[gst-devel] How to tell if gstreamer can play a file

[Danilo Freire]

Hi,

I dont know exaclty if exists a "isPlayable" method, but I know that is
possible to browse all the available plugins using the GSTRegistry, them,
check all available mimetypes. You can save this mimetypes and compare with
your uri.

Look at the GMediaRenderer project, it checks the mimetypes in the
initialization of the application.

After you have a list of the supported mimetypes, you can use a typefind in
you URI and compare with your list.

Something like you run the gst-inspect and the gst-typefind in the file, and
compare the results.
