[Bug 756457] typefind does not recognize raw VP8 streams

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #2 from Francois Gouget <fgouget at codeweavers.com> ---
This is not about playing files.
Spice (an equivalent to VNC) can detect videos playing on the server, and
encode and send them to the Spice client as a video stream. Obviously these
streams are not encapsulated in a container. The server also sends the video
type to the client but if typefind could identify VP8 videos it would be
possible to rely on typefind rather than have to hardcode a limited set of
known video formats in the client.

Is there a reason to think VP8 (and VP9) video streams cannot be identified?
