  That last line is the answer to your problem.

  Or more extensively:
  * helixbin was a hack from several years back for a very specific
device.
  * If works with playbin2 ... so just make real files 'analyzed' by the
standard tracker extraction tool
  * Kill/remove/anihilate the helix extractor
  * And if you want better performances, you should consider moving the
extractor code over to GstDiscoverer[1] which will do what you want and
more.
