
